Monica Threadgill, a newly initiated member of the Gamma Zeta chapter at East Texas State University, was re cently selected Miss Pollette U. S. A., a contest sponsored by the American and Texas Polled Hereford Association. The

contest was held in connection with the World Premiere of "The Rare Breed," co-starring Maureen O'Hara and James Stewart. The movie also features screen newcomers, Don Gal loway and Juliet Mills, the older sister of actress, Hayley Mills. "The Rare Breed" premiered in Ft. Worth, Texas, because of the Stock Show held there at the same time and because of the city's close association with the cattle industry. The movie, it self, tells the story of how the Polled Hereford breed was intro duced to the United States from England. Monica was chosen to represent Ft. Worth in the contest, and she competed with 16 other girls from various Texas cities for the title. The girls were judged on dieir personality, poise, and appearance as the judges observed them in a round of ac tivities which included a personal interview with the panel of judges, modeling competition, appearances at the Stock Show and Rodeo in Ft. Worth, dinner with the stars at the Inn of Six Flags, and various press appearances. As winner of the con test, Monica received a kiss from actor, James Stewart, and made a final appearance at the World Premiere of "The Rare Breed" in Ft. Worth. As Miss Poll-ette U. S. A., she will receive a week's trip to Hollywood, including a screen test, talent au dition, and tour of Universal studios, and she will spend three days at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. Monica, a freshman at East Texas State, is majoring in agri cultural journalism. In 1964, she exhibited her 1,000 lb. Angus as champion steer at the Tarrant County Junior Livestock Show and the Ft. Worth Fat Stock Show. Among her other honors include finalist in the 1964 Miss Teen-.4ge Ft. Worth contest, winner of the National Panhellenic Scholarship, given to the outstanding Ft. Worth girl for character, leadership, and scholarship, and winner of the International Minerals and Chemical Corporation Scholarship, given to the four outstand ing 4-H girls in the nation. .Monica, though, does not live on past glory. This year at East Texas, she was second runner-up in the Western Week Queen contest, and she was a Calendar Girl. She has also been mentioned in a new book entitled What's Right With Our Young People. Needless to say, the Gamma Zeta chapter is proud to claim Monica as one of its members. ]) ]) J Betty Yolnger, Gamma Zeta THE CRESCENT of Gamma Phi Beta

8 THE CRESCENT OF GAMMA PHI BETA / MAY � 1966 Profiles Lambda Founder

Ruby Brown Rucker of Everett, Washington, has many stars�and crescents�in her crown. She was the founder of Lambda chapter of Gamma Phi Beta, chartered in 1903, the first Honored sorority on the University of Washington campus. Back in the days when few women en rolled in universities, she was graduated with honors and elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Since then, her life has been a series of contributions to her community, her family and to In Everett Gamma Phi Beta. Recently The Everett Herald paid homage to Mrs. Rucker and her late husband in a lengthy biographical sketch of their lives under the title "Profile in Character." The 89ers, a civic club in Everett, honored Mrs. Rucker at a dinner meeting and presented her with an 89er Golden Certificate of Honor, in recognition of her many years of service to the community. It was the first such presentation on the part of the 89ers to a woman. Mrs. Rucker was born in Flandreau, South Dakota on February 9, 1881 and spent her early childhood in Mankato, Minnesota. In 1892 the family moved to Everett where her mother founded the first women's club in that city. Ruby Brown graduated from Everett High School and says with twinkling eyes, "We thought we had a big class� there were 13." After graduation from the University of Washington, she taught Latin for two years until she married Bethel J. Rucker. Through the years Mrs. Rucker has watched Everett grow from a small town with planked streets to a thriving metropolis, and much of the growth can be attributed to the vision and business acumen of her husband. Known throughout the northwest as one of the founding fathers of Everett, Mr. Rucker realized his fondest dream when Everett became known as an industrial center of the west. As a symbol of his achievements, Rucker Avenue and Rucker Hill have become synonymous with Everett itself. Through her years of civic and community service, Mrs. Rucker reared two children: Jasper Lincoln Rucker and Margaret Rucker Armstrong, a Gamma Phi Beta. Both of her children are now deceased, but she has four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jasper Rucker is a Gamma Phi Beta and a close companion. Mrs. Rucker is still active in Gamma Phi Beta and attends all the Everett alumnae meet ings with her daughter-in-law. She always attends the Founders Day luncheon in Seattle. Known as the Good Fairy to the Everett alumnae she has always been ready to con tribute her moral and financial support. Last year she hired a bus so that the alumnae could take all the children from Deaconess Home on a picnic�and she went, too. This year when Virginia Douglas, PAD XIII, paid her annual visit to the Everett alumnas chapter, Mrs. Rucker entertained the entire group at luncheon in Mrs. Douglas' honor. It is with a deep sense of pride and awe that all Gamma Phi Beta salutes this outstanding member of Lambda Chapter. Ruby Brown Rucker

