MU PHI EPSILON KAPPA CHAPTER NATIONAL MUSIC HONOR SOCIETY 1 Once more Kappa greets you from an Opus — Congratulations, Staff . . . The first meeting of this season was certainly pleasant. There was a lot of getting re-acquainted to be done after summer. Enjoying games, refreshments and a definitely festive air, the Mu Phis got together again. September twenty-eight . . . Were hostesses for a reception honoring women students of Jordan Conservatory. We proudly presented piano music by Dorothy Munger, marimba and piano numbers by Imogene Pierson and Lucille Wagner, a group of viola solos by Doris Miller and songs by Mildred Reimer accompanied by Mae Engle. Around the refreshment table, bedecked with flowers and purple candles burning in lyre-shaped candalabra, we became better acquainted with our guests. November thirteenth . . . Mu Phi celebrated its fortieth birthday! Kappa initiated Mary Euphrat, Winifred Brown, and Maxine Henderson — performing the well-loved ceremony in the chapter room. We enjoyed dinner at the Marott Hotel followed by a program by these new members . . . The death in November of Mr. Sterling, one of our founders, saddened us, but we are grateful to have had his loving guidance for forty years and hope to carry on the high ideals he held for Mu Phi Epsilon. We participated in the annual Noel Fest in December with the other fra- ternal organizations. Rather than exchange gifts among ourselves, we sent presents to the Day Care Centers. The joint meeting with the Alumnae and Patronesses was held on February eighth when Mrs. Henry Schricker, first lady of Indiana, was our hostess. We pre- sented, with Sigma Alpha Iota and Phi Beta, a Victory Musicale on March seventh. On April eighteenth our scholarship student, Mary Euphrat, presented the pro- gram for our reception and tea for our Mothers and Patronesses. Spring initiation and Patroness installation was held on May sixteenth and our new officers assumed their offices on May thirtieth. June thirteenth ... the annual June Frolic will bring the year ' s activities to a close.
