We are all proud of this new addition to our suite and really have enjoyed it all year. Rushing was the iirst big activity of the school year for us. Our formal tea at the home of Mrs. F rick was lovely. F ollowing this we entertained the rushees at an informal party with a TV theme. iiWorld Cruiseii was the theme of our formal dinner, but the thick steaks we served really stole the show. Following these parties we pledged seven terrific gals and they have proved themselves to be a most co-operative and outstanding group. The Homecoming Parade saw Alpha st dressed as pirates and floating down Main Street on a big blue and silver cruiser. iiPlunder Cornellii was the motto and the team really took our ad- vice. Elaine Cheli was our representative on the Homecoming court. November 16 was our annual hayride. It was a chilly night and we really had immense ap- petites for the hot chocolate and sandwiches that were awaiting us in the Union afterwards. Our advisors entertained us at a Christmas Party. They prepared a delicious ice cream pie dessert and songs and games made the evening a wonderful opening for the Christmas season. Our pledges carried out the Holiday idea with decorations and a tree in the suite. On January 11, the pledges entertained us at the Hillbilly Hop. We all dressed in our best gunny sacs for the occasion and the King and Queen for the evening were throned on an out- house. All the fellows received comcob pipes as favors and the truth or consequence program really amused us allwwhen we wel'elft performing that is! Our snow sculpturing gave us rosy cheeks, but otherwise was not too successful. We at- tempted a Sphinx. The can-can dancers in our Carnival booth did more than their share to bring the first prize to our sorority. The trophy is beautiful and we really are proud of it. March 15, found us at the Womerfs Club to welcome three new girls into our sisterhood. After the initiation, our advisers really outdid themselves with a creamed chicken dinner. Our annual Rose Dance was held at the Towne Hotel on March 29. As usual, all the girls had roses and the small leather dance programs had a gold rose in the corner to carry out the theme. Pocket knives with our crest on them, were given as favors. Another new trophy has been added to our collection since Sylvia Knoll is Delta Rho Upsi- lon,s Smile Queen. We knew that smile would be a prize winner! And now we are looking forward to the Sing and soon afterwards the close of school for this year. We will all return in the fall ready for another successful and happy year with Alpha Xi Delta. Page One Hundred Sixteen ..,,, -... . i;

Beta Chi Theta Pres. ................... Pat Campbell V . Pres. 81 Treas ....... Joanne Beernich Sec. ................... Ellen Ladwig Social Chairman .......... Alice Crofts Pledge Warden ........... Mary King F all came and the Carroll Campus buzzed with the enthusiasm of Beta girls. Orientation Week found Alice Crofts, co-chairman with Pat Campbell and Mary King to ably assist her. Rushing began with a whirl of activities beginning with a truly impressive tea at the home of Mrs. James Frisch. Beta iiSno Snugii as an informal party theme proved to be a very successful event. And finally following our annual Treasure Island dinner with traditional orchids, we again found ourselves with the largest pledge class of the rushing season. In the midst of all these rushing festivities we honored our advisor, Dr. Alida Degler, 0f the language department, who has been with us for more than twenty years. After weeks of planning Homecoming arrived and with it a parade of beautiful floats. Beverly Mann represented us in the queeifs court. Party time came too. Swinging doors, giving the effect of an old cabaret was the theme for a gala iiBums Brawl? Highlight of the evening was the crowning 0f the iiKing 0f Bums? A Christ- mas party with Santa and his helper was the next of our many activities. Most of all we enjoyed the annual Blue Carter Dance held at the Avalon Hotel. iiBeta Through the Years: with various dances and songs carried out the theme. It was enjoyed by all, particu- larly our guests for the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Huddleston and Mr. and Mrs. Heyer. It was also our pleasure to have as our guests girls from each of the other social groups. Cheneque Country Club, for the second successive year, was the scene of our Beta Spring F or- mal. Tom Turkey dinner with all the trimmings left us in a fine mood to dance to the modern music of the Varitones. We know our seniors will be sad to depart from our lively traditions. Most outstanding in our Beta Life this past year was the fact that we celebrated two Founder Days, Beta Chi Thetzfs last on F ebruary 14, and Alpha Gamma Delta,s first on May 30. Truly a pioneer in sorority organization, having been the first on the Carroll Campus founded in 1910, we now find ourselves the newest organization in sorority life. On May 17 we were formally initiated into Alpha Gamma Delta as the Beta Epsilon Chapter. The following day we were hostesses t0 Carrollis social groups at a Presentation Tea at the Ava- lon Ilotel. XVith the close of another year, a feeling of satisfaction is found within the group - a feeling that we have successfully completed another year. Page One Hundred Eighteen
