HAT shall I say about her? Many of you know Irene and to those who W do this "testimonial" is unnecessary and quite inadequate. But to other Sigmas who do not, I'm trying to give a picture of Irene that will enable you to realize the value of her Sigma Kappa service, how un­ fortunate for us it is that she cannot continue, and how much you, personally, have missed in not knowing and working with her. Will you please get out your old TRIANGLE file for statistics on Irene Dickson McFarlane (Mrs. Adrian J.), Mu? Suffice it for me to say she has served her sorority well for years, having been a district counselor and province president before going on Grand Council in 1942 as Grand Counselor. At that time Irene and Ade had no children and she could give Sigma Kappa the time that a Grand Council job necessitates, but with the advent of Ann, now two and a little over, her duties increased. Seattle is affiicted like most of the other urban centers of the United States and no domestic help is available. The work of Grand Counselor is so heavy that Irene found Irene Dickson McFarlane, M u (Mrs. Adrian ].} it impossible to do the "paper" work and her share of traveling. She felt very keenly Irene is a "pint sized" edition-she is very not being able to give more time so you see short and slender and has a lovely figure she has a strong sense of the obligations that which doesn't require any dieting!

T IS a pleasure to introduce to Sigma Kappas everywhere our newly appointed I Grand Counselor, Juanita Piersol War­ ren, Alpha Gamma. Wife of Washington State Senator, Virgil A. Warren, Juanita is a capable, charming person, a true friend, and a loyal Sigma. Grand Council acted wisely when they chose her for this office. From her very earliest entrance into our fellowship, she has been a leader and an untiring worker for Sigma Kappa. From president of her pledge dass to Grand Coun­ sellor is indeed an advancement-but the years between have been a training period which has well equipped her to serve in this capacity. Those of us who had known Juanita in college rejoiced when in 1934 she carne from Walla Walla to make her home in Spokane. Since that time she has been an active force in our local alumnre chapter. In it she has held many offices including social chairman, presi­ dent, and representative to city Panhellenic. In this last position, she won many friends (Portrait by P.rna Btrt N tiJon, Ar) for Sigma Kappa. Not only has she proved MrJ. Virgil A.

I've stared at this typewriter ten minutes trying to think how to make myself im­ pressive. I've decided, instead, to be honest. The scholastic world was not shaken by _ my career at the University of Oregon. I did manage to win my "0" pin for being a devoted, if uninspired, slavey on the Daily Emerald for four years, and became a mem­ ber of Theta Sigma Phi, journalism honorary. Thereafter I worked on newspapers in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Arizona for more years than I care to tally. This was not, primarily, a devotion to career, but to gro­ ceries. It isn't considered humane to starve one's child. I like to eat too. Four years ago I married an aeronautical engineer, a Washington Beta, who is an elegant husband except during football sea­ son. We built a house in Seahurst, a suburb of Seattle, overlooking Puget Sound (invita­ tions hereby extended) . A year ago, after a little hospital session, I retired. All my friends said, "You'll never be happy as a mere housewife after your -exciting life!" And I just laugh and laugh. I love it. My sole frustration stems from the fact my mother did not bequeath to me the proper chromosomes to generate her "green thumbs." I have not produced any potential Sigma Mrs. Broussais C.

HE Annual Meeting of The Maine Seacoast Mis$ionary Society this year T promises to be a very happy occasion. This is the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Society. Since this article will reach most Sigma Kappas about the time of the meeting, we have decided to prepare for you a short historical account of the Maine Sea­ coast Mission. The story opens in the winter of 1888 when a college boy came to Outer Long Island to tf:ach school to earn the necessary amount for college. Finding no religious services, he conducted meetings in the school house with a resulting revival.

As a result, early this Spring the Mission purchased the adjoining house which is to be the home of the Superintendent and family.
