Hickman Business Mattager Registrar Vublic Relations ^ Delaware Campus % ^# .IsIikOl ^rw^ \/'%m':y Dear Students on the Campus and in the Service: Again we extend to you our fondest greetings whether you are here at home or in far away places. More and more we reahze that the Jordan spirit binds us all into a unity of kindly feeling and of affection one for the other. In our fields of endeavor and especially in our chosen field of music there are broad established concepts as to what our general purposes must be for the broadening of our own horizons. We must keep these ideals before us constantly. Our one hope is that soon we shall be able to join our forces at home and bring into fruition our great- est desires and ambitions. May blessings be upon you always!

The first meeting of this season was certainly pleasant. There was a lot of getting re-acquainted to be done after summer. Enjoying games, refreshments and a definitely festive air, the Mu Phis got together again. September twenty-eight . Were hostesses for a reception honoring women students of Jordan Conservatory. We proudly presented piano music by Dorothy Munger, marimba and piano numbers by Imogene Pierson and Lucille Wagner, a group of viola solos by Doris Miller and songs by Mildred Reimer accompanied by Mae Engle. Around the refreshment table, bedecked with flowers and purple candles burning in lyre-shaped candalabra, we became better acquainted with our guests. thirteenth November . Mu Phi celebrated its fortieth birthday! Kappa initiated Mary Euphrat, Winifred Brown, and Maxine Henderson—performing the well-loved ceremony in the chapter room. We enjoyed dinner at the Marott Hotel followed by a program by these new members . The death in November of Mr. Sterling, one of our founders, saddened us, but we are grateful to have had his loving guidance for forty years and hope to carry on the high ideals he held for Mu Phi Epsilon. We participated in the annual Noel Fest in December with the other fra- ternal organizations. Rather than exchange gifts among ourselves, we sent presents to the Day Care Centers. The joint meeting with the Alumnae and Patronesses was held on February eighth when Mrs. Henry Schricker, first lady of Indiana, was our hostess. We pre- sented, with Sigma Alpha Iota and Phi Beta, a Victory Musicale on March seventh. On April eighteenth our scholarship student, Mary Euphrat, presented the pro- gram for our reception and tea for our Mothers and Patronesses. Spring initiation and Patroness installation was held on May sixteenth and our new officers assumed their offices on May thirtieth. June thirteenth ... the annual June Frolic will bring the year's activities to a close.
