142 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

plays were under the auspices of the Y. M . C. A., and the Mask and
Dagger Society of the university. The work has been very interesting
and the girls really felt that in a small way they were doing their bit.

We have had a formal faculty dinner and also a faculty reception
this semester. Every November we have a Christmas fair for which
all the girls, active and alumnae, give things. Usually the money goes
to our house fund, but this year we were very proud to turn over some-
what over $ 2 5 0 to National Service. Our girls here were very much
interested i n that drive and individually we gave about $400. A
Liberty Bond, too, is our worthy possession.

We are very proud of Bernice Hubbard, one of our seniors. She
has just made Prytanean, the women's honor society here, and has
been elected women's editor of the Daily Calif omian.

The last Monday before finals, we had formal meeting when
Isabelle Henderson Stewart came to see us on her tour of inspection.
We haven't seen her half as much as we would have liked for you
know she is a Sigma lady. She talked for over an hour, telling us
of all the girls and the different chapters and houses throughout the
country. I wish I could tell you some of the nice things she said
about you, but it would never do to have every Alpha O strutting
around, all conceited and puffed up. But really, we were so glad to
hear about a l l of you and what you are doing; i t made us feel that
we are truly a part of a great national union. We celebrated Foun-
ders' Day on the ninth of December, this year. We were so fortunate
in having dear Mrs. Perry with us to tell us all about the first Alpha
O's, and their many sacrifices and struggles.

Next semester promises to be a happy one for Sigma. We expect
to have twenty-seven living in the house. We are not quite sure what
is to be done with a l l of us, but we must fit i n somewhere; it will
surely be a merry household! College opens again on the fourteenth
of January and we w i l l have a few rushing parties during the first
week. I hope by the time you hear from us again, we can report
and tell you all about some new little Alpha Omicron Pi's.

I t is now two days before Christmas and we're hoping it will be a
merry one for everyone. Of course, this w i l l look funny when read
in February, but at least it w i l l bring back pleasant recollections.
Here's for success and happiness i n the New Year!

Love to you all from Sigma.
