But while some are "seeking pastures new," we are fortunate in
having Clara Smith back with us after a year's absence spent in
Covington. She is now teaching in the Lynchburg schools.
Elizabeth Webber Payne and Gordon, Sr. and Jr., are spending
several weeks with Mr. and Mrs. Webber of Texarkana.
Virginia Allen holds the chair of mathematics at the Lynchburg
High School and is establishing quite a reputation as a teacher.
Frances Allen is still doing the million and one things that someone
must do, never refusing a request that is brought to her.
Annie Kate Gilbert spent two days with us on her way to a
Y. W. C. A. conference in New York. Fanny Butterfield stopped
over on her way to Covington where she is teaching this winter.
Augusta Stacey also passed through on her way from New York
where she spent the summer at Columbia. We are mighty proud
of all these alumna?.
The alumna?, met with Kappa at her first regular meeting for the
year and were much impressed with the personnel of the chapter.
The four pledges are splendid types of girls and we feel that the
chapter is going to make this a record year in every way.
Quite interesting details might be told of the various war activities
in which the girls are engaged—as a whole in supporting the French
Qiphan and individually in other branches. Briefly though it may
be said that each one is doing her bit to bring about the end for which
we are all striving and let us hope that when the next letter goes
to To DRAGMA the peace which is the dream of hearts the world over
may be more of a reality because of our redoubled efforts.
Fraternally yours,
N A N ATKINSON CRADDOCK, President.
