.RUTBIE GARST

Orange Bow/ Queen

Ruthie Garst Reigns Regally Over

Orange Bowl Festivities

RUTHIE GARST, · n '53 , blonde "package of personality" from Florida State university, was chosen by

five judges from finalists selected from an original field of 100 candidates to be Miami's 1952 Orange Bowl Queen and reign with graciousness and charm over the week long Orange Bowl Festival.

Winning honors is nothing new for Ruthie, popular 19 year old junior at Florida State. She was chosen "Miss Tallahassee" last spring and during the summer was voted "Miss Southern Belle" at Daytona Beach and was runner up in the "Miss Dixie" contest. She also is a former "Campus Cutie" at FSU and was a member of the Homecoming Queen's court. This was not her first appearance in the Orange Bowl, for she was the "Statue of Liberty" in the half time show when FSU played the University of Miami this fall.

She was officially presented in her royal role for the first time at the Orange Bowl Kickoff luncheon Dec. 27 in the Bayfront Park auditorium, where 1400 persons revelled in the heady mixture of food, fun, football chatter, and beauty. There were jokes by Comedian Joe E. Brown, music by a 100 piece Marine b'and, and a rapid succession of celebrities of the sports and entertainment worlds coming to the platform.

The most colorful part of the varied luncheon program came last-the formal debut of the festival's royalty. Up the aisle came Queen Ruthie Garst, spectacularly gowned in a white hoop-skirted gown and wearing a sparkling tiara on her blonde hair. She walked arm in arm with Stuart W . Patton; committee president, and was followed by her four princesses, each accompanied by a civic leader.

At the Orange Bowl Regatta at Haulover Beach Dec. 30 Ruthie presented the Queen's Cup to the winner. She and her princesses were guests of honor one day at the Tropical Park races.

Queen Ruthie and her court rode on the lavish float which climaxed the Orange Bowl Jamboree, held on Miami's warmest New Year's Eve in nineteen years . For an hour and a half the parade rolled past a crowd estimated

WINTER 1951

at half a million persons, the largest crowd ever assembled in Miami according to the police. The spectacle had all the pageantry that Miamians have become used to--forty floats, two dozen bands, 724 pretty girls, marching men, and giant balloons.

"Blossomtiine on New Year's Day" was the theme of the 1952 half time extravaganza at the Orange Bowl football classic, at which Georgia Tech nosed out Baylor 17 to 14.

A huge fruit bowl moved out to the center of the field between halves. Band after band, one corps of majorettes after another, dancers, baton twirlers, cadets, cavalettes and ,glee clubs took the field. Some played, others danced, some leaped high in acrobatic display while still others ran to the central float and came forth drawing long flower-festooned streamers which they carried to the corners and ends of the field until the whole area was a riot of flowers and color.

From the fruit bowl in the center a flower with closed petals began to rise. Everybody in the stadium who had ever seen an Orange Bowl game in recent years knew what was going to happen next-and in this they weren't surprised.

The petals fell back and Queen Ruthie Garst stood revealed in a white gown before the record crowd of 65,83 7.

By winning the crown Ruthie receives a $500 scholarship in the school of her choice and an elaborate wardrobe, including a beautiful white evening gown from Paris, in addition to the privilege of presiding over the festivities.

A Sigma Kappa coffee was given in her honor Dec. 29 at the home of Dr. and Mrs. James Anderson (Eunice Parker, U) by the Miami alumnre chapter. Actives home from college for the holidays were special guests.

College Sigma Kappas met at the Miamian restaurant for luncheon together following the coffee.

The Miami Herald of Dec. 9 gave this "introduction" to the new Queen, whose choice had just been announced:

Orange Bowl Queen Ruthie Garst is just as popular with the girls as she is with the boys who keep the telephone ringing con-

3

tinually at the Sigma Kappa house. Her natural, unaffected manner, her sweet

smile and ability to talk to anyone on any subject have won her scores of friends since she first came to FSU las t February as a transfer from Maryviile college, Maryv ille, Tenn.

Ruthi e is one of those lucky people who can budget her time so that she has plenty of time for study and plenty of time for dates. She manages to maintain a B average in her class work (Ruthie's a secretarial science major) and still accept a movie or dinner date every night of the ·week.

She has no "steady". " I haven' t even narrowed my dating down to just a few yet" she confides in her soft spoken drawl. The more fr iends she makes-male or female-the better she likes it.

She loves her work with the FSU Circus best of all her athleti c activ iti es and she's looking forward to the circus road trips in the spring. "Girl on the Flying Trapeze" is

4

her unoffi cial FSU circus title . Ruthie is the Sigma Kappa catcher at FSU,

plays on the volleyball team and is trying out for basketball . She also plays tennis, is "wild" about swimming, and does a triple tap dance routine. Weekends at her home in Bradenton, Fla. she spends her time riding and looking after her colt "Sig."

She estimated that she went to bat 75 times ·in the FSU sorority soft ball league and "was put out only once-on a fly to the outfield. " That would give athletically inclined Ruthie 7 4 hits out of 7 5 times at bat or a fantastic .987 batting average'

Ruthie lives at the Sigma Kappa house in Tallahassee. " I love it because there's always so much going on" she says. A bridge fiend, she is always working up a game.

Like most young people today, Ruthie' s ambition is to travel abroad after college. She hopes to find a job in foreign service, although the only language she's stuoied in college is German.

Our train will be waiting for us at Greeley, and during the even ing we will travel into Wyoming ; through Cheyenne, Capital of the State; cross Sherman Hill, possessing an elevation of 8,013 feet and having the honor of being the highest point on the Union Pacific; on into Utah pass, Devil's Slide, two parallel lines of limestone, 20 feet apart rising to a height of 40 feet above the mountainside ; through Weber Canyon and the Dev il 's Gate, fl anked by rugged rock walls and towering peaks.

Shortly thereafter, we leave this rock formation and enter upon a broad fertile valley dotted with many farms and catch our fi rst glimpse of Ogden, the gateway to Northern California. Traveling from Ogden to Salt Lake City, on the eastern edge of the Valley of the Great Salt Lake, the Wasatch Mountains appear and Salt Lake City, Utah, home of the Mormon Church.

