1. Intermiiiion 2. Ploy conteit entry, Oiih Toweli 3. Who Will Buy My Violoti? On December 17 the home of Miss Stewart, club advisor, was the setting of a Christmas party for the group. Carols were sung and games were played, followed by refreshments later in the evening. The semester closed with the election of officers. Phyllis Waurunek was chosen to succeed Delores Raddatz as president. Second semester activities began with rehearsals for the annual lota Songfest. Helen Potter served as director for Alpha Chi's selection, Who Will Buy My Violets? The girls, dressed in dirndl skirts and peasant blouses, held boskets of violets. The setting was completed by a flower girl, surrounded by purple violets, who was sitting off to one side of the stage. Joan Kubiayk was the soloist. It was decided that the organization would not enter Vod-Vil this year because several of the senior members were practice teaching. However, they offered their services to Lyceum for entertainment between the regular acts. Joan Kubiayk sang several selections and Eunice Newman performed several pantomines. Although Alpha Chi participates in most activities on campus, its purpose is not purely social in scope. In 1926 a group, known as the Ruralites Society was formed to satisfy the need of an organization which would prepare the rural students to be future leaders in their communities. In 1930 the society's name was changed to its present one, Alpha Chi. Today the club's purpose embodies not only education and social aims, but also strives to promote a better understanding of rural conditions. Membership is open to all men and women of the rural department.

Both members and alumni attended. Serving on the committee for the event were Pat Phillips, Loa Hatch, and Helen Potter. The next big fall event that kept the group busy was Kappa Gamma's annual play contest. Dish Towels was chosen os the organizations entry. The theme of the play concerned a scheming spinster who was endeavoring to trap the new minister. Most of the action centered around a group of women who were helping her to prepare dishtowels for her hope chest. At the climax of the drama the minister arrived with his new wife and, of course, the spinster lost out. Mrs. Cora Lange served as director and the cast included Karen Johnson, Lola Nest, Donald Pockat, Patsy Pollock, Chester Popke, Delores Rad-datz, and Phyllis Wourenek. Alpha Chi was also well represented in sports. A volleyball team was organized and entered in the women's tournament. Captain of the squad was Lorraine Molik. The girls, headed by Mary Schilcher, also participated in competition in the basketball tournament. Row eight: C. Popke, Mi»» Stewart, D. Pocket Row veven: G. Nicolaut, N. Janke Row iix: J. Bird, C.

Informal rushing was just a little different this year because it was held for the first time with lota. Delta Phi's brother society. A pirate party was used as the theme and everyone attended in costume. The annual scavenger hunt was the main event of the evening, followed by games and refreshments at St. Peter's auditorium. The scene, again this year, for formal rushing was the Raulf Hotel, where the traditional Smorgasbord dinner was served. Yellow roses, the Delta Phi flower, were given to the pledges on this occasion. The formal pledging party was held at the home of one of the Oshkosh members, Linda Lange. Homecoming week-end was preceded by many days of planning and working by both members and pledges on the homecoming float — a huge airplane mounted on the top of a car, accompanied by the slogan, Let's Ground the Pointers! The week-end was rounded out with a homecoming tea at the home of Mrs. Marion Mitchell for all the active members and alumnae. And, of course, the gals on the OSC campus had their opportunity this year to catch their fellows for the annual Delta Phi-Iota Sadie Hawkins dance. Radio publicity helped to get this fall event off to a big start and a good time was had by all the Li'l Abners and Daisy Maes in attendance. A contribution to a Christmas basket of food, clothing, and toys was the prime requirement in order to attend a Christmas party given by the pledges for Page 20
