4 TO PRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Phi Beta Kappa. She was an honor student i n the class of
1924, an honor student being one of those classed i n the highest
10 per cent of scholastic standing of the entire University.

Alida was one of our strongest girls in the sorority and
very active in religious work on the Hill.

OMICRON PI
Velma Leigh Carter of Lakewood, Ohio, was the Omi-
cron Pi Phi Beta Kappa i n the class of '24. Because, in spite of
it all, she was not a Phi Beta Kappa type, we are most proud
of her.
Needless to say, her scholarship was surging around up
in the clouds, but surging with it was her extremely artistic
temperament.
Velma Leigh, while being especially dramatic and liter-
ary, is an "all-around" girl—not a sit-in-the-corner, forsaken-
by-beauty seekers type—not that—just glance at her picture.
For pep and entertainment we sought out our Phi Beta
Kappa, an unusual sounding statement, it seems, but only
too true.
Of the three thousand, three hundred girls on the Michigan
campus, Velma Leigh Carter was of the best known, having
belonged to many honorary and dramatic societies among
which are Sigma Delta Phi, a national oratorical and dra-
matic honorary society. Wyvern, a Junior honorary society,
Stylus, a literary society, Masques, Mummers and the Little
Player's club, all dramatic organizations—and was a mem-
ber of the Whimsies staff. I n fact, not a better all-around girl
could be found.

Ten presidents of the United States have been Phi Beta
Kappas: Adams. Van Buren, Pierce, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur,
Cleveland, Roosevelt, T a f t , and Wilson.—A Y Quarterly.