An active member of the Honolulu alumnas chapter, she is known affectionately as "Riv"�a nickname she acquired as an undergraduate member of Omicron chapter at the University of Illinois. While introducing herself at new gatherings she always explained her last name: "like the river Jordan." People soon forgot the "Mary Helen," shortened the "river Jordan" to "Riv" and the new name stuck. After graduation from the University of Illinois, Riv taught school until she moved to Washington, D.C. during the war to work in the personnel department of the Civil Aero nautics Administration. After the war she earned her Masters Degree at Northwestern, and it was then that she agreed to join the teaching staff of Panahou. There she met and with married Albert Tobin, an executive Castle and Cooke. The Tobins have one teenage son, Gilman Taylor Tobin. Besides writing her well-read newspaper column, Riv serves as secretary of the board of the American National Red Cross. She has held every office in the Gamma Phi Beta alura Riv Tobin of Honolulu nae chapter, including two terms as president. Patricia Kraatz

"Come alive" or pretty pale colors; bouncy little chiffons and laces; sheer, sheer crepes; printed and solid linens, and raany all-cotton and cotton blends are "in." Serai-fitting sheaths, A-lines, imaginative play clothes, the most flattering evening gowns, and monograined Gamraa Phi Beta blouses and coordinates will be packed in those suitcases.

Symposium on Scholarship

"The Greek system grew in strength when it identified itself completely with the purposes of higher education," says the president of the University of Illinois. We must level a keeir eye at our operations. Do we contribute to the quality of educa tion that a student receives at her university? Do our goals conform to the goals and objectives of our educational institutions? What can we do to more abun dantly fulfill an educational mission? The inain purpose of Gamma Phi Beta has always been the pursuit of high scholastic attainment. The main goal of each college student should be scholastic supremacy. She is in college to learn. We would hope that each member is seeking a true education�that quality which instills in her the desire to continue learning for as long as she lives. Grades are only a symbol. But, grades are the only tool of measinement available to us now and we are judged, individually and collectively, on our GPA. In these days of the college population explosion, high competition and con stant pressure to excel, it behooves all of us to take another probing look at our scholarship programs. With all these things in mind, The Crescent queried 14 of our chapters about their programs for study. Some of these chapters have led their campuses academi cally for years; some have recently risen from the bottom to the top; some are just establishing a course of action. They each have something to tell�something that, hopefully, may supplement or supplant the work in another chapter. Scholarship is only one way in which we can enhance the educational goals of our universities and colleges. And, that is the one with which we are concerned on tlie following pages.

"The desire to do well must come from within the girl herself."

The scholarship prograra at Beta Nu is essentially one of indi vidual responsibility. Each girl is expected to work at her high est level of achieveraent not only for the chapter, but for her own intrinsic benefit. We often stress the fact diat scholarship is the primary goal of the college years. Within the sorority house itself, we have specified quiet hours and in the evening a proctor is on duty until curfew to answer the door and phone and maintain the study atrao- sphere.

A scholarship bulletin board is also kept, on which the girls' grades are posted each semester. Naraes and grades are posted for those receiving above a 2.0 average (on a 3.0 systera) and grades below a 2.0 are posted without naraes. In this way, we can recognize high achieveraent and can see how the Chapter is doing in general, without putting erabarrassing pressure on those who are working as hard as they can. Individual awards are given for high achieveraent: the "Miss Anne's" pin, which belonged to one of our chapter founders, is passed on each year to the senior with the highest accumula tive average; a Scholarship Impro\eraent Bracelet is passed on each semester, and a scholarship bracelet is given to the pledge with the highest average.

When thirteen Gamrna Phi Betas discover each other at Disney land, it's news. Judy Allen, Long Beach, describes it as "il is the epitome of belonging to a National Sorority." All of these young ladies work at Disneyland and represent six different chapters across the country. The five Long Beach members soon dis covered representatives from other chapters by asking around among employees during the season. When it was learned that there were thirteen, an informal dinner was planned al a nearby Italian cafe. Afler the dinner the girls all returned to the park lo have their picture taken for The Crescent. Four of the members are pictured wearing the "uni forms" they wear at their assigned tasks.