In Salt Lake City, delegates from Butte, Helena, Missoula, Boise, Seattle, Portland, Spokane and other Pacific Northwest points may avail themselves of this advance gettogether with friends already aboard, and enjoy the exciting day at Salt Lake City, by planning to meet the special arriving at 9:00 A.M. , July 5. Many features resembling the Holy Land are to be found in this sector, chiefly, a Dead Sea, a River Jordan, and a Lake of Galilee.

Gray Line Motor coaches will take us to the University of Utah for breakfast after which a sight-seeing tour of this magic city

will be enjoyed. Luncheon will be served at the Universi ty of Utah and the afternoon will be free until we board the train at 5:30 P.M.

The evening will find us boarding our special departing for California. En route, the tempting great salt lake is seen once again, as are the peaks of the Wasatch Range. W e will glide through Lund, Utah, gateway to the Southern Utah-Arizona National Parks, namely, Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, Kaibab N ational Forest, and Cedar Breaks N ational Monument; Las Vegas, the stop-off point for visitors of Lake Me11de, Hoover Dam, and Death Valley, and then- Cali fornia.

Orange groves, date palms, and mountain peaks meet our eyes as we enter this Vacation Wonderland . San Bernardino, Riverside, together with many other California towns are soon behind us, and all too soon-East Los Angeles, where awa iting buses transport us to the Hotel Huntington, our convention headquarters.

So, plan now to be with our happy group as it winds its way through the glorious west to Pasadena-the site of our 1952 convention.

Sigmas who might be inte1·ested in a two weeks' trip to Mexico after convention are asked to write to Matgaret Davis, AE, 904 Hinman ave., Evanston, Ill . Pethaps the1·e will be enough "foreign minded" Sigmas to plan and organize a special tour, and they should get together by mail early enough to make the an·angements.

WINTER 1951 9

T. HE Huntington Hotel in Pasadena,

site for 1952 California convention, is tops when it comes to locale, at

tractions and services. The Huntington is a "resort" hotel which

is different from a commercial hotel in that its facilities and services are designed for the holiday and vacation minded. That is why The Huntington is situated in its own 29¥2 acres of beautiful gardens right in the fashionable Oak Knoll residential area of Pasadena.

Naturally, while we are at The Huntington on July 6-11 all delegates who are staying in the Hotel are expected to use its facilities. The delightful swimming pool is yours to use as much as you like- between sessions, of course-as are the tennis courts and the badminton court. There is a nice little pitch and putt course in the horseshoe gardens.

The Huntington is favorably known the world over. The "bungalows" that are clustered around the main building offer the epitome of California living. Some of these bungalows have over 15 rooms! The dining room is unusually attractive overlooking, on one side, the garden swimming pool, and, on the other a lovely patio. The huge crystal chandeliers that are a feature of this room have quite a story. They are of the same design- same material and workmanship-and

The Huntington

Will MaJke U§

Right Welcome

made in the same factory as similar chandeliers for the palaces of Ludwig, The Mad King of Bavaria.

You'll see the unusual decor in the grand ballroom and you should particularly note the collection of beautiful ships' models in the Ship Room. We'll also be meeting in The Garden Room, The Mirror Room-each most attractive in its own way.

Almost Number One on your "look parade" should be the famous picture bridge. This "all California" bridge is built of massive redwood and overlooks · the swimming pool and the Oriental Gardens. It is a covered bridge and overhead, as one crosses, one sees forty-two lovely murals, depicting California scenes and history with · descriptive verses.

The site of The Huntington was as coveted in the days of early California as it is today. Because of its commanding position it figured in many a battle in Spanish days and not infrequently gardeners have . dug up an old cannon ball-crude but no doubt effective in that long ago pre-atom bomb era. The Huntington-named after the great Californian and railroad builder is under the control and management of Stephen W. Royce.

It is a wonderful place for a conventionand we'll all have a wonderful time there.

C laura Lee Edgar

Pioneers with

Guidance Clinic

M OTION pictures, fiction and histories teem with accounts of pioneer women, sunbonneted and

Mother Hubbard-clad, in the 1800's. The 1900's also have their pioneer women,

one of whom is Clara Lee Edgar, '44, psychologist and executive secretary of the Child Guidance section of the San Joaquin Valley, Calif., Children's Hospital and Guidance Clinic, to which she has devoted nearly five years.

Now located in a building furnished by the Fresno State College, the clinic plans to move into new quarters as soon as the new Valley Children's Hospital and Guidance Clinic is completed.

Clara first became interested in clinical services to exceptional children while enrolled as a student in Rhode Island State's Child Development and Family Relations Course. Following receipt of a B.S. in 1944, she studied in the field of guidance at the University of Chicago, receiving her M.A. in Education, Field of Guidance. While in Chicago Clara was employed in · the Orthogenic School, a University-of-Chicago-maintained school for emotionally disturbed children. An interneship in clinical psychology at the Institute for Juvenile Research in Chicago, an agency of the State of Illinois for clinical treatment of children, preceding six months additional training while parttime employee at the Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, brought Clara to February, '47, and a California trip during which i.n April she discovered that some social agencies in Fresno were about to set up a child guidance clinic.

WINTER 1951

Clcn·a Lee Edgar, Phi '44, psychologist and execu· tive secretary of the Valley Children's H ospital and Guidance Clinic, shown testin!( a student, one of the techniques of the testing p1·ogram in use at the Clinic, only one in a hundred mile radius itz the San ] oaquin Valley .

And that is how in May, '47, Clara Lee Edgar found herself, with the aid of two local volunteer psychiatrists, starting a clinic at the San Joaquin Valley county hospital, under the joint sponsorship of the Fresno chapter of the Am.erican Red Cross, the County of Fresno, the Fresno City schools, and Fresno State college. Moved after a few months, because of a need for more room, to Fresno State College quarters, the Clinic from May, '47 to January, '50 waged a continual battle for funds to keep the agency going.

