Printed in tbe United Stales of Amer ica off t.he The ARROW bids to give your year a fraternal ending or beginning depending on the timing of its ar­ rival. It brings the editor's hope that you have known a happy holiday and her wish that the coming year will hold a generous portion of happiness and achievement for each of you. -)- -)- + All fall your husbands, sons, brothers, and perhaps some of you heard sportscasters comment that foot· ball was a game of inches. Particularly was that phrase employed in tense'moments when a play barely missed its mark. About that time I was finding that magazine editing and mailing can also be a game of in ches. The fall ARROW was a week late getting to the printer because I missed my mark while reaching in a folder for a paper in our weekly newspaper shop and snipped a fraction of an inch off a typing finger. Some six weeks later another fraction of an inch reared its minute head to delay the mailing of the magazine. This occurred when Central Computing Company in Decatur, which prepares the huge rolls of ARROW mailing tapes, specified that the tape to be used would be punched for perforation every 2 and 11 / 16 inches ; and our printers, George Banta Company, had a wheel made for its mailing machine that would cut the tape at such intervals. However, when the tape arrived and was put on the mailer, it was found to be punched every 2 and t3/ 16 inches-a difference of !Is of an inch. This required the making of a new wheel for the machine before the magazine cou ld be addressed and mailed. It was a tense moment- and our "play" missed its mark in not getting the magazine to you when we had hoped it would be there-early in October. + + + The gi rl who didn't miss her mark graces our cover this issue. Jackie Mayer seems completely worthy of this outstanding honor that she achieved early in September. I know that Pi Phis everywhere who watched her the night she was named Miss America and who have kept up with her activities since are filled with justifiable pride. In compiling the information for this issue it was my privilege to come to know her lovely mother, Beverlie Buck Mayer, through a telephone conversation and correspondence. Knowledge of Jackie's wonder­ ful family and their happy home gives a better insight into her preparation for that big moment in her life which came in the Miss America Pageant. Her father, Jack Mayer, is president of a small manufacturing firm , Sandusky Nut and Machine Com­ pany, which does sub-contract work. He is a member of the Kiwanis Club and was an organizer and charter president of the second Kiwanis Club organ ized in Sandusky- which is a town of 33,000. For many years he was Council President of the Camp Fire Girls. He had already known pri de in his daughter in those days when she attained the highest lo:al rank in Camp Fire Girls three times in homemaking, dance, and musi c. Mrs. Maye r apparently is one of those remarkable people who ca n crowd thirty-six hou rs activity into a twenty-four hou r day and love it. She is in her fourth year as a full time teacher of vocal music in Adams Junior High, where she handles 400 seventh graders daily. She directs the Congregational Church choir and the Firelands Chorus, a semi-professional group of 35 lovers of singing. he says that in her spare time she "manages a few piano and voice lessons, keeps house, prepares a few meals, tries to coerce some­ one else into ironing, and li stens to the various tales of whatever young people are in the house at the time." jackie's older brother, Lynn, was not at the Pageant to appear with the famil), because he was already in Phoenix, Arizona, working on his master's degree at the Institute of Foreign Trade. Beth, the sister who is 14 months younger than Miss America. charmed everyone she met in Atlantic City with her bubbling personality. She is a sophomore in the Conservato!), of Music at Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio. There is no Pi Phi chapter at Berea, so Beth did not have an opportunity to join her sister in Pi Phi and chose Alpha Gamma Delta as her sorority. The proud younger brother, James, who joined Jackie on-stage when she was crowned, is a busy man in Sandusky High sports and musi ca l activities. He is a junior stu­ dent out fo r football, swimming, tennis, and baseball, sings with the A Cappella Choir. is a member of 2 Keynotes, an instrumental group, and was elected to Octet this year. He is vice-president of this year·s Junior Class and on the Student Council. .. This brief introduction to the Mayer family seems to lead to an obvious and heart-warming con­ clusion ... Pi Phi's new Miss America comes from an All-American family. + + + In the fall ARROW you saw the new Loom H ouse at Settlement School and read of the dedication of the E\'eJyn Bishop Lounge in the building. That lounge, which is a memorial to one of the school's most dedicated staff members, was made possible through the gifts of Pi Phis and friends in Gatlinburg. Henrietta McCutchan Huff, who helped administer the fund, wrote me in September that S600.00 was given and that she was sure that all Pi Phis who had co ntributed would be very happy with the type of memorial that their gifts had helped establish. + -)- + Two fine people who have enriched the programs of the Settlement School and Arrowcraft immeasur­ ably have both chosen to retire from active se rvice this year. You will find news of their retirement and a word of apprec iation from the Settlement School comm ittee and Fraternity in the Little Pigeon section of this magazine. Marjorie Chalmers and Winogene Redding have served as nurse and weaving instructor over a long period of years and each has given freely of her talent, time and interest to build the Settlement School program into a stronger and more productive endeavor.
