I have had the opportunity of being associated w!th Betty in all of her roles as I was worktng wtth Beta Sigma while she was a member of the chapter. Upon her graduation she promptly married Ar mand L. Paquette, another Purdue graduate whom she had dated all during college, and moved with him to Ohio. Several years and two daughters later, they returned to Lafayette where they lived until they moved to M onticello, Ind. (about 40 miles from Lafayette). They were in Monticello until January 1974 but although Armand took a position in Indianapolis at that time, Betty, Suzanne and Mary stayed in Monticello until school was out and their house sold. When Betty returned to Lafayette after her Ohio sojourn everyone was happy to have her assume a Betty Ross Paquette, B:l:, position on the Advisory Board and following a New Director of Central Office. term as Chairman she became a province officer for the area, serving in this way until she went on the National Council.

' . ' The Four Sides of the TRIANGLE Set a Record Sigma Kappa's TRIANGLE has had the same four sides for the past 14 years. Two "sides" -Jean and Anne- both joined the staff in 1960 while Bea became the a lum n~ editor in 1948." I was appointed in 1926-the first year as the "acting editor"-which "act" ended 48 years later with my resignation effective at the Centennial Convention (except for this final post-convention issue) . The total years of devoted and congenial TRIANGLE service from the "four square si des" is 102- which must be some sort of a record! The new TRIANGLE editor, Jean Ragon Collett, T, has all best wishes from all of us. Jean, retiring from National Council after four years as Director of Membership, has a little head start on her TRIANGLE record, for she was a lumn ~ editor from June 1944 to June 1947. Ye editor has enjoyed all of these editorial years- especially for all of the truly good friends made in our sorority and in National Panhellenic. I am most grateful to each mem ber of the staff, present and past, and also to the hundreds and hundreds of Sigmas who have contributed in so many ways during all those years.

The dmmg room staff served the btrthday cake at dessert time and when the 5 50 candles were lit the lights went off and they paraded in with the servings for headtable each atop of a lighted box and everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to Sigma Kappa and to the Wentworth as we were celebrating a double birth day. It was very exciting. Everyone sat at tables designating their birth month and with Alice Wick as Toastmistress it was a very gala event. Those candles are now blown out, but we also celebrated Nov. 9 all over the country. The proposal was made at Convention that each chapter-collegiate and alumn~-and of course, each Sigma who wishes to join the coast to coast celebration set aside the November day as a special day. We were urged to take a violet plant to a shut in or Nursing Home and Sigmas everywhere could feel that sisters country wide were doing this same thing. Katharine Lowry, Foundation Trustee and Past National President, announced several grants from the Foundation for work in Gerontology at Universities where we have college chapters; and scholarships to Universities where we have new college chapters. She then surprised our three retirees, Peg Taggart, Alice Wick, and Speed Baker by announcing financial gifts to the American Farm School and the Maine Seacoast Mission in their names. These were made possible by money which has been given by you, the loyal members, to the Centennial Foundation Fund Drive. This Drive will be continuing through 1974 and I certainly hope that we can reach our goal of every Sigma being a donor. Every dollar contribution that you send in will be used to good advantage. I thank each of you who has so generously given to make these and future grants possible. It seems that this is a fitting way to celebrate this high point of Sigma Kappa's history. If you were not at Convention, be sure to send at least $1 to the Foundation Fund.