In the summer of 1949 the Clinic merged with the newly formed Valley Children's Hospital, and by June, '51, funds were available to hire a social worker and begin construction of the hospital and separate clinic buildings into which the Clinic hopes to move by June, '52.

Clinical services of the Fresno Child Guidance Clinic, the only agency of its kind in a hundred mile radius in the San Joaquin Valley, are limited to the treatment of emotionally disturbed children and brief diagnostic studies. Because the services of several consulting psychologists have been available, more patients have been accepted for diagnostic study than for treatment. Most cases referred to the clinic represent severe home, school and community problems.

Cases accepted for treatment have been those in which emotional maladjustment is

11

the most important consideration, and psychotherapy has been the chief method employed. In other words, the children work out their private troubles through play and consultation . Statistics-wise 498 cases were referred to the center from its opening May 1, 1947, to Nov. 10, 1950.

What psychologists call primary behavior disorders accounted for 156 of the cases referred to the clinic; that is, excess ive nervousness, disorderly habits, or misconduct sufficient to cause worry. Next largest group included 147 children in whom mental deficiency was the primary cause of trouble. Patients ranged in age from 1 to 20 years .

As the foregoing would indicate, the Clinic's program is varied: di agnostic testing for the Welfare D ept., the Juvenile Courts, the schools; collaborat ive treatment of parents and children who are emotionally disturbed; speaking in small communities ; consultation services to doctors, workers from other agencies, teachers and parents, as well as the numerous activities concerned with trying to develop a sound financial basis.

"This," to quote Clara, "has been in turn challenging, rewarding, discouraging, interest ing, and more than a full time job!

"When it became evident this summer that things were indeed looking up, I took time off for the fir~t time in four years fo r addi tional study and attended four weeks of intensified training in projective techniques (Rorschach and other tests). The Hospital very kindly set aside some money for this purpose. At present it looks as though we shall have a new clin ic, the basic 'team' of staff with which to run it, and about a $30,000 budget. Additional social workers are to be added in time and funds are avai lable for research. "

----------------- --- ---- -------------------- ------- ---------------- ----- -----

Regarding her personal life, Clara tells us, " I live quietly in a small apartment with two cats named Elizabeth and Aersie. My favorite summer pastime is driving to the mountains, Yosemite, Sequoia, and the Kings Canyon National Parks. My canoe goes along wherever there is water. Music runs a strong second choice. Before professional activities claimed most of my time, I played in the College Symphony, second fiddle. I am not definitely any kind of fiddle player, and did not practice, so often the conductor would murmur in my direction, 'It takes brains to play a violin, you know.' Records and local concerts now take the orchestra's place! "

San Joaquin Alumna? Help Clara has enjoyed the San Joaquin Sigma

Kappa alumn~ since discovering and joining the group a summer ago. They are currently interested in sponsoring a project to aid the Hosp ital and Clinic. They trimmed a Christmas tree for the waiting room and filled stockings for about sixty children who came in around Christmas.

"Of course it thrills me to have all my own sorority sisters pulling for the clinic," Clara confesses, and adds that for three years the Chi Omegas have been providing children's magazines for the waiting room.

As a Sigma Kappa at Rhode Island State, which she attended her last two years of college, Clara's chief contribution to the chapter was to write an occasional song with roommate,: Janet Beauregard (now McLaughlin) . Some she says were ridiculous, but one the chapter sang at a song contest and to Phi 's surprise and delight, won! That song was "Sigma's Together," still used at Phi and taught as one of the required songs fo r pledges each year.

For Poetry aumd Police Work the

H artman Sisters Win Plaudits

T HE Hartman sisters have had their share of publicity this year.

The South Bend, Ind. Tribune ran a series of five articles on South Bend's only police woman, Elnora H artman, T. Elnora's many activities were described and her pictures taken at her work accompanied each article .• This was the beginning of many requests for Elnora to appear as guest speaker at many South Bend civ ic organizations.

Marcella H artman, T, has had honors this year also. She is the author of the poem titled "Admonition" which exhorts those unharmed by the war to be grateful for the joys of life of which so many were deprived. A new orchestra composition by Carl Van Buskirk, of the Indiana University school of music, Bloomington, has been composed as a setting for the poem. It was performed at the university in January by the university's g lee club and orchestra . It is the first poem to be used by Prof. Van Busk irk for an original composition. M arcella attended the performance as a guest of the university.

Here are interesting excerpts from the series of articles about Elnora Hartman which were written by Pearl E. Hafstrom for the South Bend Tt"ibtm e.

"Ten years ago a school teacher, who had majored in music left the teaching profession and turned policewoman. She was graduated from Indiana university, taught in St. Joseph county schools from 1933 to 1936, later taught music in several Michigan schools, and summers took g raduate stud ies in science and education at Northwestern university.

" 'To deal with individuals who are not able to get along successfully in normal society' was Miss Hartman's conception of the purpose of the police position w.hich she was seeking. And it won her the JOb over fifty other applicants.

"You'd never guess to look at Miss Hartman, that she is a policewoman. There is nothing of the stern matron about her; no mannishness in attire, no harshness in voice or manner. She has a quiet way, a soft voice, a ready smile, and a qui ck sense of humor. She is smartly feminine in appearance with a Aair for modish clothes and becoming hats.

WINTER 1951

"But inside these purses-that's a different story. There she has little room for the array of feminine trinkets usually found in a woman's purse. Instead she carries a ring of keys as big as your fist ; the gold-plated badge of her office in a leather folder ; a notebook and pencil ; a packet of case cards, and most important of all , a .25 caliber pistol, which she knows how to use.

" 'I carry it strictly for self protection,' she says. 'I have not yet used it in an arrest.' She attends every monthly pistol practice of the police department and her average in marksmanship is right up with the high average of the .men.

" 'Yes, I'm supposed to have on the tip of my tongue all the solutions to domestic troubles, to be able to hand out magic advice on everything from love to finance. I'm supposed to be able to wave a magic wand and put my finger immediately on a missing gi rl who left home days or weeks before, without clews as to her plans . . And when we find her I am supposed to wave another wand and transform her whole att itude.'

