Nice people; I mean, pretty room. Party after party — lipstick, anklets, skirts—first appearance of Lit- tle Nell. Success! Future repeat per- formances to be given. Chis pledged seven girls. Nice people! Ho-hum— classes begin. ZZZZZ—Did Marj and Gunner bring home the stuff from con- vention? Hattie R. R. returned from dark cold world to hide from its dan- gers behind textbooks or Pittman— October— Founders’ Day and Reminiscing—Ask ’em how they did it. Did what? Pickles and Cokes, Cake and Cheese; Chis in choir, Chis in cabinet, pep club. Mu Phi, Pi Gam, F. T. A., Orchestra, Band, Dra- matics, Glee Club, International Rela- tions—etc., etc., etc. November— Homecoming clouds were hung by Alpha Chis at 4 a. m. Moats says we were most original—well, we got the cup! We tugged home the trophy! Cotter and Peg temporarily donned paint (temporarily?) and became princesses for Simpson for the day. Nesbitt un- knowingly joined Mu Phi—no fooling, it’s honorary! But Courtney made Pi Gam . . . Score: Business 1, Music 1. December— Cotton fields, Christmas trees, gay dancers, delicious food, feminine frip- pery, masculine handsomeness—all at the Chi Fall Formal. Daily dinners by candlelight. Happy hours together. Sis says he’s coming next week end. Seems happy, too! Betty and Lorraine, spirits of loyalty. Mother Reading promises chocolate dessert. January— Exams. Unhappy memory. Strike it off the record. Kliney is gone. Pete faces students—lucky kids. Cotter takes social with business world . . . Zimmie’s trunk returns. Where’s Zim? Two days later—Zim returns thus ending all speculation. February— Date Dinner with Sweethearts. Why wasn’t it announced ? Diamonds in hid- ing! Gunga Din. What swell pledges. We're glad to sec a pin on Mary Lou. Ruthie’s at the Speech Office. Oh, that chapel program. Where did she get that dress? Jan is wearing an A. T. O. pin. Fine stuff! ! March— Minnie revives Little Nell. Zim was quite pathetic. Too bad Mr. Williams couldn’t have seen his Marj. Must have been Courtney’s good deed—she went to convention at Columbia, Mo., too. How was the army? No jeep jitters? Dottie is the sweetheart. Beauties and Balls. Happy thought. Don’s Peg was again an attendant—most adorable one, too— one and one-fourth. Mar and Harriet have joined us; with Helen Jean and Margaret we have a grand foursome at M. B. H. Prexy’s Rachel has become a Chi .... pril— Billy Hughes, um-m-m-m-m formal dinner dance—nicest A. X. O. formal ever known say the alums—someone predicts a pin hanging. This is to be no gossip sheet. But still no engagement announced. High hopes for Simpy’s future. Buena remains en-Grossed. May— Editor lost the copy. Hang it. But memories still remain. Wonder if I’ve forgotten anything. Nice recital, Marj. Peg’s should happen along soon, ah. the life of the musician. And still more happy days to come in Alpha Chi. 26)))

Every Alpha Chi girl is very neat; She stands 100 head to feet. per from She has that style, that smile, that winning way; And everywhere you go— You'll recognize her and you'll say, Now there’s a girl I’d like to know; She has that Alpha Chi old pep and go. One look at her is mighty sweet. She’s hard to bent That Alpha Chi Girl.” (((27
