SOCIO-GEOGRAPHIC Socio-Geographic members had a full calendar with twelve regular meetings, which will be climaxed by the annual picnie and final ban- quet in early June. Many worthwhile projects were completed, including the sale of goods for the Chinese War Revief which netted a total of $263.50, scrap- books for the Percy Jones Hospital in Battle Creek, 2 Thanksgiving basket for an old Indian woman, a cookie drive for the U. S. O. on Val- entine’s day, and card table covers made for use in the Veterans’ hospital. Besides these activities the group enjoyed book reviews by Margaret DuLong, Wilma Koteskey, Joan Blum, and Gretchen Hine. Rev. Will.am Koteskey spoke to the sroup on his travels in England; Maxine Akana presented several Hawaiian dances; and slides on Arizona were shown. Members were also surprized by a vis.t from Santa Claus at the Christ- mas party. The officers elected to carry on the year’s activities were: Doris De Vinney, president; Donna Spracklin, vice-president; Nancy Hatch, treasurer, and Joan Blum, secretary. Throughout the year former members of the Socio-Geographic now in the service of the:r country have written to the present members of the club, thus keeping alive the spirit of fellowship.

PHI THETA KAPPA Only six of the members initiated into Phi Theta Kappa last May returned to J. C. in September. But six girls carried on the Beta Gam-- ma Chapter functions with all the grace and tradit.on of more active years. Joan Blum, who had been elected president, conducted the bus:ness of the Chapter with her usual ease. Phyllis McCall, as vice-president, di- rected the initiates in the Pledge Service in ‘addit:on to her other duties. Gretchen Hine was the Chapter treasurer, and Laura Burgess acted as secretary. Standing—Alene Weinberg, Joyce Krabbe Seated—Gretchen Hine, Joan Blum, Laura Burgess, Miss Hellmuth, Phyllis McCall The other two old members assisted in carrying out the functions of the Pledge Service and Initiative Banquet smoothly. Joyce Krabbe, as official reporter, sent regular articles to the national magazine, and both Miss Krabbe and Alene Weinberg contributed articles of interest. The chapter is especially proud of the articles accepted by the “Golden Key.” These included two of ‘Joyce Krabbe’s—‘“Innermost Ideals” and “Co-operation for Success”. Alene Weinberg’s article “For Post-War Plans-—— Education” appeared in the January issue, and another on life in War Factories in the March issue. Four poems by Joan Blum have been printed—‘“Men Are Fools”, “Repentance”, “Prayer of Hope” and “A Soul Inspired’’. The pledges to the Chapter this year are: Ruth Born, Delphine Grego, Wilma Koteskey. Pegge Mc Namara, Clarence Newart, Caroline North, Mary Catherine Patterson, Sally Trombley and Mina Wecker. The old members are confident that this fine new group will carry on and invigorate the chapter next year.
