44 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI
was used for the first time on DePauw campus and proved to be an
exceptional success.
Mary Carmack, a pledge from last year, was initiated one night after
hours during rush week.
We have "loads" of musical talent—Ruth, Vera, Hylma, Clarice, and
Louise among the pledges and Mary Tinder and Lorena Sloan among the
initiated girls, being in music school. Clarice made the girls' glee club
and Kathryn Kelly, Hylma, Carolyn Pierce, and Mussette Williams are
in the university orchestra. Katherine Schmidt is quite athletic—she
and several of the other pledges are going out for soccer and will prob-
ably win honors for us some time during the year. Tryouts for DePauw's
musical comedy, "Listen Ulysses," were held for more than one hundred
girls; Mary Carmack, Ruth Wilson, and Caroline Pierce were among the
lucky few. Frances Gray has been chosen Sport Editor of the "Mirage,"
DePauw's annual, chairman of the Budget Committees and is on the
W. A. A. Board for this year. Katherine Davis has been appointed to
the judicial committee of W. S. G. A. and has been elected treasurer
of Theta Sigma Phi.
We have several new things for the house, a beautiful taupe mohair
davenport and rugs to match for the living room; the floors have all been
done over.
Last weekend was the Indiana-DePauw football game; 'most every
girl in the house attended. Although the score was most disappointing,
they all had a wonderful time as the guests of the Beta Phi.
Marie Sullivan and Mary K . Geek, both of Beta Phi, were guests at
the chapter house last week.
The marriage of Constance Sunsomo to Howard Weikheart of Fort
Wayne was solemnized October 18 at four o'clock at the First Presbyterian
Church of that city. Mary Driscol attended the wedding and dinner. We
all thought the experience would be good for Mary as her pin serenade
had just been given a week before following the Sigma Nu steak roast.
Theta is proud to announce the arrival of twins to Janice Brown
Smith in the personnel of two darling daughters answering to the names
of Joyce and Jo Ann.
MUSETTE WILLIAMS.
DELTA—JACKSON COLLEGE
All aboard for a new year with few casualties in our chapter roll.
Besides our seven seniors we've lost "Timmie" Brooks to the bright lights
of New York. Ruth Morris forsook us for a stage career and she's
getting along famously. If anyone sees her name in electric lights above
the foremost theater of any large city just buy a ticket and watch our
"Bimbo" do her stuff. "Liz" Fuller went back to Elmira College from
whence she came to us a year ago. The reason "Liz' gives is vague but
we think she "just couldn't get accustomed to men in her classes. She's
so shy! Helen Bishop heeded the call of the California songs and is
roving through the orange groves, if the report we've heard is true, she's
not roving alone as her "interest" here followed her. Lucia Sleeper, one
of our pledges, has gone into the commercial world to see what she can
see.
Fraternity camp was a huge success. We had Ruth Whiten's summer
home at Salisbury Beach.
Seven Deltas ran the dining room of a club in Vermont with Sue
O'Brien as "boss" (something hard to imagine) and they haven't finished
ecstacizing yet. Libby Atkinson, Brie Field and Peggy Arnold went to
"Baw Hawbor" for the summer where they were royally and heartily
entertained (emphasis on the latter adjective). Peggy has the distinction
of having taught Mrs. Vanderbilt to play parchesi.
