THE CONVENTION PICTURE • • • • • • The convention picture of a woman's fraternity conclave is a composite of many pictures held in the mind's eye-and the composition depends on the individual, for each sees and remembers that which fits her personality and her concepcion of fraternity. The common bond of fraternity does make some pictures "particularly Pi Phi" for every member. The two here are representative of these-a distinguished Pi Phi family with a record of interest and devoted service spanning three generations-and four Pi Phi sisters who have given the Fraternity a quality of excellence in the unselfish sharing of the gifts of their strength of character, keen intellect and leadership potential. THREE ADElES . • • Adele Taylor Alford, center, D.C.
