OUR N E W OFFICERS

N AMES W I L L be names! But how nice i f we could associate each
one with some definite personality so that when we study
over our directory pages the month, week, or perhaps the hour
before fraternity examinations, and mumble to ourselves these
often quite meaningless syllables which those honored by office in
Alpha Omicron Pi were born with, or have acquired in the usual
way, we could say to ourselves, "Oh yes! I met her at Syracuse,"
or "She was at Minneapolis convention, and wore a green and
gold dress and sat across f r o m me at the banquet." Now, sadly
enough, comparitively few of us have the opportunity of meeting
the owners of these various names at conventions, so, lest you
continue to think of them as mere names, we shall try to introduce
you to them in the pages of T o DRAGMA, to lead you down a receiv-
ing line on paper, as it were. I n the next issue our 'line' will be
continued.

Katrina Overall McDonald, a member of N u Omicron chap-
ter, graduated f r o m Vanderbilt University in 1918. Shortly after-
ward she was married to M r . Carl C. McDonald, Kappa Alpha,
(Southern), of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Her two small sons,
David, aged three, and year-old Junior, have not prevented her
from taking an active part in all phases of fraternity and civic life.
As District Superintendent over the Southern district f r o m 1921-
1923, she endeared herself to the chapters under her supervision
by her charm and helpfulness, and to the Executive Committee
which appointed her by her unfailing interest and efficiency. As
Grand Treasurer f r o m 1923-1925, she was no less successful.
The sound training in fraternity work shown by this record of
service, plus a great personal charm make her an admirable choice
for this our highest of fraternity offices. To quote a member of
the outgoing Executive Committee, "don't you know she will make
the grandest Grand President?"

Joanna Donlon Huntington is also a member of the class of
1918. ( A bumper crop, that year, we might say, and quality as
well as quantity.) A member of Epsilon chapter, she received her
degree f r o m Cornell University. A f t e r graduation she took a
secretarial course in New York City; then became secretary to
