Amstutz, Gonser Newman Brown Harlor Nichols Officers Alice Hill, President Marian Toops, Secretary Ann Petty, Treasurer DeVictor Greig Hetsch Lapp McCracken Raudebaugh Rector Sarbin Toops A Reese its name from the Orton Hall Chimes, the Junior women’s Honorary was founded in 1918. A small replica of a gold bell with a three-pearl clapper identifies these women. From eight to 24 new members are selected at the end of their Sophomore year by the outgoing group. Selection is based on outstanding contribution to campus activities, leadership ability, and service. Chimes became the national Junior women’s hon- orary in 1947 when three other colleges joined with the Ohio State chapter as charter members. There are now 13 chapters of Chimes from coast to coast, with the west being represented by Key and Scroll. Each new member of Chimes is notified in May Week of her selection. During the night preceding her initiation, she is sere- naded by chimes and bells. The following day she wears white and carries a bell to all her classes. Each girl is then blind- folded and led to Orton Hall for the secret ceremony. Tones on the Chimes honor each new member. Chimes sponsors an annual recognition dessert to honor all those Freshman women who have contributed to the University through their interest in all types of extra-curricular activities. The girls of Chimes also hold a similar tea which is sponsored: to honor and help all new transfer students in the University. At each of the home football games the Chimes girls serve at the President’s luncheons for all visiting dignitaries. Through- out the year cooperative projects are held with Mortar Board. 24
