UR'frl DrLTfJ DETi) 1 letten. to StinJzy Dear Stinky, You’re in the army now and you want to know what I do all day at Simpson? Well, it’s this way. Every day is busier than the last one was and the first days of the year were plenty busy. Rush week was hectic, per as usual, but we convinced eleven freshmen that Tri-Delta was the sorority for them. Letha and Chuck announced their engagement at preference dinner and everyone was so thrilled. Bowersie sang the lead in the Home- coming opus and Slocum, Ritcr and Elaync were in the background. Jo wrote the music to four of the songs, too. Frieda was elected senior class prexy and Jean Niles was chosen pep club head. Prof, moved over on the tribal throne and daughter Jo ruled as Homecoming princess. Martha was elected vice president of Aeolian club when it was formed and four of the Delts were nominated to Who’s Who. Mrs. Callendar, district president of Delta Delta Delta, came for two days’ visit and P. K. took to her bed with an attack of nerves. We won the volleyball tournament and entertained each other and the alums on Founders’ Day. We had our Christmas formal a wee bit early on December 6. Kathic Merrick was the next Delt to go; she announced her engagement to Bob Donald. Then Shcrratt graduated, practically, and went off to teach school in Nevada. The war cut off our between-semester vacation; so we were all excited about the wedding on Sunday, January 25. Beech and Thurlow were married and all the Delts got that old feeling. Gilly and Judy were bridesmaids, and the house was full of rice and presents and atmosphere. Judy and Ken announced their en- gagement and Swish pledged soon after, and then we had our Valentine formal. Dot was elected next year’s Zenith editor; there were nine Delts on the honor roll; Frieda was a representative woman; Bowers, Swish and Thurlow, Buechler, we mean, were beauties and oh, Heavenly Daze, the Delts won the first semester grade cup! We initiated five new Delts and pledged Al, Esther Ellen and Mac. Bowersie and Frieda Mae were chosen members of Epsilon Sigma. We won the consolation basketball tournament, we had a spring formal at the Hotel Fort Dcs Moines with Mel Pestcr’s band and long skirts. We grad- uated some people, we made some plans for next year, and we had a gorgy time. Also we went to school. Among us we published the Simp, were president of Panhcl, acted in plays, sang in the choir, led cheers, and de- bated. One of us got married; three of us became officially engaged; four of us left school for the cruel world; one of us quit being a town girl and moved to the house. We were busy and we were happy and we’ll stay that way for the dura- tion so there, too, Stinky. Love to the top sergeant, 30))) Deborah the Delt.