"Her day's routine, if indeed her job could ever be described that way, is wound about searching for missing pe rsons, investigating cases of child neglect or neglect of the aged, of apprehending persons who molest women or children, looking into many cases of neglect of the home.

"The only 'routine' she has is in the 1natter of working hours . She goes on duty in the early afternoon and works through the evening as a member of the police department's plain clothes detective squad.

" 'The scope of my job is made plenty broad when you merely say that my beat covers all cases of offense against women, . children, and the home, Miss Hartman sums it up. Her work is closely allied with the work of the juvenile probation, family welfare and other social service organizations. She also investigates many cases of shop lifting and has even been called upon a few times for the gruesome and unhappy duty of identifying dead bodies ."

university when it opened in 1933, is herself an honor graduate of Indiana university, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She received an MA degree in French from Northwestern university, and did subsequent language study at the University of Wisconsin and Middlebury French School. She has taught in high schools at Oak Park, Ill. and Chicago Heights, Ill. and during World War II was employed by the Studebaker Export Division.

While education has been her vocation, writing (with particular emphasis on verse) has been her avocation. She has gained recognition as an accomplished reader of her own verse by appearing before dozens of clubs, classes and organizations in the middle West. Her verses have been widely published.

She confesses that she has two conflicting aspirations, which she believes may lead to schizophrenia: one is to write a lyric of such beauty that it will have appeal for listeners of all ages, and the other is to write a piece of humorous verse so funny that it will amuse and be quoted by all who read it. She believes that her best effort to date in the latter field has been a quatrain published more than a decade ago in Sc1'ihne1'' s:

was held for college members and alumna: at the Castleton hotel in New Castle, Pa., Toastmistress at the dinner was Pauline Christo;. The after dinner program, with speakers who were charter members of Alpha Sigma, was: "The Background"-Rebecca Gibson Wolfe ; "The Growth"- Margaret Fraser Vogan ; "The Fruition"-Helen Winters Greer. Other charter members present who saw their local Sigma Phi Delta receive recognition from Sigma Kappa in 1926 were, Mary Forest Barnes, Katherine King Maxwell, Mabel Wallace Shadle and Janet Elias Kirchenbower. We were all intrigued as we listened to them tell of college and sorority conditions in those days. Some of the charter members exhibited their Sigma Phi Delta pins which they had designed themselves. .

Our guest of honor for this affair, Emma E. Kinne of Pittsburgh, former grand secretary and grand historian who was help-

NPC Meet§ and Work§ for High Standard§ for AXX Greek§

By AMY BuRNHAM ONKEN, Grand President and NPC Delegate of Pi Beta Phi

W ITH the commemoration of the 175th anniversary of Phi Beta Kappa by Interfraternity Research

and Advisory Council designated as a "Thanksgiving for Freedom" celebration, each of .the associated national Panhellenics must inevitably have found, as did National Panhellenic Conference, that its discussions and its decisions, as never before, were marked by a deep consciousness of the importance of the college fraternity as an integral, not an isolated, part of the American way of life and of its responsibility for proving itself an effective weapon against the forces which would destroy the basic freedoms of American democracy and for those which would preserve them.

National Panhellenic Conference, at its 32nd Biennial Meeting, held in Williamsburg, Va., Nov. 27 to Dec. 1, '51, left no room for doubt of its determination to work towards the goal set by its Chairman, Mrs. E. Granville Crabtree, Kappa Kappa Gamma, when in opening the convention she called upon it fo "hold fast to its responsibility and to implement it more effectively."

Following the admission to full membership of the eleven national fraternities which had held associate membership for four years, National Panhellenic Conference met with the longest list of full member fraternities-thirty-one-and the greatest number of fraternity officers present-one hundred and fifty-five-in its history.

The good fellowship of the conference again gave proof of the friendships between fraternity officers which inevitably lead to understanding and mutual helpfulness between fraternities.

The special social events under this Committee's direction were a tea at The Inn, honoring the eleven new full member fraternities; a dinner at the Lodge at which Lloyd Cochran, president of Alpha Sigma Phi, spoke inspiringly of the value and the service of fraternities; and a formal dinner at The Inn with Miss Margaret Banister,

WINTER 1951

of the Office of Public Information, Department of Defense, emphasizing the part which fraternity members as individual citizens must play in the defense of America.

NPC was highly privileged to have as speakers at its program devoted to IRAC, Judge William Bayes, Phi Delta Theta, past president of NIC; Dr. Clyde Johnson, Phi Kappa Sigma, incoming editor of the IRAC bulletin ; L. G. Balfour, Sigma Chi, past president of NIC, and president of IRAC; and C. Robert Yeager, Pi Kappa Alpha, treasurer of IRAC. Mr. Yeager presented the report of the Foundation Committee of NIC with its recommendations for a Public Relations Program for The Fraternity System, to be supported by National Interfraternity Conference, Professional Panhellenic Association, Professional Interfraternity Conference, and National Panhellenic Conference.

Since NPC later moved to "accept as a privilege its opportunity to have a part ... in the intensive effort towards excellent public relations through the National Interfraternity Foundation," as outlined by the Foundation Committee, this plan should perhaps be briefly outlined here. The Foundation Committee recommended two ways in which all fraternity members "can help preserve the rich experience of fraternity living" as they have known it: by "helping raise the necessary money to improve fraternity scholarship, conduct, attitudes, and public acceptance"; and by taking "an active interest" in making their own fraternities better "physically, morally, intellectually, and socially."

Fraternities as such will be asked only to give space three times a year in their magazines to the public relations program and to the planned "National Interfraternity Week" which would be celebrated annually during late April or early May; each member of a fraternity will be asked to make a one dollar contribution, during each Interfraternity Week, to the Interfraternity Foundation; and Panhellenic and fraternity groups will be

taries expressed their belief that this evaluation of big national conventions "is a practical recognition that the inflationary trends of today necessitate holding the line" financially.

