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.

PHI SIGMA MU ETA CHAPTER Eta Chapter started another interesting and eventful year by giving a re- ception for the women students of Jordan on September twenty-first. Participat- ing in the program were Marion Thompson, contralto; Jo Marilyn Brown, ' cellist; Mary Jane Harper, clarinetist; and Mildred Reimer, soprano. We had planned a weiner roast in honor of our new pledges for Sunday, October twenty-fourth in Garfield Park. Since it rained the entire day, we met at the home of Mildred Reimer. Sunday, November seventh was another red letter day. Initiation was held at seven o ' clock in the morning and was followed by a breakfast. Our new initiates were: Winifred Brown, Fort Wayne, pianist; Mary Euphrat, Fort Wayne, soprano; Mary Jane Kent, Sandborn, pianist; and Muriel Oeth, Evansville, pianist. We ' re really glad to have them with us. We also want to welcome Mary Margaret Lee, pianist, who was pledged on December seventh, and Jane Jeffries from Logan, West Virginia. Founder ' s Day was celebrated with a Christmas party at Elma Baker ' s home. The musical program consisted of solos by Muriel Oeth, pianist; Jo Marilyn Brown, ' cellist; and Mildred Reimer, soprano. It was good to have one of our old members, Jerry Mohler, back with us for the party. Jerry is quite enthused over her teach- ing position at Waldron. Our congratulations go to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gwynne (Mrs. Gwynne was formerly June Floyd) who were married on February seventeenth while Bob was home on furlough. We were sorry to see one of our new initiates leave us so soon, but we are happy that Billie Brown was fortunate enough to join her husband, Keith Brown, stationed in Georgia. Billie left school at the end of the first semester. Come June and it will be time to say so long to Maxine Snell, Maxine Hen- derson, and Ruth Pearson, who will finish their work here at Jordan. Eta Chapter will miss you girls and we are proud to claim you as sisters of Phi Sigma Mu. We would like to take this time to express our thanks to our president, Doris Miller, and her staff of officers. They have all worked hard and have been very successful in doing their part in upholding the standards and ideals of Phi Sigma Mu.
