Carnaby visited in Iowa City, Iowa, and Lake Okoboji, Iowa. Lorene
Davis and Dr. Davis motored to Detroit, ferried to Canada and con-
tinued their motor trip of some forty-five hundred miles through the east,
visiting New York, Albany, Atlantic City, Philadelphia and other points.

Helen Gould returned from "rushing" in Lincoln with most favorable
reports about the pledges.

Just now our chief concern is ways and means to secure funds f o r
National Work.

No letter.

SYRACUSE ALUMNAE
Our chapter is still breathing sighs of satisfaction over the success
of the house party which under the capable direction of Sadie Campbell
Williams we engineered this August at the chapter house. Forty girls
appeared during the ten days that the house was turned over to the "old
crowd." From making cinnamon toast in the kitchen to a pillow fight
in the dorm we re-lived the days that used to be and discovered what
everyone has been doing since she left college, twelve or seven or four
years ago. Our list is an envious one: Billy Shubmchl Barkman, '09;
Nellie Retan, '10; Camilla Jennison Eder, '12; Polly Emmerling Stage
(all the way from Arkansas) and Grace Cummings Vincent of '13; Ruth
Dibben, Gertrude Jennison Sellen, Edna Wendt Hemstreet, and Edith
Smith Hausner of '14; Mary Cullivan Parkhurst. Martha Sargent Sheals,
and Mildred Williams Hover of '15; Florence Gilger. Gertrude Shew, and
Emily Tarbell of '16; Sadie Campbell Williams, Helen Schrack. Edna
Hausner, Ethel Hausner Lattin. and Ruth Melvin of '17; Frances Carter,
Florence Hughes Clark, and Edith Rauch of '19; Mary Adams, Irene
Becker, and Florence Lawthcr Rich of '19; Eleanor Cullivan and Esther
Hagenbucher H i l l of '20: Nora Knight King and Marian Knapp of ' 2 1 ;
Edna Williams Ingham, '22; Marjoric Townscnd. Beatrice Barron. Mildred
Sittser, and Edith Gessler of '23; and Teddie Petri Oelrich and Doris
Knapp of '24. Gladys Wales of Delta and Mina Gordon and Ruth Hawks
of the actives also visited us. The guest of honor was Jean Lattin,
Syracuse, and A O I I to-be. class of 1940.
The brides are " A t Home" in Syracuse. We have three recently
settled in our midst. Esther Hagenbucher H i l l , Jessie Lewis Rice, and
Teddie Petri Oelrich. Tudie Marks is teaching at Baldwinsville, just out-
side the city. W i t h these recruits we are planning a busy season f o r
the alum chapter. I n November we shall sponsor a Sunday afternoon
"Open House" f o r students and faculty at the chapter house. As for
making money—Bea Barron is taking orders for stationery, Myrtle has
charge of a food sale at one of the department stores downtown. I n
addition we shall sell Christmas cards and hold our usual movie benefit.
Our first meeting of the fall held at the chapter house the evening of
September 30 produced numerous enthusiastic ideas.

DETROIT ALUMNAE
It is so long since To DRAG MA has had news from Detroit Alumnae
chapter, that we are going to favor Alumnae Readers with a lengthy
letter. Our account of the May meeting which should have been in the
September To DRAGMA may seem rather stale, but for the sake of some
of our beloved Alpha O's who are far away f r o m us we hope the rest
will not be bored.
At our May meeting, the following officers were elected: President,
Bee Bunting: Vice President. Gladys Hindman; Treasurer, Marion Tanner;
and Secretary, Dorothy Jacobs. At that meeting, held at Betty Gratton
Young John's, we were eighteen in number, a splendid turnout.
