ZETA TAl' ALPHA l.fft to Kit it FIRST ROW Elizabeth Ellenbercer. the sunshine girl of Zeta Tau, who is mighty glad she is a Zeta, urn, and a little bit more. Vi Gustafson is our clever girl. Vi realizes the fa t, but modestly refuses to smile at her own wit. Vi lives in Pi Phi hall—that may help. Harriet Pike, who is a P. K. Who'd ever guess it? Harriet's interests are in Hoaglin's. Helen Wiiipple, another little sister. Helen just loves to take the coquettish part in plays. SECOND ROW Elm a I) ACCS who can play a violin, and has a high I. Q. This is indeed a rare combination. Rose Taft, the town girl of Zeta Tau. Rose N interested in band work just now. ADELINE StlREVE, who i' ahead of the rest of the sisters. He has her Sig Ep heart and has already announced it. Cleo Robertson, the athletic girl. Cleo is originally from New London and proud of it. Capable. Dorothy Reich, Homecoming Queen, and the girl who brought the erring Woods back into the chapter. Not so adept in other politics. THIRD ROW Alice Jean Hons, a main reason for Ina Mannat coming to school. Alice Jean prefers the flaming youth, too, and is not bashful about it. We wonder why, as she is usually so retiring. Mozei.i.e Ashby, the Muscatine pledge is next. Mozelle has never done anything without ’’aunty except date Pete. Ina Mannat has many thought' of State Teacher's College. W e hope Ina doesn t decide to leave us now. Lucille Tomlin, sent by a Zeta from Illinois. Lucille is majoring in music, and it keeps her busy practicing. Because of the high water at Wapello. Merry Beth Black and Jean McCullough were unable to get here for the pictures. The Zeta's were awfully sorry. Several of the other girls were not there for the picture either. Page 1S6

The Street of Good Cheer There is a Street of (iood Cheer. It is not marked out in any city plan; it is not merely a thoroughfare from one place to another. It is not a busy artery of commerce where man and beast, by sweat of brow, toil their heavy burdens to the market-place. It is not a boulevard where the pleasure-mail recklessly rush along in pursuit of vanishing rainbows. It is not an exclusive avenue, only to be coursed b the rich and powerful. It is not a winding road of deceit and disillusionment which leads only to misery and despair. It is, instead, a broad and open highway which bids cheery welcome to all mankind. It leads far away from the humdrum cares of daily life. It gladly receives the traveller, regardless of youth or age, power or poverty, position or obscurity, and leads him on to fairy heights where the bitter world of reality is dispelled; where he may become an Alexander of conquest and win the heart of the story-book princess. The bright lights of welcome are never dimmed upon this Street; it is never barricaded against the hungry heart of humanity, yearning for inspiration and contentment. The portals of this Street are always ajar to bid a cordial greeting of good cheer to all who would travel its way. It is, indeed, the Street of (Iood Cheer, this highway whose waysides are banked with those havens of happiness—the Motion Picture Theater. —Martin' J. Quigley. TEMPLE THEATRE Pagt 1S7
