Stein) thence to Portland and Seattle back over the Canadian Pacific and

home. Mrs. Giddings went with her. Mate will be at Wesleyan Uni-

Pido are delighted at the prospect of seeing so much of each other.

A goodly number of the 'old girls' came back for convention, f o r a few
days of it, at least. Don't any of you be offended at being included in
this category, any one is eligible after six months' possession of a
diploma. Marion Barclay, Catherine Tiftt, Margaret Wilson, M i n Hanson,
Mildred Haugland Claggett, Marion Mann Falkenhagen, Gertrude Falken-
hagen Bonde, Irene Buckley Sieben, Alice Buckley Goodwin, Alice Van
der Hyden Damon, Zora Robinson, Doris Lohff Schlampp, Lucile Z.
Haertel, Helene Oliver, Betty Bond, Janet Howry, Edith Goldsworthy,
Kathryn and Marie Bremer, Adele Zieglemaier, Orpha Hanstad, Margaret
Boothroyd, Myrtle Abrahamson, lone Jackson, and Martha Wolff Benkert
spent all or part of the time at the Inn.

Helene Oliver set out to see a little of the wide, wide, world between
the middle of May and the last of June. She reports a very enjoyable
trip through the west.

Marian Mann Falkenhagen is enjoying the life of farmer's wife
hugely, and rural life certainly suits her for she is getting downright
plump. Needless to say it is becoming to her. Coop's farm is just out-
side Montevideo so she has Alpha O neighbours, Gertrude Bonde, Winifred
Eliason, Mildred Claggett, and we hear rumors that another is to be added
to the group soon. Almost enough for an alumnae chapter.

Convention came just in time for Doris Schlampp. Edward, Junior,
came down with the measles shortly afterwards.

A f t e r convention, Adele Zieglemaier went east, visiting Washington,
Baltimore and New York.

Edith Goldsworthy spent the week immediately following convention
at Mille Lacs, Minnesota. Numerous week ends since have seen Edith
heading f o r the Mille Lacs bus. What's the attraction, Edith?

Myrtle Abrahamson left the day after convention f o r two weeks on
the west coast.

lone Jackson left last week for a month at her home in Allen, Wiscon-
sin. Oh, yes; it's on the map all right, but I admit I never heard of it
before. lone hails from there though and that is some recommendation
for it.

Martha Wolff Benkert spent most of convention week iii bed with ton-
silitis. Frequent long distance telephone calls f r o m friend husband in
Los Angeles and visits from the girls helped pa,ss away the time, though.

. Marian Barclay spent the week before convention with Betty Bond.
The remainder of the summer she spent in Stillwater and in Marble, Minne-
sota. Marian will teach this year ih Aitkin, Minnesota. She and her
mother will have a little apartment there. She plans on getting down to
most of the football games, though.