28 THE CRESCENT OF GAMMA PHI BETA / MAY 1966 Looking Forward

For continuing growth and progress in Gamma Phi Beta, we are looking ahead to our future members, those who will be pledged in the next academic year and in the years to follow. Presently, the nation is caught up in what many have called the college population explosion. More and more young women are entering our nation's universities and colleges each year, either as freshmen or as junior college transfers. We must provide the intellectual atmosphere, inspiration and qualities of leadership that these young women of today are seeking out. Our standards of conduct must be of the highest caliber and our code of ethics must be sound. If by our example, we can show the prospective member an enriched and purposeful life, we will attract only the kind of young woman who will make a loyal and de voted member all her life. We must be aware constantly of our freedom to choose as well as the new student's freedom to choose membership in Gamma Phi Beta.

Last year over 2,000 girls chose to pledge Gamma Phi Beta Sorority. Many of our alumnae sent information included in the Gamma Phi Beta Alumnae Endorsement to our 81 chapters concerning those girls who were pledged and other prospective members. We wish to encourage more voluntary recommendations to aid our chapters and the alumnae who advise our chapters. These hard-working alumnae rush and chapter advisors serve their sorority as volunteers. Won't you help them to find this needed information?

You are eligible to send in an alumnae endorsement if you have been initiated for at least four years or you have graduated from college. Remember legacies are con sidered for membership on an equal basis with all other candidates for member ship. All rushing personnel would appreciate your prompt reply to a request for information. Every girl pledged must have alumnae endorsement. Contact your nearest alumnae or Greek letter chapter, noiv. It is not too soon to be thinking about the 1966-67 rushing season. Barbara Burns Hiscock. Collegiate Vice President

New Booklets Off the Press

A new pledge manual, released in October, called Guide for Pledges is all that its narae implies plus much more for it con tains within its pages facts about our sorority that are of impor tance to all members regardless of age or position.

This month a companion booklet of 76 pages is ready for mailing �The History of Gamma Phi Beta. Between its brown and gold covers the bright images of sorority life pass before the eyes of the reader in chronological order from the day of our origin, Novem ber 11, 1874, to the day of our most recent birthday, November 11, 1965, and closes with a thumbnail sketch in words of the birth of each chapter, listing its Panhellenic neighbors on campus.

These two books will form a valuable addition to the I personal r reference library of each member�whether Greek letter or alumna. They may be obtained on order from Central Office in any quantity and are priced as follows: Guide for Pledges 85^ The History of Gamma Phi Beta 65^

A third book, referred to as a Standards Manual and long a dream of Grand Council, is now being written and will be pub lished in the fall of this year. The three, while forming the nu cleus of our pledge-training program, will provide interesting and informative reading for all Gamma Phi Betas.

ALBUQUERQUE Helps Children

One of the high-lights of the Yuletide season for the hearing handicapped children and for mem bers of the Albuquerque Gamma Phi Beta Aluranx was a Christmas party at the Pre- School. Santa Claus was there with a bag of toys. Each child received several individually wrapped presents, and punch and cookies were served to the children, their mothers and alumnx mera bers. The committee in charge of the party was Bobbie Wright Ronald (Washington), Gertrude Magee Grenko (Oklahoma), Ginny Fellows Hig gins (Lake Forrest) and Marie Anderson Axline (Missouri).

As this is the only alumnx chapler in North Carolina to date, quite a bit of driving is in volved in getting to meetings�our January meet ing in Greensboro was finally held in February after three successive Saturdays of snow! (The chapter bylaws state that no chapter meetings are to be held in January!) A meeting held in November by alumnx from Winston-Salem, Greensboro and Raleigh decided the need and enthusiasm for a chapter among North Carolina alumnx. The February meeting, held at the home of Marianne Schul, was devoted to completing plans for the visit of the P.AD and the chartering ceremony and to discussion of fu ture goals and projects. Under discussion were ideas for interesting area alums in joining and the possibility of initiating special alumnx. As there are no Greek letter chapters in the state, we've been pooling our information on conditions of the area campuses and are most enthusiastic in our hopes for an active chapter of our own in the future! We're also checking into the forma tion of a Panhellenic association in Winston- Salem. We'd like to invite both Gamma Phi alumna new to the area and those already here to join with us.

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.

I will try this day to live a simple, sincere and serene life, repelling promptly every thought of discontent, anxiety, discouragement, impurity, self-seeking; cultivating cheer fulness, magnanimity, charity and the habit of holy silence; exercising economy in expenditure, generosity in giving, carefulness in conversation, diligence in ap pointed service, fidelity to every trust and a child-like faith in God.