The regular program of NPC "again reflected the constructive work of offi-cers and committees" as

each standing committee gave a review of its special field and work, discussed needs and trends, and recommended policies for the future. Of understandably special importance were the reports of the surveys of

urged to give, during that week, service to some campus, civic, or national good citizenship project.

Instead of the usual-and usually hilarious -skit presented by the Editors, NPC heard this year an Editors' panel on "Our Magazines," with discussions on the proper presentation of material in these fraternity publications, on the ways of utilizing magazines to the fullest extent, and on the value of the magazines from a public relations standpoint.

The Executive Secretaries discussed fraternity conventions and gave data to show why fraternities are being forced to give serious consideration to the idea of holding national conventions less often than biennially. The Executive Secretaries spoke on sources of income for conventions, on choice of sites, on frequency, and on costs. The statistical report of one fraternity on its convention costs is undoubtedly typical and it showed that in nine years the over-all expense of its convention had increased 222%, with hotel rates showing an increase of 300%; travel, 209%; and tipping, 628 %!

Since, according to the Executive Secretaries, no more than one out of every hundred fraternity members normally attends a national convention, it is not to be wondered at that fraternities are weighing the relative value of national conventions and of increased chapter inspections and regional workshops ; that .some ~raternities are considering quadrenmal national conventions only, with biennial chapter workshops ; and that some are considering even a six-year interim between national conventions. The Executive Secre-

Committees on College and City Panhellenics. These should be carefully studied when the printed reports are available.

Among the decisions of NPC which have special significance are those embodied in the following resolutions:

"Believing that over-all student government associations can condition students to collectivism and its authoritarian spirit, and in recognition of the purposes and needs of women student groups, National Panhellenic Conference urges that all women's activity groups and all women's social groups arrange, through the office of Dean of Women such regulations as best serve their purposes and the educational functions of colleges and universities, and that these resolutions be sent to all Deans of Women, to Presidents of Colleges and Universities, and to Regents of colleges and universities.

Whereas, NPC recognizes the value of women's student organizations as separate entities on the campus and as an essential part of student life, Be it resolved, That this Conference affirm the necessity of making a concerted effort to strengthen the positions of these organizations.

Whereas a fraternity officer in visiting a campus may discover a situation demanding immediate at· tention or action, Be is resolved, That NPC formulate procedures to be followed for reporting and taking action.

Resolved, That the 1951 NPC reaffirm its belief that a short, open rushing season and early pledging best serve the college community.

Resolved, That the NPC continue to emphasize the importance of (a). Simplifying rushing rules and procedures, and (b). Keeping to a minimum the expenses of rushing, social affairs, and campus activities.

Resolved, That the membership of affiliated City Panhellenics be limited to alumnre members of active and associate member groups of National Panhellenic Conference, with the provision that the action is not retroactive.

Resolved, That each NPC delegate urge her own fraternity to cooperate in disseminating authentic


and pertinent Panhellenic information to their respective delegates, in City Panhellenics, recognizing that the varied and substantial activities of such groups witness well for Fraternity.

Resolved, That the N ational Panhellenic Conference reaffirm its position of Nov. 13, '47, that the 'National Panhellenic Conference use its influence to assure the position of qualified women in administrative and policy making personnel positions on campuses of American universities.'

EDITORS OF NPC MAGAZINES Resolved, That National

Panhellenic Conference reaffirm the part of the 1949 agreement which reads 'that no questionnaires or requests, oral or written, will be answered during the coming biennium until such time as these questionnaires or requests have been reviewed by the NPC Committee on Rdearch and

Resolved, That NPC, in order to broaden its services to college Panhellenics, empower the members of the Executive Committee of National Panhellenic Conference, the Chairman of the College Panhellenics Committee, and the NPC College Panhellenics representative of the region involved, to send an official visitor to a campus when necessary, the expense incurred to be defrayed equally -by the national member groups having chapters on the campus to be visited, upon advance approval by National Presidents .of such chapters."

The concluding event for NPC and for IRAC was the huge banquet held at the Hotel Chamberlin, Old Point Comfort, presided over by Judge Frank H. Myer, Kappa Alpha, past NIC Chairman. The address was given by Dr. Arthur Sherwood Flemming, president of Ohio Wesleyan University and Chairman, Manpower Policy Commission.

The 1951 NPC brought a renewed appreciation for the privilege of fraternity membership and interfraternity fellowship and a resulting deepened determination to make the college fraternity an increasingly recognized factor in the forming of good character and in the building of good citizens, which must mean that the incoming Executive Committee-Mrs. W. Harold Hutchinson, Alpha Phi, Chairman; Mavis Mann, Delta Gamma, Secretary; and Mrs. George M. Simonson, Gamma Phi Beta, Treasurer-is assured of cooperation.

WINTER 1951

T WENTY-FOUR of the thirty-one Panhellenic editors met for the fiveday National Panhellenic Conference

held in Williamsburg, Va., Nov. 27 through Dec. 1. Under the chairmanship of Marian Wiley Keys, editor of the Alpha Phi Quarterly, the sorority jo1,1rnalists compared notes on the problems of Panhellenic magazines from costs to chapter letters.

Plans were also made to cooperate with the Citizenship Committee of National Panhellenic in presenting special material.

At an "Editors' Hour," given at one of the general sessions of the Conference, the following speakers represented the editors: Frances Warren Baker, Sigma Kappa TRIANGLE, mistress of ceremonies ; Kim Rose, T1•iangle of Sigma Sigma Sigma, who spoke on the "Purposes of Our Magazines"; Julia Fuqua Ober, formerly editor of the Angelos of Kappa Delta (and now Kappa Delta's national president), on "An Editor Looks at Her Past," and Dorothy Hummel Marshall, director of publications, Alpha Phi, on "How Do Fraternity Magazines Further a Public Relations Program?"

The 1951 session closed with the election of Ann Hall, editor of the Lyre of Alpha Chi Omega, chairman for the next biennium, and Kim Rose, Tri-Sigma T riangle, secretarytreasurer. Frances Baker received a pewter mug to mark her completion of 25 years as an N .P.C. editor.

