TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 139

when she came and just in time for the senior pumpkin parade, the
"calithump," and the party down on the athletic field. A t some
unearthly hour, after everything else was over, we went down to the
Pines and had initiation. Not one of us will ever forget Mrs. Stew-
art, and how proud we were to have her with us! Since her visit
Lynchburg Alumna; has been in existence. After every regular meeting
the Lynchburg News announces the growing importance of Alpha
Omicron Pi alumnae.

Clara Smith, Fannie Butterfield, and Helen Hardy have visited us

paid us a short visit last week.

Annie Moore has just been elected as a delegate to the Student
Volunteer Conference which meets at Northfield, Massachusetts, after

at.

With all good wishes f o r a very happy Christmas. Editor.

ZETA—UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA

The close of another year finds our group busy, and therefore
happy. Since we last wrote to you several important events in our
college life have taken place. For instance, we have acquired a door-
plate, the g i f t of our freshmen. They gave us something else too,
that we shall never forget—the Potter-Barnett circus. There were
tight-rope walkers, clowns, chariot races, and a "December-pole"
dance (the pole was the chandelier). This was the program at our
Christmas party.

There was a heavily loaded tree out i n the sun parlor, where Santa
Claus Gillilan found everything from false teeth and lanterns to
