f yi THB 9 'Sass ff is X I. grunting On October 25, 1924, a Girl Scout Leadership class was organized at the Col' lege under the supervision of Mrs. George Sheu, who very kindly donated her ser' vices for the promotion of this splendid activity. Twentyfnine girls registered for the course. Gertrude McGee was elected secretary and Lila Murphy, treasurer. This course comprised a thorough training in the essential rudiments of scout' ing. At the end. each girl passed successfully the necessary examinations and for' mally applied for a commission as first lieutenant. A personality test in which every girl acquitted herself admirably completed the course. The following girls have passed their examinations for commissions: Catherine Pierce Mary Sullivan Phoebe Crandall Mary Murphy Bernice O'Leary Anne Sorge Gertrude McGee Anna Maloney Katherine Keogh Eileen Meagher Anna McMahon The following girls have success: v ' Cyrilla Stabel Margaret Letcher Catherine Wilsoii Florence Farrow Katherine Overton Teresa Emo Genevieve Mooney Pauline Alt Mary Mosey Dorothy Jennings Florence Murphy already secured troops and have achieved remarkable Catherine 'C'Connor ...................,..,.............,................................,...........

St. Anthony's Troop Special mention must be given to Frances McNeilly, Irene O'Neil and Axilda Milligan. These girls took the course last year and were immediately appointed. They have been pioneers in their work among Catholic women and their efforts have yielded abundant fruit. They have won the highest approbation from the various Captains and the love and respect of their scouts. Numerous new troops are being organized and it is hoped that by the summer every girl will be in command of her own troop of scouts. This is our ambition and it gives promise of being speedily fulfilled. 119

THE 2,3-X xXx S L Gio LLIAN 1.9 Rx i if A ,X L Although the Delta Phi Sorority was founded in the school year of 1923 f 1924, it did not become active in college affairs until this year, 1924 f 1925. The students Of science determined to show their true colors and to let the schoolfworld know their latent abilities. They did not think it proper that their light should remain hidden while that of others shone forth in splendor. Accordingly, the second Wediiestlzty of October, the first meeting was held, at which a program of the year's course of work was outlined. The following oflicers were elected: ALFHILDE BREOENBERG ......... ..................... P resident MAYEELLE RILEY ........,...... ........... V icefPresident ELIZABETH STOKES ......... ,.................... S ecretary HELEN EVANS ............,,,....,,.,................,.......................,....,.....,............,................,... Treasurer The question of the emblem was also decided, and the sorority pins soon obtained. The work of the first term consisted of a series of wellfprepared and ably delivered student lectures on topics of timely interest, such as Eistein, Mars, Venus, Helpful Germs and other useful scientific facts. Our Christmas party was held December 17, and was declared by all one of the II'IOSt pleasant times they had enjoyed this year. It was on this occasion that our Delta Phi pins were distributed among the members of the club. The work of the first term was brought to fitting conclusion by our observation of the total eclipse of january 24, 1925. It was indeed a stupendous and magnifi- cent spectacle, and we considered ourselves most fortunate to be able to witness a phenomenon of such rare occurrence. A report of the D'Youville College observal' tions was requested by government officials in Vslashington, and was forwarded there Special articles on this subject were written for the College magazine by some of our number.
