A Centennial Special <91R-n1 U UIS a magic number from 'Ocean to Ocean' for both Pi Beta Phi and Canada this year for it is the figure that signals 100 years of being-for this Fraternity and for the national federa­ tion of Canadian States. Mindful of this centennial coincidence, Manitoba Alpha Pi Phis at the University of Manitoba, \Xfinnipeg, Canada arranged a Centennial year inaugural event in \'<finnipeg on January 7, 1967. Significantly twelve young ladies of Manitoba Alpha formed the first group of Pi Phi initiates to take vows of membership in 1967 and 100 alumna: joined in the special festivities. It was a memorable evening in what promises to be a year of memorable events for Pi Beta Phi and for Canada.

Printed io the United States of America off t.he One word began to look a bit odd to your editor as work on this magazine progressed. Anyone who works with words has probably had the experience-it sometimes becomes necessa ry to use the same word ovec and ovec again in a short space of time- finally there develops a combined optical-mental illusion that leads the writer to muse, "is that really the right way to spell it ?" The word? Centennial! + + ->- There is more than one facet to th at cent ennial coincidence shared by Pi Beta Phi and Canada. About th e time that we were preparing this ARROW copy in February, material came from Montreal to the desk where I work as a weekly newspaper editor. It was a handsome booklet on EXPO-67 which is taking shape in Montreal. This World's Fair type exposition is being promoted in connection with the Canadian Centennial. The coincidence sprang from the fact that its opening date is April 28, 1967- the founding date of Pi Beta Phi and consequently the official opening date for our own Centennial observance. + + + Centennial year for Pi Phi is not unlike a well cut diamond in its many faceted celebration. The big Convention, June 25-30, will undoubtedly provide the most sparkling aspect of the whole year, However, there are other developments that are to be memorable. A new History of Pi Bela Phil in the compilation stage for several years, is now in th e process of being readied for type setting and its publication is due for late this year or early the following year, At one time Grand Council and THE ARROW Editor had discussed having a Centennial issue of this magazine as well as the History. The idea was abandoned last fall in the interest of economy and because th ere would have been duplication of effort and overlapping in reporting. Before [h e decision was made to drop the Centennial issue plans for Ol j:, ma~J.zint:, Chapter ARROW· Correspondents had been asked to prepare a brief hi story of their chapters and we have gone ahead with these in this issue in the space usua lly occupied by the Fraternity Forum. W e felt this would be of interest to all alumnre as well as valuable reference material. Over eighty of the chapters are represented in this section, whi ch begins on page 39. + + For over half of the century that our Fratern ity has been in existence, its members have found a fulfill­ ment of its idea l of service in the Settlement School project, which is to be succeeded in our second cen­ tury by the Art and Craft Center th at has grown out of the original Pi Phi philanthropic project in Gatlin­ burg, Tennessee. ln the summer ARROW, the fin al "News from Little Pigeon" department report will in­ clude resumes on the Settlement School work, historical data and some interesting reminisc ing. Also due for an unveiling in that issue will be the winning "Centennial Design", chosen from those submitted by active chapter members to be used as a pictorial symbol of the Fraternity's meaning in terms of idealism, accomplishment, and goals . Maryla Waters, Massachusetts Alpha, is the designer. Maryla captured the spirit of this Fraternity with a remarkable depth of feeling and rare appreciation for the heritage of Pi Beta Phi and the challenge that lies ahead of it in the years to come. ->- ->- Stories that readers should find of interes t in this issue of THE ARROW include the one on Florence Ballinger Hamilton, Montana Alpha, who remembers a trek west by covered wagon as a six-year-o ld ; the news that three of the four 1966 SMU W omen of Achi evement awards went to Texas Beta Pi Phis; the naming of a Girl Scout Camp for a hard-working Arkansas Alpha Pi Phi and the unusual new project of the St. Louis Alumnre Club, its "Sign of the Arrow" Shop. In fact it seems to your editor that with each succeeding issue of THE ARROW we have news of our sisters' accomplishments that underlines the fact that the Fraternity is demonstrating the fruits of growth and positive achievement that should be expected to be in evidence on the occasion of a Centennial celebraHon. - D D S- 2 L Officers in Training Dorothy Weaver Morgan Louise Rosse, Kemp Dorothy Weaver Morgan and Louise Rosser Kemp represent a new concept in Pi Beta Phi adminis· trative procedure. They are officers in training. At the 1966 Convention of Pi Beta Phi, Mrs. Morgan, a former Grand Vice·President, who is currently National Panhellenic Conference Delegate, was endorsed by the Convention for the office of Grand Presi· dent. The same Convention endorsed Mrs. Kemp, Chapter House Corporations Director, for the office of Grand Treasurer. This action was taken following the announcement by Grand President Alice Weber Johnson and Grand Treasurer Olivia Smith Moore that they would not be candidates for re·election in 1967. During the past year Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Kemp have worked closely with Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Moore, familiarizing themselves with the duties and responsibilities of those offices. Nominations Are Wanted ..... This is the Centennial year for Pi Beta Phi. The 1967 Convention-Edgewater Beach Hotel, Chicago, Illinois, June 25·3{}-will climax the Centennial Celebration. Pi Beta Phi has had effective, dedicated and brilliant leadership for the past 100 years, and is looking focward to the same kind of leadership for the next 100 years. The National Nominating Committee welcomes, encourages, and seeks names of outstanding Pi Phis who may be in a position to devote at least two years to a challenging and rewarding leadership role in Pi Beta Phi. Pi Phis everywhere have the privilege of helping to direct our fraternity AND Pi Ph is everywhere also have the responsibility of considering carefully and objectively all those Pi Phis who by their previous experience, background and general competence may best provide the new oflicers which we will elect to carry on future fraternity programs and policies.
