EDITORIALS Of Fine Response Early in the summer the Editor and the Assistant Editor held a conference, and as a result letters went out to clubs and cha~ters asking for information about Pi Phis active in war work. The Editor expected an interestmg response, but had never hored for the sort of landslide of letters which came in. They were fascinating reading, all 0 them, whether they told of nationally prominent women or modestly said "the girls are all working for the war-but so are Pi Phis everywhere!"' Herewith we give you much of the news, many of the pictures which came, and more will appear in the March issue. PJease k~p the news coming to us. We want news of what Pi Phis are doing, and we want news of Pi Phi relatives, too. Here is the splendor of bravery on the front lines; here is the simple courage of those who stay at home and wait; here is many a heartbreak, too. Chapter letters and alumnre letters arc full of war news, too-not to mention a flood of weddings. We have used one lovely wedding picture to typify that phase of the war as it is affecting our girls. To all who so generously gave of their time to send in material, the ARRow offers its thanks. Hail and Farewell An announcement to be regretted by all readers of the ARROW is that Mercedes Baker )orguJesco has resigned as editor of From Pi Phi Pens, which she has given to us so enter· tainingly for ten years. Her work will be greatly missed by us aU-it has given sparkle and color to the pages of the ARROW. Her promptness and unfailing cooperation have been a constant joy. We are fortunate in having an experienced person to take her place, aJready working on the editorial staff of the ARRow as a contributor-Marjorie Bright Sharpe, Texas A. Mrs. Sharpe is now living in Boston, where her husband, Dr. Walter Sharpe, is on the staff of the Public Health Service Hospital. She has done book reviews for the New York Times, and is now doing features for the Boston Herald . Her department in this issue was done in haste to meet our deadline, shortly after her appointment, yet is interesting indeed, and promises line things for the future. A New Plan We present in the following pages a new plan wbich is being carried out for the Fraternity by Maria Leonard, Indiana r , Dean of Women at the University of Illinois. Intended pri­ marily for active chapter programs, the material presented wiH interest alumna! as well, in these days when many of us grope blindly for comfort and release from pressure of war·time anxieties and home problems. Here is a real service which Pi Beta Phi can give to her mem· bers. In a world of tragic events and bewildered uncertainty as to the future, Miss Leonard has much arresting thought for us all. Former Grand Secretary The Editor expresses the feeling of Grand Council and of Pi Phis everywhere in VOicing sorrow at the passing of Elda Smith, IIIinois E, former Grand Secretary. The deepest sym· pathy of the Fraternity goes to her sister, Elberta Smith, also Illinois E. Pi Beta Phi treasures the memory of an always loyal and devoted member. We Lose a Friend For years which go back long before the present editorship one man has been in charge of the work for the ARROW at the Banta Publishing Company in Menasha, Wisconsin- 141 142 THE DECEMBER ARROW Harold Bachmann, of Appleton, Wisconsin. He has been a faithful friend of Pi Beta Phi, good right hand of the ARROW Editor. Now he is in the Army! and into that entirely new life the most sincere of good wishes from the ARROW foHow him.
