Omega on the first rush day at the homes of Mother Clark and Mildred
Dennison. Billy Moore and Ada were the chief musicians, Pearl Ayres
aw ands the artist, " B i g " Scotty was the entertainment promoter, Leafy Jane
Mildred were the sandwich makers and cup washers. Helen Haller
sent us lovely favors f r o m California, and some of the husbands strung
up lanterns and were generally useful. Have any of you other chapters
better cooperation?
The first meeting of the year was held at the home of Lillian
Daugherty Moore in Hamilton, September 27. We discussed the aftermath
details of the party, and the prospects of our philanthropic sewing. Billy
is to take charge of the distribution of materials—and right well is she
doing her work, f o r as I write a huge bolt of material stands at my
side ready to be turned into garments f o r the hospital.
The Homecoming Reunion meeting is to be in Oxford—in Martha
Jane Jacque's new apartment. We are planning to meet immediately after
the game. After the formal meeting we hope to reune with all alumnae
whether they are members of the chapter or not. Visiting husbands will
have an auxiliary meeting at the Dennison House.

MILWAUKEE ALUMNAE
Milwaukee has an alumnae chapter at last! Installed October 14 by
Laura Hurd.
To Mrs. Frieda Dorner belongs the credit, for she was untiring in her
efforts to round up the scattered AOII's in Milwaukee. She brought the
petition around to all of us to sign, invited us all to her home for a
preliminary meeting. To her belongs the credit of establishing our chapter
—bringing about the realization of a dream long hoped for.
The newly organized chapter now has ten members, and hopes to
increase its membership very soon. And there is a good representation
too: Frieda L . Dorner, Theta; Shirley E. Davis, Eta; Catherine Fleming
Fredericks, Eta; Edna Hunter Bowman, Iota; Margaret Welkes Ball,
Sigma; Margaret Stolley Leypoldt, Eta; Dorothy E. Paull, Eta; Marion
K. Habhegger, Eta; Dorothy Chausse, Alpha Sigma; and Dorothy L.
Wiesler, Eta.
We had dinner at the Milwaukee Athletic Club preceding installation
which took place at Mrs. Domer's home.
Laura H u r d stopped only long enough to install our chapter and
enthuse us about National Work project and the next convention. She
was on her way to install the new chapter at Maryland. We very much
regretted not being able to see more of her, for a longer visit would
have been far more satisfactory.
