ALPHA PHI
The first homecoming of the year occurred in October, when Marie
Moebus and Chloe Cox, '23, Margaret Chrystal, Helen Chase Walter, and
Mary Baldwin, '24, returned on pledging day to greet their six wonderful
new Alpha O sisters.
The class of '24 proved to be a teaching corps with the exception of
Margaret Conkling who is taking some post graduate work and also do-
ing clerical work in the Registrar's Office, and Mary Maxey Kirk is living
in Helena and keeping house f o r her "wonderful" new husband.
Lucille Staebler has strayed furthest away and is teaching in Greens-
boro, North Carolina. She lectured on "Color" for a crayon pencil
company and worked from New York to North Carolina. We expect
our "Lou" to travel much further too. Harriet Nordstrom is teaching
in La Junta, Colorado. The other '24's didn't leave old Montana. Thelma
Newkirk is at Glascow, Alice Stranahan at Belt, Helen Waite at Roundup,
Helen Qiase Walter at Rapalje, and Margaret Chrystal and Mary Bald-
win at Butte.
Mary Stranahan Morphy returned to Havre with her husband to spend
a month's vacation this fall.
Mary Egan is a critic teacher at the State Normal at Dillon.
Blanch Border Mencke is also teaching in Dillon, and we find "Gladie"
Mathews close to them at Helena. Marie Moebus is teaching in Butte
after her fine trip east this summer. She gives thrilling accounts of her
visits with "Mary D " and Betty Hiestand Smith.
Lillian Drummond Thompson stopped at the chapter house on her
trip through Bozeman, and writes in the "Log" book that she "misses
the old familiar faces." So say all the alums.
Etta Haynes is private secretary for a woman lecturer. Etta travels
ahead and books her engagements and generally manages the business end.
Helen Tripp Davis with her adorable baby daughter came to Butte
from her home in Vancouver, for Henrietta Moebus' wedding. She plans'
to stay until after the holidays and the six "Butties" are planning gala
times together, and devising schemes for helping the active chapter.

MARRIAGES

Henriette Moebus. '21, and Irving Bolitho were married in Butte on
October 14. Marie Moebus, '23, was bridesmaid and Helen Tripp Davis,
'21, was matron of honor. I t was a beautiful home wedding with a flower
girl, ring bearer and all the other necessary requisites—including, of
course, our "Hankie" as the most charming of brides. Alpha Phi girls
who were present were Marlyn Judd Hauseman, Florence Aitken, Margaret
Chrystal. and Mary Baldwin. "Hankie" and " I r v " left f o r a honeymoon
trip to California. They will live in Butte, where he is in the banking
business.

ENGAGEMENTS

Again Margaret Conkling does the unexpected thing, and instead of
tripping off to New York to study literary art, announces her engagement
to Carrol Donahue, Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
