SIGMA ALPHA IOTA ZETA CHAPTER NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL MUSIC FRATERNITY Sigma Alpha Iota was founded in 1903 at the University School of Music, Ann Arbor, Michigan; it has the distinction of being the oldest music fraternity for women. The seven women who were the first S. A. I. ' s banded together for the purpose of gaining inspiration as well as material aid for their musical education. A Victory Program was adopted by the Fraternity shortly after the United States ' entry into World War II. Under this program a Chapter Victory Chair- man was appointed, and an intensified support was pledged to our Country in this, its hour of need. Zeta Chapter is cooperating with the national Victory Program in a big way. Many Zeta members are giving their talent for the entertainment of the men at nearby camps. THIS IS TO BE OUR SYMPHONY =• To study and practice the goodness of life, the beauty of art, the meaning of music. To sing the song of sincerity and universal peace. To speak the words that build, that bless and comfort. To play the harpstrings of loving kindness, tolerance, appreciation and genuine gratitude. To strive for the joy of simplicity, for the noble; to be faithful over a few thin ys. To listen, to be still and know the harmony from within. To falter never in seeking loving service, wisdom and understanding. In a word to be loyal to Sigma Alpha Iota and her teachings; to find joy, hope, inspiration; to remember that every go od gift and every perfect gift is from above and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as to the Lord, and not unto men! And again, to practice. This is to be our symphony. By Esther Requarth, Nu Cliapter.

PHI SIGMA MU ETA CHAPTER As is the annual custom, Eta Chapter greeted the women students of Jordan, both old and new, at an informal reception on October 3. Founder ' s Day was celebrated on December 9 with a favorite of Eta mem- bers — a chili supper followed by a Christmas party and gift exchange. Initiation for pledges was held in February, with breakfast following, as a compensation, more or less, for the early 7:00 A. M. initiation hour. We are happy to welcome into our organization Mary Mae Stamper, Lillian Steinkeller, Ruby Montgomery, Betty Bowers, and Connie McClure. Recitals were given this year by June Gwyn, Mu Phi scholarship winner, Jo Marilyn Brown and Mary Euphrat, who combined in a program of vocal and ' cello music. Members come and go but we are eager to have them join our circle. Mary Emily Davisson was with us until October when she returned to her home in Virginia. Our sincere wishes follow Pat Pearson who left in November to study at the University of Los Angeles in California. With the approach of June and graduation, four of our members will join the school mar ' m brigade. To Mary Jane Kent, Marion Thompson, June Gwyn, Muriel Oeth and Mary Jane Harper, who will embark soon on teaching careers we say Best of luck. We send a vote of thanks to Mary Jane Harper, our president, and her as- sisting officers for leading us through another successful year. Phi Sigma Mu takes this opportunity to wish a pleasant summer and suc- cessful year to all. [22]