Betty Spencer Merman Brings Us Up to Date on uHer Days11

LT'S see now-where did I leave off in the last TRIANGLE accounting of an 'ex Sigma Kappa Traveling Secre

tary? That really did start me moving, didn' t it? The wanderlust bit so hard that I joined up with the Marine Corps and succeeded in getting to four stations in my two year stint as a Lieutenant in the Woman Reserves. But my traveling had only begun-for ever since that time I've been on the go with my Marine husband.

So- l think the last time I said hello in the TRIANGLE we were living in Yokosuka, Japan after a most pleasant tour of duty in the Islands, at Ewa, T .H. Next we came to Washington and during the year we spent there I helped Ruth Little Lawson get the Northern Virginia Alumnre group going. Alas, just as it got started we moved again - this time to Camp Lejeune, N .C. for a back-to-school session. From there we came to this huge Marine Corps Supply Depot smack dab in the middle of the Mojave Desert at Barstow, Calif. And by now we're confirmed desert rats-we even like our 115 degree summer heat!

W e live in rambling rancho-like quarters

on one of the three areas which comprise the Depot. Inside our patio we have grass, trees and flowers-outside, desert and mountains. Besides the Marine in the family and the 'ex Marine, we have almost-seven Anne, who aspires to be both Sigma Kappa and Marine. Completing our group are two energetic pups named Nip and Tuck, whose remote and recent ancestors came from Guam, the poi dogs of the Islands and the haughty Chow family of China. They're indescribable.

Although, perhaps because this is a small station, we have almost too many activities to keep us busy, my major effort for the year, aside from our Sigma Kappa American Heritage program, is being· President of the Officers' Wives club, which numbers from eighty to a hundred wives.

It's good to be back in Sigma activity once again-and I really have my fingers crossed that I'll be able to get to Convention next June. We live not much more than a hundred miles from Pasadena-yet that's just the time we might be moving on. But I'll keep hoping that I can get there THIS time. Shall I see you all then?

industry and inventiveness of the Germans, the strength and courage of the Scandinavians, the music and artistry of the Italians -all of whom comprise the great melting pot that became our America?

Is it the foresight of those great statesmen who wrote the Constitution of the United States and who set down for us the freedoms that were to be and still are ours-who gave· us the instruments to keep pace with the changing times by making it possible to amend that same Constitution to fit any need ?

Is it in our right to vote as we please, to work as we please, live where and how we please? But there is no need to go on, each one of us can add many more suggestions.

And why has this been chosen as the theme of Sigma Kappa's project for this year? With the firm conviction and realization that the things we as Americans possess are the most valuable in the world, we have then provided ourselves with an impenetrable shield which no subversive force will be able to pierce.

The menace today from communism or any other subversive group is very real. Its twisted and deceptive ideas may find a fertile field on many a college campus, in many a community. As an organization, Sigma Kappa can combat this menace by making us all more cognizant of our own blessings-the things we possess in our American Heritage - things which such communistic forces can never equal.

As outlined to the chapters in various communications, this proj ect is divided into two parts. The first is an essay contest for college

members with prizes of $150, $100 and $50 to be awarded for the best essays on any phase of the subject "Our American Heritage."

Three of our distinguished Sigma educators have agreed to serve as judges in the contest. They are Dean Irma Voight, 0, Athens, Ohio; Dean Flora Rawls, AP, Memphis, Tenn.; and Dr. Essie White Cohn, I , Denver, Colo. The essay contest closes April 1, '52 and the prizes will be awarded at the Sigma Kappa Convention in June, '52.

The second part of the project is a program to be presented by each college and alumnre chapter at one meeting during the year. We suggested February as being an appropriate time as this might be deemed our "Patriotic Month." A complete meeting program is being set up by Grace Heacock and will be sent out .in its entirety to all chapters for their use.

We suggest that there might be intrachapter contests for essays, or that some of the alumnre chapters may wish to help any of the college chapters by offering prizes for such contests. Perhaps a meeting program can be worked up as a community project for your group-the more people we can reach with our program the stronger our shield will become. We are endeavoring to reach out into all sorts of groups hoping to bring to all of them a better realization of the privileges we all enjoy in our "American Heritage."

Keep the essays coming! The Judges and your Committee are anxious for many entries. And what a thrill to be awarded your prize at Convention ! We hope all prize winners will be able to be there. Won't YOU help to make Sigma's 195 1-52 project one of the most successful we have ever undertaken?

Did you see the fine pictures and article about the Maine Sea Coast Mission-"The Christmas Boat is Coming"-in the Sunday, Dec. 23, issue of Parade? The next TRIANGLE will carry a reprint of this spread canied in Parade, magazine supplement to many Sunday newspapers.


By TERTIUS vAN DYKE

Dean of Hartford Theological Seminary and President of Mailze Sea Coast Missionary Society. His father, Henry Van D yke was also a presrdent of the Maine Sea Coast Mission. This article appeared in "The Presbyterian Tribune."

T HE clammy fog lifted a little as the Sunbeam under the skilful hand of her captain nosed her way into quiet water.

The, engines reversed, and she lay still near the seaweed covered rocks. The crane lifted the dinghy out of its nest and set it on the slowly heaving tide, and the Superintendent, inviting me to join him, went overside and took up the oars. Only the wash of the waves along the rocks, the continuous cries of the gulls, the far-off drum of the lobster boat, and the rattle of our oar-locks penetrated the lonely silence.

A few moments later and out- of the curling wisps of fog we were alongside an old fisherman pulling lobster traps. The usual brief but friendly salutations in the Maine manner, and then, jerking his head in the direction of the invisible Sunbeam as he pulled on a trap, the old man asked: "She the same as the old Sunbeam inside?" Resting on his oars the Superintendent described the improvements incorporated in the third Sunbeam of the Maine Sea Coast Missionary Society. And then, as we resumed our journey, the old man, never ceasing to haul on his traps, called out as we slipped away in the fog: "Well, anyway, ther's lots of folks is glad to see her anytime."

