in south The 1959-60 school year was spent teaching in Barinas, a medium sized town western Venezuela. My fellow teacher, Kathleen Devlin, of Albany, New York, and I taught f*mt, in one of Mobil Oil de Venezuela's three schools. We lived and worked in an oil camp which was a twelve hour's drive from Caracas and about five hours from the coast. I taught grades four through eight, the number of children varying between 14 at the beginning of the year to eight at its close. Our children were all American, although some had been raised speaking Spanish. We taught just as we would in an American school, except for one class of Spanish each day. Since the school was so small, it was rather informal. With temperatures almost always over 100, the children wore shorts to school. It was a long accepted fact that dogs came to school too, so there was usually a dog or two lying under my desk. Since the school was so small, we became very close to our children. After school, they usually went swimming with us in the lovely pool of the Llano Alto Hotel right across the road.

To "find a home in the Navy" is a whimsical turn of phrase sometimes heard in Navy circles.

Such a home was found during World War II by an alumna of the University ol Oklahoma and a member of Psi chapter�Eda C. Nelson�and she still claims the Navy as her home. Born in Wayne, Oklahoma, Eda was the daughter of Dr. antl Mrs. John A. Nelson. Her mother was Kate McClain of the pioneer family for whom McClain County in Oklahoma was named.

Carol Alexander of the University of Western Ontario, was recently naraed winner of the Leola Neal Scholastic Award by the Gamma Phi Beta Foundation. Since the competi tion for this award is open to all members of Panhellenic sororities at any of the five Canadian universities where Garama Phi Beta has a chapter, it is interesting to note that not only is Carol a meraber of the sorority, but that she attends the university where Dr. Neal serves as dean of women, and is doing her work in Dr. Neal's own field, psychology. Carol is in the fourth year of the honors psychology course and plans to take her master's degree next year. She will then work as an educational psychologist in the school system. She served the Psychology club as president last year, has been on the Dean's Honor roll for the past two years, and has won the University Board of Governors' scholarship for highest standing in her field. Her sports interests are swimming, tennis, and skiing; she plays the piano and sews many of her own clothes. During the past four sumraers she has worked as program staff for the YM-YWCA camp in Sarnia, Ontario, her horae town. Carol writes: "I am extremely pleased to have received the Dr. Neal award and wish to express my thanks to the Gamma Phi Beta Foundation for having provided this award."

By unanimous consent and enthusiasra, the fourteen alumnae chapters in diis province have agreed to contribute $10.00 each to a common fund, the cash award to be given each June for three years to the Greek letter chapter within the province that is able to raise its scholarship standing by the greatest per centage in the given year.

24 THE CRESCENT OF GAMMA PHI BETA / MAY � 1 61 Wfiy Membership Selection? Why do we work so hard at rushing for membership? Why do we have merabership blanks? Why do we require endorsements for membership? Why do we extend courtesy invitations to legacies? Why don't we feel we must have all legacies as members? Why do the alumnx and collegiates have to cooperate 100% to obtain all the important information necessary for po tential Gamma Phi Beta membership? WHY? WHY? WHY?

Many of these questions can be answered in very few words. . . . We have Gamma Phi Beta standards to maintain. We have Gamma Phi Beta ideals to live up to. We have Gamma Phi Beta consciences to live with. We have Gamma Phi Beta obligations to fulfill. We have a great many more problems to contend with in this generation than formerly. School enrollments have increased to the utmost in capacity; corapetition has grown tougher; segregation probleras have arisen; more legacies have appeared on campuses where a quota system brings the heartbreak of not being able to rush all of them .. . and many more problems too numerous to list.

. . answer So . what do we do to all the whys? Most important of all: know what are the important requirements to look for in a young lady you personally want to become one of your "sisters." This might sound cold . . . but you must do this objectively, not emotionally. Send in your voluntary recommendations as soon as you know where this young lady will be attending college. Be objective, not emotional, about legacies. It has become physically impossible today to have every sister, daughter, cousin a Gamma Phi Beta "sister." And rightfully sol Besides the enrollment problera and quota systera, we are not all cast frora the same die. We are individuals, and have been taught in this generation to think as individuals. When a young lady goes to college, she will find the group or sorority she will be happy to become a part of, and, by the same token, each Gamma Phi Beta chap ter will be able to invite the young lady to become a "sister" whom they know will be happy in the group. This point may be last, but it is far from least. .Mumnxl Please answer your requests for recom mendation information promptly! Do not neglect this obligation and privilege.

Each year the Vancouver camp board gives the Dosh Stafford award for outstanding service to the Sechelt Camp. This year is the first time that it has been given jointly and also is die first time that a Greek-letter girl has been honored. Our con gratulations to Katherine Smith and Sandra Seed for receiving this award and our thanks to them for the untold hours of service they have donated to this camp. Katherine has been a member of the board for many years in various capacities, one of which was president. Sandra has counseled at camp the past two summers and has been work ing directly with the children on "follow-up" at the camper's Christmas and Valentine parties. Since we are investigating the "why" of our philanthropy, it is fitting that we hear from these two hard working members as to what they feel they have gained, their chapter has gained, the underprivileged children have gained, antl why they feel our camping program is desirable.

Even the dessert began to seem a bit eerie as the hour, as we usually find, grew very late for the long-past-midnight drives home.
