cisco, and she has been working so hard
at it that she almost had a breakdown
when she was visiting here. We were
certainly glad to see her, if only for a
short time. Margaret Poulton (Ex. '30),
deserted the alumna? last fall and went
back to school at University o f Cali-

Kappa Theta is proud of the fact that
Helen Shield Dixon ('27), is president
of the Los Angeles Alumna; chapter this
year. Helen was the first president of
our active chapter so this is not her
first experience. However, i t is quite an
undertaking now that she has little
Nancy Ann Dixon, requiring a good deal
of her time. Kappa Theta's extend tardy,
but nevertheless most sincere, congratu-
lations to Muriel McKinney on her
election as Grand Vice President of our
sorority at convention last summer. A l -
though Muriel is not of our chapter,
we feel very close to her because she
has done so much more for us than we
could ever express, and we wish her
all the success in the world in her new
office. To Helen Haller, also, we wish
the best of luck i n her national office.
Speaking of novel experiments, here's
a good one. Last summer Betty Scott
Bulkley ('29), and Lillian Loudon Van-
der Laan (Ex. '27), and their respec-
tive husbands, started out apartment
hunting and ended up by getting a triple
apartment and moving in together. Bet-
ty and Lillian were working in the
same bank at that time, and it worked
out beautifully. They all say the ex-
periment was a success. I t lasted over
four months, anyway, and at that time
Lillian and her husband moved to M o n -
tebello Park to be near his work.
Florence Summerbell ('31), went back
to New York last fall. She is studying

Engagements
Kappa Theta president, Margaret
Poulton ('32), announced her engage-
ment to Ensign Ray Needham of the
S.S. "Saratoga" on January 4. The
pledges gave a surprise lingerie shower
for her at the Los Angeles Country
Club on February 5. The success of
the affair was due for a great part to
Gertrude Long ('34), and to be sure it
was a success as well as a complete
surprise to Margaret.
On January 11, two Kappa Theta's,
both of whose names are Mildred, and
who have roomed together for the past
four years, announced their engagements