If you can balance each word and the intonations with which it was spoken, those phrases portray the significance of the Maine Sea Coast Missionary Society and the seventytwo foot diesel-powered, fifty-five ton vessel that serves the coast of Maine from Kittery to Calais, summer and winter. The By-Laws state: "The purpose of the Society is to undertake religious and benevolent work in the neglected communities and among the isolated families along the coast and on the islands of Maine, and to engage in all efforts that are calculated to contribute to the moral and spiritual welfare of the people in question."

Forty-six years ago two brothers, the Rev. A. P. MacDonald, pastor at Seal Harbor, and the Rev. A. M. MacDonald, pastor at Bar Harbor, founded the Mission with the aid

WINTER 1951

and counsel of a little band of enthusiasts and prophets. Only one of that faithful band survives: Thomas Searls of Bar Harbor, who has served as Treasurer and invaluable counsellor of the Mission from its beginning to the present moment.

Tradition tells that the idea for the Mission was born when the two minister brothers stood together on the summit of Mount Cadillac on Mount Desert Island and gazed east over Schoodic Point toward Grand Manan, and westward over Isle au Haut and a host of lesser islands to exclaim : "What a parish that would make!"

So it was done. And first with a little Friendship sloop named the Hope which journeyed fifteen hundred miles the first year under the Rev. A. P. MacDonald's skillful navigation and direction as Superintendent, until the present day with the Rev. N eal Bousfield as Superintendent and a crew of three to run the Sunbeam Ill on her five thousand mile annual journey, and .with a staff of nine workers deployed over islands and coastal communities, the vastly increased service continues. Churches have been built and maintained, Sunday Schools established, schools aided, a vast network of cooperative enterprises launched, the lonely have been visited, the sick and injured have been brought within reach of care and healing. All this has been done on an interdenominational basis.

Many have been the ministers and Church social workers who have given their vacation time to the work. It would be impossible even to indicate the personal services and financial support that has been forthcoming, not only from residents of the islands and coastal communities themselves, but from far-off places.

The Sigma Kappa Sorority has long been a staunch supporter and maintains a definite part in the program. And nothing about the work is more moving than the interest of groups of children who swarm aboard the Sunbeam whenever she comes to an island and who frequently conduct fairs of home-

23

made products and save their pennies for the work.

My own connection with the Mission began in 1912 when Mr. MacDonald laid a directing hand on me between sessions of the theological seminary and with his beaming smile led me aboard the Sunbeam I for a summer cruise and a permanent experience.

I will never forget "Ma" Peasley who has served on the Mission Staff for some forty years. I first met her when she was living on Crowley's Island in a tiny shack with a tall flagpole and the stars and stripes flying above. Whenever I think of the flag, that's what comes to my mind with Ma Peasley busy and laughing beneath it to liberate and bless a little colony of men and women and children. Only last summer I went with her on a preaching mission. Never have I heard the gospel presented to a congregation better than she does it. Her humanity and humor and faith are electrifying. Children and hearty men and women and fragile old folks cluster about her with enthusiasm. And to hear her report to the annual meeting of the Mission at Bar Harbor is not less of an experience.

Christmas Cheer

In early winter the S11nbeam carries a freight of Christmas cheer among the island people and to the coastguardsmen in the lighthouses and life saving stations along the coast. One brilliant December day with a

stiff northwest wind whipping whitecaps off the dark blue waters of Penobscot Bay we watched on the horizon the "Loom," that strange cold-weather phenomenon that makes distant islands look like odd battleships suspended on a narrow strip of crystal sea while far-off waves appear to be a line of black porpoises entering an imaginary inlet. Finally we dropped anchor in the lee of the north end of Eagle Island just below the lighthouse that surmounts its highest point.

The Superintendent and one of the island pastors and I came ashore in the dinghy and climbed the seventy wooden steps that led up the cliff beside fantastic ice cascades. Two small children playing in the snow beside the doorstep were shy at first, but by the time we were all unbundled from our heavy coats and boots and mittens inside the storm door, and were seated in the neat room with their mother, the ice was all thawed.

The Light keeper had gone on an errand to the other end of the island and would be back shortly. Ten or twelve people were still living on the island which had once had a community house, Church and school. Now they were a handful thrown back on their own indomitable resources, and much interested in the visits of the Sunbeam. Mr. Bousfield had begun his connection with the Mission almost twenty years ago with a tour of the lighthouses and life saving stations along the coast and he has been a sturdy friend


of these men all the way. When the Keeper returned the visit continued. It was difficult to leave.

I wish I could convey to the readers of this article the interchanges of that visit (and of other similar visits that I have made with Mr. Bousfield by summer and occasionally in winter) . The pastoral skill and above all the spirit that have marked the life of the Christian Church since the days when Jesus said to Peter: Feed my lambs,-feed my sheep, were beautifully exemplified. And so also as we progressed across the snow fields and called in homes.

The Sunbeam is a sort of sea-going Church. Her sturdy form, sometimes sheathed in ice and sometimes bathed in summer sunshine, through fair weather and foul, is like the spire of the rural Church,-it points to God. Her hailing whistle as she approaches friends or salutes them in passing on other errands of mercy, is like the Church bell,-a voice to remind the lonely toiler of Him who went about doing good.

"For Jesus sails the sea again Along the granite coast of Maine ."

The Fraternity Convention By JOHN 0. MoSELEY, ~AE (Reprinted from The Fraternity Month)

There are three factors controlling success or failure in every situation :

( 1) What you put into it. (2) What you get out of it. ( 3) What you do with what you get out of it. Based upon the above are ten suggestions for

successful attendance at a fraternity convention. ( 1) Read carefully and preserve for reference

all advance information and announcements from responsible sources.

( 2) l)tudy beforehand the names of fellow delegates and look up the fraternity service records of your fraternity leaders.

( 3) Arrive at the convention on time, remain until it adjourns, and be regular and punctual at all of its sessions.

