She served as the Xi Corporation Board's first president, and has continued to serve that board in various capacities through the years. In March 1958, she again turned the first spadeful when ground was broken for the new Xi chapter house. When the new office of Counselor to House Corporation Boards was created, Grand Council wisely turned to Ola Einhouse to fill the position. Her experience over the years with Corporation Boards and buildings will be of tremendous value in her work with chapters and boards which are presently building or planning new housing. A graduate of the University of Idaho in 1917, Ola was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In addition to Corporation Board work, Ola served as president of the Moscow alumna- chapter and as Adviser to Xi chapter. Her private life centers around her two sons and four grandchildren. (Her husband. Dr. J. Harry as a Einhouse died in 1943) . Her busine.ss day is spent at the Washburn Wilson Seed Company secretary.

Obtaining the alumnae list from Central Office, Jean soon had Fort Lauderdale members sharing her enthusiasm and in January 1956 the chapter was char tered. It was only natural that she should be its first president. For two years, Jean has guided the alumnie chapter in taking an active part in Gamma Phi Beta nationally and in making its presence felt locally.

BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA

After a period of inactivity, Birmingham (Ala bama) alumnae reorganized in late October and have enjoyed a series of luncheon meetings throughout the year. Highlight of the October luncheon was hearing the many interesting experiences of Martelia Bell (Birmingham-Southern '50) who played exhibition badminton in a number of European countries last summer. The Downtown Club was the setting in November for our Founders' Day luncheon. Hostess for the event was Jennie Robinson Weeks, who inciden tally received a special vote of thanks from the chap ter. With her husband serving as chairman of the nationally attended Birmingham Armed Forces "Day" week-long celebration, the week of November 11 was perhaps the busiest of the year for Jennie.

Des Moines

The Des Moines alumnae Chapter is happy to re port a busy and interesting year in 1958. Our vice-president, Norma Falz Brown, planned programs which brought our group a well-balanced diet of fun and education. In January the alumnae chapter met at the Iowa Society for Crippled Chil dren and Adults. The Society's director, Mr. Don Gerdom, gave us a tour of the building and explained the treatments and activities carried on there. After learning of their great need of funds, we contributed some of the proceeds from our rummage sale to the Society. We hope to repeat this policy as often as possible. In February we met at the home of our president, Adrienne Rickerd Herbert. The program featured a very informative talk about Iowa's educational program for exceptional children, which includes both the gifted and the handicapped child. The speaker, Mr. Paul Vance, is the husband of a Des Moines alumnae member. In May we were pleased to have a high school girl from Athens, Greece as our speaker. She has come to this country through the American Field Service. Her talk about the educational system, customs and culture of Greece was greatly enjoyed. Concentrating a little more on Gamma Phi, we were pleased to have Mrs. I. A. Guetzlaff, Province IV Alumnae Director, visit Des Moines in October. Unfortunately we did not have a meeting; however, our president and several members entertained Mrs. Des Moines alumncs looking over gifts for children at Broadlawn General Hospital are, from lefl, Guetzlaff at a luncheon at the Club.

There is no time like spring! And Eugene is no exception. The winter is past and with the rush of blossoms and music we look forward to the suc cessful culmination of this years' activities. As we look back over the fall and winter we

can feel satisfied that our time was well spent. In November the active chapter and alumnae gathered at the Eugene Hotel in honor of Nu chapter's SOth anniversary.

Our October meeting was an enjoyable pledge- alumna brunch, an annual occasion which gives the alumna an opportunity to meet the new pledges and the pledges an opportunity not only to meet the alumna but to learn more about the history of Tau chapter. In November we gathered with the active chapter at the chapter house for a tea and an impressive ceremony presented by the actives to celebrate Founders' Day. Starting the new year off with a bang, we learned at our first business meeting in 1959 that the [)roperty for the new chapter house had finally been annexed into the city, and that national officers had approved of our house plans.

Gamma Phi Beta from the past has given A heritage that makes a fuller life. Gamma Phi Beta in the present bids Us strive for lasting values and ideals. Gamma Phi Beta in the days to come Will prove that fundamentals can endure. Therefore we shall embody in our lives The truths that make for finer womanhood.

Once more we pledge a loyalty that means Adherence to all true and noble things; A learning that enriches all our days With magic gold that is forever ours; A labor that each hour will glorify The simple, common task, the common cause; A love that will be strong and great enough To compass and to pity all the world.
