TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 67

e In June we were delightfully entertained at the Woman's City Club
- by Helen Frost Rath for luncheon.
,
. During the summer no meetings were held. Bee Bunting had a
e chance to become well acquainted with Pat Brown and Melita Skillen
on her European Tour this summer.

The Seniors of '24 of Omicron Pi chapter purchased material f o r
drapes in Cleveland for the chapter house, as a parting gift. The Detroit
r Alums offered to help them make the drapes during vacation. Many of

us were away and September rolled around before we knew it and no
drapes. Specials and letters came thick and fast between Dorothy Wylie
in Shelby, Velma Leigh in Cleveland, Lorraine Price in Buffalo and Ruth
Harding in Detroit, with pleas to help the poor Seniors finish drapes
for rushing.

s I n desperation one week before rushing we met with Ruth Harding,
l with thimbles, needles, thread and electric sewing /nachincs, six strong,
s to work. Everybody meant business. When we began on the costly
d material, we thought we had to do more than we bargained for. But
t Alpha O's never fail, so between pressing hems, basting, and stitching, we
t finished eight pair, fringe and all. The next evening we met with Bee
r and finished the casement windows and Wednesday night about nine o'clock
; Bee Bunting carried the precious drapes out to the house. We think
e the curtains helped rushing along as our active chapter pledged seventeen
h adorable girls and we know the drapes won their hearts as well as our
h Alpha O's.
, We have much news of our Alpha O's with regard to engagements,
d marriages, babies, and professions.
a Louise Duncan, of all people, is engaged. The lucky man to get this
, Alpha O prize is Alexander Stuart Clarke of Georgia Tech. who is at
e present in Shihkiochiwang, China, in interest of Tobacco Products Cor-
r poration. His home is in Tampa, Florida, so that we have some hope
; that they may make their home in this country. He is twenty-eight
d years old and very good looking. He'd have to be to have our Louise.
s
s Louise spent her vacation f o r six- weeks in the American School
, at Kuling, China.

Esther Hagenbucher was married in Tunc and lives in Syracuse—
Number 4 Onondaga Place. The Alpha O's had a shower for her be-
fore she left Detroit.

d
- Jordan had luncheon with her this summer.
