TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

MILWAUKEE
The summer finds us vacationing, that is, most of us. So very few
remain to toil in the city that meetings have perforce been abandoned.
We were very glad to see Rochelle Gachet in Milwaukee a short time
ago. Her visit was so very short that only a few of the girls had the oppor-
tunity to meet her.
One attempt has been made at a meeting in the form of a picnic at
Mrs. Dorner's, summer home at Pine Lake. Of course it rained! How-
ever, we haven't quite given up hope of having that picnic soon.
We're all looking forward to our first meeting in September when we
can hear all about Convention first hand.

No different from anyone else we are still very much excited over
Convention and can talk of nothing else. We can not help being some-
what envious of all those who were fortunate enough to attend. Ruth
Black, our delegate, has told us what wonderful hostesses the Tau girls
and Minneapolis alumnae were until we feel cheated because we didn't
get to meet them too. We are playing Pollyanna, however, and are so
glad we received our charter in time to go to Convention for we were
all there in spirit.
Oklahoma City alumnae chapter was installed on May 18, 1925, at the
X i chapter house at Norman by Miss Elizabeth Wyman. That privilege
will not soon be forgotten and will surely act as an everlasting inspiration.
Since our installation we have followed Robert Herrick's advice to
make much of time and have given a benefit bridge, a food sale, and a
rummage sale. The money will be used for the chapter house at Norman.
We attempt to meet every other Wednesday night in the homes of
members but our sessions so far have been rather irregular, called meetings
being necessary to make plans for our financial ventures. For the last two
times we have had spend-the-day parties, the first at Ruth Black's and the
other with Emily Hess, an active member of X i . We took our lunches and
made decorations for the fall rush. We were very pleased to have with
us for lunch, not only because she is an Alpha O but also because of her
own charming personality, Miss Vandenburg of Iota. She is assistant to
Mr. Barton, new superintendent of schools of Oklahoma City.
Since we sent in our petition we have lost two of our members. Helen
Webb moved to Poca City and Helene Brasted, a charter member of X i ,
has gone to Fort Worth where she will teach in Texas Christian University.
We are sorry to lose her, but are very proud just the same. Pauline
Edwards, our president, threatens to leave us for Montana. We hope she
will find friends among our Alpha Phi sisters. Ruth Black, our vice
president, can very ably carry on her work. I n spite of this shrinkage in
numbers we have a source of supply from which to draw. Six X i alumnae
in Oklahoma City and Norman have expressed their desire to join us and
Mrs. Emenheiser of Nu Kappa has already met with us.