( 4) Bring to every meeting a receptive mind

WINTER 1951

and body unwearied by the distractions of the convention side shows.

( 5) Look for the good in every event and personality; and assimilate the best of what you find.

( 6) Be tolerant in all things especially those you do not know, like or understand.

(7) Take a long look ahead and fit everything you see, hear and learn into the pattern of the fraternity's future.

( 8) Bring back to your chapter every lesson and impression received and deliver them in worthy form and style.

(9) Give expression to your feelings of friendliness, gratitude and fraternalism to those to whom you are indebted for those feelings.

( 10) Vitalize in self and chapter the experiences which should be kept alive.

Lucy O§borne Share§ Highlight§

of Memorial European Summer By MIRIAM LIKENS SMITH, Zeta

POPULAR Fort Wayne South Side High School (approximately 1500 pupils) teacher and program director,

Lucy Osborne, Tau '25, took time out last summer for a whirlwind tour of Europe and the British Isles.

Lucy· joined Dr. and Mrs. Donald Bryant (Mary Osborne, T) of St. Louis in Europe so she enjoyed a family reunion as well as travel.

Lucy is a greatly beloved and admired member of the Fort Wayne alumnre chapter, of which she is a charter member. She is a conscientious worker who gives her utmost to any task that she assumes, and full of fun and wit, too. Whenever we have a "White Elephant" auction, Lucy is our auctioneer by acclaim. These sales are always a great success because Lucy makes us laugh-and buy !

She makes her home with her mother, Mrs. L. P. Osborne, still active and very charming. · Mrs. Osborne was an honored guest at the luncheon Fort Wayne alumnre gave for Lucy shortly before her departure for Europe. Lucy characteristically, because of her father's illness and death, transferred (in order to be at home) from Indiana university to Ball State Teacher's college at Muncie, Ind., from which she received her A.B. In 1938 she received her A.M. from Columbia university. When she attended her first Sigma Kappa alumnre meeting in New York City, she was delighted to find ten Sigma Kappas whom she had known at Indiana.

Since 1938 Lucy has taught in Fort Wayne. In our alumnre group she has held all the offices. Civic-wise she is a member of the Wayne St. Methodist Church ; has been Panhellenic president and for eight years a Y.W.C.A. Board member, directing many programs for them ; is a member of the P.E.O. Sisterhood; has represented A.A.U.W. on the Board of the Civic Theatre; in A.A.U.W. was secretary and Board Member for two years, also chairman of a local "section" twice; is a<;tive in P.T.A.

Her hobbies are photography (started with the fine camera and equipment given by her pupils for her European trip) and cooking

Lucy Osborne, Tau '25, popular Fort JJP"ayne, Ind., H igh School teacher and charter member of Fort liP"ayne Sigma Kappa almmue chapter, tells of tmforgettable European tour last sttmmer.

-refreshment time is always hungrily anticipated at Lucy's !

Arriving in France May 15, Lucy spent ten days in Paris, highlights of which were being entertained in a French home, seeing the University of Paris, attending "The Magic Flute" at the Opera House, eating at sidewalk cafes, strolling through the Luxenburg gardens, browsing among the open book staiis along the Seine, and visiting the Art Galleries, Tuilleries Gardens, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower.

Grenoble, a small college town in southern France, completely surrounded by snowcapped Alps mountains, with a full moon reflecting the white mountains on the !sere River-and the beautiful song of a nightingale-left a memory never to be forgotten.

The bus ride from Grenoble on the Route Napoleon, through the French Alps, the city Grass (fa!JlOUS for its beautiful gardens and its manufacture of fine perfumes) to Cannes

29

and Nice was thrilling, as was the five-day stay on the Riviera.

First high spot in England was a week spent on Craven Hill, London, living in the guest house of a retired opera singer. Next was the stay at the Swan Inn in Lamport, Northamptonshire, a little village in north central England, where her party swelled the population to seventy, and where they made up a fifteen-person congregation in the 13th Century Church of England. Through the North West Lake country they travelled with an English friend in his pre-war Austin.

Scotland, where the sun set at 10:30 P.M., was another high light from the time it was entered at Gretna Green, through the crossing of the Cheviot Hills to the west coast, crossing the Solway to the Sea, driving along the Firth of Clyde. Among the most interesting stops was Partsonachan Inn on Loch avenue with Colonel and Mrs. Young as hosts, where mornings they were awakened by Colonel Young playing his bagpipes while he marched around the inn in his kilts.

Lucy's hotel room in Edinburgh opened onto Princess Street, most beautiful street in the world with its beautiful shops, Robert Louis Stevenson Flower clock, and statue of Sir Walter Scott, all literally in the front yard of Edinburgh Castle. She received an engraved invitation to the spectacular "Presentation of Colors by the Duke of Gloucester to the Scottish Grand Regiment" at Hollywood Palace, the first time this presentation ceremony had taken place in 200 years.

South of Edinburgh she visited the old walled city of York with its charm and antiquity, Yorkminster Cathedral, the Lord Mayor's Mansion, narrow streets, and the assembly room described by Jane Austen in her books.

In Gloucester Lucy stayed with a college friend and visited the Gloucester School of Home Economics, Bristol university, Cheltenham Girls' High School, City of Bath, Tewksbury, Stratford-on-Avon, and rode through the Cotswald country in a Rolls Royce. Oxford, Cambridge and London were final stops in Britain. Transportation and telephone service in London Lucy found much cheaper than in America-with bus, streetcar and subway rates ranging from 1 to 4 cents, depending on the distance covered. Telephone calls cost 2 cents; taxi rides were about a shilling (about 14 cents) .

Lucy found the English a sturdy, heroic people who welcomed her into their homes as though she were an old friend and of them she says, "They accept the rationing of food and fuel and the many discomforts of everyday living with a hope that something will save England and put her back on her former

· firm footing. Some shake their heads and say they can't face another war; many say little, but leave the impression that they will meet whatever comes for the sake of old England. Much less is said about war there than in the United States, and there is no hysteria. They go calmly about their business and pray for recovery."
