160 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE Ruby Carver Emerson Grand President

By NELLIE BIRKENHEAD MANSFIELD, Omicron

O PRESENT to the members of Sig­ ma Kappa our new Grand President T is a privilege so delightful that my very pen laughs with happiness as the picture takes shape. I am writing particularly to the new members of Sigma, because to those longer in the bond, Ruby Carver Emerson needs no introduction. Mrs. Emerson is the only daughter of our beloved Founder, Mary Low Carver. Little wonder is it that because of the numerous calls of her mother's many sorority friends, the small Ruby learned the Greek alphabet almost before she knew the English one. Like her mother, Ruby Carver was graduated from Colby College and is a member of Alpha chapter. Later she married R. Dwight Emer­ son, a graduate of the University of Ver­ mont, whose father was the head of the history department in that institution. Boston Alumna:: chapter gives Mr. Emerson the gr_ade of A as a Sigma Kappa brother and fnend. The Emersons live in Cambridge, Mass., ' and have a summer home in North Easton.

Encore, Alice By EDITH PORTER LAPISH, Psi becoming Grand President after Audrey Dykeman's resignation in June. Everybody knows Alice was born a Sigma Kappa of a lovely Sigma Kappa mother and it also seems she is a born secretary. Her last term as secretary, 1930-32, from which she was forced to resign because of the pressure of too much · work and too many worries, proved her to be more-than-efficient -more-than-loyal. It would really take a new word to describe the zest Alice has for writ­ ing Sigma Kappa letters and doing Sigma Kappa deeds. That, however, is a digression, as people are wont to digress in talking about Alice. The fact that backs up the assertion she is a born secretary is that she fits in so perfectly into those tales of the mailman who goes walking on his holiday and the sailor who hires a row boat as soon as the ship docks. Alice just resigned as secretary of Friends' School in Washington, D.C., and in order to more fully enjoy her freedom, she becomes secretary of Sigma Kappa. This month Alice is going to sail with her Alice Hersey Wick smart husband for Europe, where Dick is Grand Secretary going to do some special work for the gov­ ernment and Alice is going to haunt the HE best news in many a day broke shops.

Bar Harbor, Me., August 5, 1935. Dear Miss Cheney: Will you kindly express to Sigma Kappa the deep appreciation of the members of the Maine Sea Coast Missionary Society, as expressed in their annual meeting, for the continued loyal interest and generous support of the work of the Mission by the Sigma Kappa Sorority? What their help has meant to the people of the coast, through the services of the splendid people whom their gifts have made possible is something which cannot well be expressed in mere words. The contrast between the type of person thus available as over against the average inexperienced school teacher who would usually be sent to such fields (if one went at all) is something for which the people have reason to be thankful indeed. Also for the lovely gifts which are showered into the office at Christmas time and make the hearts of the kiddies to rejoice and the hearts of others perhaps to beat more warmly under lovely knitted articles to ward off the biting winter gales-all this is indeed a blessing and the Mis­ sion would heartily thank the donors on behalf of those who receive the gifts. Cordially, ). HOMER NELSON, Secretary Board of Directors of Ma.IDe Seacoast Missionary Society.
