The new main lodge al Ihe Sechell, B.C. camp is designed to fit into the rustic landscape, while the interior provides the finest facilities for both campers and staff.

Every member of Gamma Phi Beta must surely feel a warm glow in her heart as another summer of camping comes to a close. Almost three hundred little girls were able to spend time out of doors playing, swimming, hiking and taking part in all the traditional activities of a summer camp. Most of you can remember pleasant summer evenings with old and new friends. Perhaps around a campfire, singing or playing games. Many of our campers would never have such an experience were it not for Gamma Phi Beta. You, and especially the members of the Denver and Van couver Camp Boards, have made this possible. The many hours spent on our philanthropy each year bear fruit in the joy and enthusiasm expressed by the campers in their letters of thanks. One camper writes:

Dear Gamma Phi Beta:

I want to thank you for your wonderful prizes and for teach ing me the lovely songs you did. The horse back riding was fun and so was the hike and for all the refreshments every day. the I loved the games we did. I like mostly crafts because of neaklesses I made and the plaster paris. I liked the camp fires and the nature hunt and I learned a lot from this camp.

7 Pioneers in Alask s Bush Country

By Mary Ann Meabs Colliver (Nevada '57)

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to pioneer in this modern, mechanized age? Perhaps it's even inconceiva ble that people still do pioneer. When friends ask about our lives in Alaska's "bush country" and hear the tales that can only come from bush living, they know that the pioneer spirit still exists. Aniak, which we choose to call home, is primarily an Indian village located about 350 air miles due west of Anchorage at the confluence of the Aniak and Kuskokwim Rivers. The vil lage has been on the map since the early 1890's and inhabited only by various Eskimo and Indian tribes until the 1930's when a trading post was established. Our population is ap proximately 300 now, of which only about 75 are Caucasian, the rest being Eskimo and Indian. Bob is an electronics technician with R.C.A.

it is to In thinking over my summer at Sechelt, difficult pin point exactly what made the counselors so attached to the camp and its work. When we arrived at the end of June, none of us had ever met before and each had her own hazy conception of what the camp might be. We all realized that these children were not raised in the same environment as ours, but we really didn't know luhat to expect. As each of three groups arrived and then, after 12 days, left again, lue became increasingly aware of how fresh, imaginative, and irarm each child was. Before her arrival, we received a report on each child telling the bare facts about her. It was a real joy how wonderfully one little girl could let herself go and have a marve lous time, when her report said she was an introvert and would have trouble adjusting. Each night we had to playfully chase her around the dorm, and then toss her into bed. At meals she talked constantly, sometimes gesturing wildly with her utensils.

The beginning of the fall season found us again at the home of Ruth Watts for a salad luncheon on her lovely patio. Our enthusiasm failed to be dampened by an unusual California shower. We moved into the house to hear the inspiring talk by our most special Guest of Honor, Mrs. Beatrice Hill Wittenberg. Mrs. Wittenberg spoke of the problems facing sororities and fraternities in the colleges today. This is a subject of special interest to us all, and we went away with a much better under standing of the situation. Those of us who had not had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Wittenberg in the past were most happy to have this pleasure. This luncheon, which we hope will also become an annual affair, enabled us to welcome many new alumnae from the area.

FT. LAUDERDALE Sees New Chapter House Open

At long last Fort Lauderdale alumnas saw a dream materialize when the doors of a lovely new chapter house swung open at Florida State University this fall. Our years of saving the proceeds from rummage sales and family parties enabled us to send a dona tion to the house corporation of Beta Mu. Now that Gamma Phi Beta is at last on the march through Province VIII, we aim to join in assisting all our new chapters. The summer was one of informal gatherings. Our annual mother-daughter luncheon was held in June at Pier 66. We were delighted to welcome a new Rollins alumna to our ranks�Ginny Lawrence. Both Fairfield County Panhellenic, of which Evelyn Stowell Jensen (Nebraska) is president, presents she and Ginny Howard (Gettysburg and Florida check to the University of Connecticuf's Stamford Branch.

Delighting tiK-ts was a 1908 model Rambler which conveyed guests from the lakefront to the house where they were greeted by a Southern "colonel" and given name tags with magnolias and miniature picture hats. Guests were received by Mrs. Guy, Mrs. Robert Drouet, alumna? social chairman, and Mrs. Charles A. Hurth of New Orleans, Alumnae Director of Province VIII. They wore long frocks of pastel colored lace and net as did all the members of the house party. The "Plantation Tea" was a tremendous success and we next turned our eyes toward September and rush. Besides our monthly business meetings, we have started a monthly bridge game where we can really relax and "talk sorority.*' A Bar-B-Q was held for our husbands in July.

40 NEW ORLEANS Holds Annual Party

The New Orleans alumnae chapter of Gamma Phi Beta may be small in attendance, but our few active alumnae are thoroughly enjoying their membership. In addition to our usual evening meetings at homes and occasional luncheons in French Quarter restaurants, we have made several trips to Baton Rouge to participate in affairs for the new chapter at Louisiana State University. We are happy to welcome this first collegiate chapter in our area. In May we had our annual spring husband-wife party. This year the affair began with a champagne party at the home of Mrs, Will Miller. Later we adjourned to the Blue Room of the Roosevelt Hotel for an evening of dinner, dancing and entertainment by Frankie Laine. Our latest gathering was a luncheon held June nth at the home of Mrs. John C. Fuechsel. Guests at the party were the New Orleans members of the chapter at Louisiana State University. New Orleans alumnce spend a gala evening with their husbands as guests each spring.
