TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 111

Secretary, Virginia Allen
Treasurer, Ella Butler.
We decided to adopt a French orphan, and to assist the local Red
Cross chapter as much as possible. We have not done as much as we
would like to do, as we are all busy people. Clara Cleland, Laura
Yates, and Nan Craddock are busy home-makers. Ella Butler,
Virginia Allen, and Virginia Strother are school teachers. Elizabeth
Payne and Susie Mann Gannaway spent five weeks at their respective
homes in Texarkana just before Christmas. Clara Smith teaches
in Covington, Virginia. Frances Allen has had typhoid fever a l l the
f a l l , but will soon be an active worker again.

Christmas, we enjoyed fixing baskets and stockings f o r a family
of eight—a widow and seven children. Each of us took one child
to provide for, and all of us clubbed in to buy coal and provisions.
Christmas Eve several of us carried the provisions; it took two auto
trips to take all the things.

At our December meeting we were glad to have present, Fannie
Butterfield, K '17, who was visiting at the college at that time. Anna
Taylor represents the active chapter at our meetings.

Elizabeth Sale and Mary Bine Frith also attended the last meeting.
Of the ten national sororities at Randolph Macon, Chi Omega and
Alpha Omicron Pi are the only sororities that have alumnae chapters
in Lynchburg. We are hoping to do big things f o r Alpha Omicron
Pi.
