rytown. Jn order lo help swell our Philan-

meeting paid a small charge for a buffet lunch-

Stella Perry had promised to install these
officers for us at the February meeting but due
to a blizzard which paralyzed all means of
transportation we were obliged to postpone the
meeting until March, at which time she was
unable to be with us. Our vice president.
Mary Hingsberg ( N ) installed the new officers
in the absence of our president, Eve Adams
Miller ( H ) . We are most happy to announce
the arrival in Eve's home on March 17 of a
future Alpha O, Joanne Elizabeth. We are
all very grateful to Eve and Priscilla Sawyer
Ross ( F ) , who have been our president and
secretary, for the great strides we have made
under their guidance during the first year of
our existence.
Plans for Rushing Parties

She doesn't look so hot to me.
What's to do about it? Let's
Shade all the light* so he can't see!
1 don't like her dress, do you?
And her veil is ftinny, too.
What's to do about it? Let's
Shade all the lights and hide their view.
They're growing dumber every day;
I'm sure they'll make a perfect pair, girls!
And in a year or two. I'd say
They'll even he much worse, girls!
Girls, oh, girls! Oh, here they come!
Quiet now! The fun's begun!
What's to do about it? Let's shade all the

Bride sings lo the tunc of "Here Lies Love"—
To see him now, you'd not suppose
I thought he never would propose.
He thinks this wedding was his plan;
Hurling, how like a man!
My dear old dad had said to me,
" Y o u r mother and 1 both agree
You're not as young as you used to be.
Daughter, go get a man!"
I met him, said he'd he all right;
I made out I went for him at sight.
Then he fell, I could tell, all was well.
Today's the day, my day in June.
It's not a single day too soon.
I'm ready to start my honeymoon.
Darling, I got my m a n !
Parson sings to the tune of "And so I married the
girl"—
Now I pronounce you two as man and wife
Tied in bonds sthorohuoglyh,outot o,this

And you're to honor and obey;
But if you can't afford to cherish her.

Don't talk to her mother and her father, too.
Stay away from families and all her friends,

Presenting a Personality
[ C O N T I N U E D KHOM P A G E 2 4 ]
A l l the departments of the College of Home
Economics are in this building; it has recep-
tion rooms, and auditorium, a cafeteria, a tea-
room, three apartments f o r practice house
work, recreation rooms for the students and
a terrace, nurseries for child training, observa-
tories for the stud) of the child, model rooins
set up to demonstrate the principles of home
furnishings, a costume shop, sewing rooms
laboratories, and offices all planned and fur-
nished by her. She kept in close touch wifiM
all of the departments included in the building
in her planning for them so that she might
adequately fill their needs.
She has traveled much in the last year or
two, personally selecting all of the furnish-
ings f o r the building, and yet, between the
trips, she has found time to teach a few
classes. A new method that she originated
in her classes on Eurnishings i>- attracting much
attention. She has made use of movable
wall boards, much like those used in stage
sets, to allow the pupils to construct their
own rooms to furnish. Instead of designing
lights on paper, the students have an actual room
to work with. Since these wall-boards arc
adjustable, the rooms may be made of any
size and put up or taken down at will. Nat-
urally the students respond to the opportunity
for real imaginative work that her method
affords.
Anyone who has accomplished as much as
she has deserves our recognition. Most im-
portant about Grace Morin, however, is the
way in which she stands out apart from her
work as a distinct personality. She has not
been absorbed by it until she became a part
of it, but she has made it the final expression
of herself. We are proud to know her as an
\lpha O.
From Our Social Worker
[ C O N T I N U E D FROM P A C E 59]
tinually acquiring! So pressing, so inescapable
is the awareness of a need f o r a new and
better economic basis for life in the mountains,
a new or re-vitalized social sense, a new in-
spiration to living, I suspect you'll always find
me pursuing one idea or another as to how
those things might be achieved! Grant that
we may have the faith, the patience, the.
energy, the devotion to make actuality of
whatever these ideas have of truth and worth
in them.
Faithfully yours, BLANn MORROW.
