nd The most important event since last I wrote is the coming of our
on Grand President. We were very glad to see her personally as well as
rs officially. Her visit was a busy one with convention plans, but not too
busv to inspire us with fresh enthusiasm and greater efforts for convention.

BANGOR ALUMNAE

We had not had a real get-together since our summer picnics, so we
made a festive occasion of our first regular meeting at the home of our
president, Lilla Hersey, on Saturday, September twentieth. We had ice
cream and cake and everything. There was so much news to relate that
m- for the first half hour everybody talked at once and, of course, everybody
e! had a good time. Needless to say, very little business was transacted, but
'd we had a long discussion of ways and means for raising funds for the
m national work. A committee was chosen to arrange the program for
se the coming year. We hope to have many interesting and profitable
ne meetings. Several members of our chapter were married during the
wo summer. Mollie Wheeler married Sam Tyack and is living in Watertown,
Mass. Virginia Colbath married Horace Crandall, Sigma Chi, U . of
se Maine, and is living in Melrose Highlands, Mass. Ethel Packard married
h, Vinton Harkness, S. A . E.. U . of Maine. Three of our number married
ed U . of Maine Phi Gamma Deltas. Lois Mantor married "Jack" Jackson;
of Marie Hodgdon married "Curt" Curtis; and Catherine Sargent married
ve Frederick Marston. Madeleine Robinson.married Dr. Edward Herlihy and
ry we are glad to say that she will continue to live in Bangor.

PORTLAND ALUMNAE

th The second Saturday of each month always finds all good Portland
AOIl's together. In September we met for luncheon at the Sovereign
ng hotel, but this winter we are reverting to the old plan of meeting at the
he homes.
ke Our depleted ranks are being recouped with new girls, and a hotel
luncheon gives neither setting nor time for developing the friendships in
ae Alpha O that we find mean so much to us.
n. Violet Krohn of Upsilon has moved to Woodlawn, Washington, and
he is planning to attend our meetings.
nt Laura Hurd paid us the compliment of a fleeting visit last week, and
Caroline Paige entertained at tea in her honor. I t was a treat to all to
meet her again, and a real reunion f o r the Upsilon girls.
of Airs. Frank Burlingham was also a guest at the tea, and we're hoping
ot
n. that her plans to make Portland her home will come true.
in Mabel Hilstrom (Upsilon) surprised us all by announcing her marriage
ee in August to M r . E. R. Walsh of Portland.
ve We urge that all AOIl's when visiting Portland will get in touch
hy with Louise Clawson, Secy., Ga. 5288, or Evelyn Cornish, Pres., Ga. 9382.

n's We are glad to say that Upsilon has started work on one phase of
il the new national work and has been honored bv the National Fund bv
is receiving a check f o r $250.00 to apply on the orthopedic work. How I
ry would like to be able to tell every alumnae chapter what wonderful work
he is being done but I can not possibly tell you everything. As our orthopedic
ne hospital started in a small wav, so we hope to grow in service as it has
re grown.
nd
he The orthopedic hospital was started by a woman who had a crippled
child She took in another child to help and soon the work outgrew
ner home. Then a few beds were maintained in one of the city hospitals.
