president from Caroline Reader;
Beverly Morgan will relieve May

as president of Alaska Kappa

her sorority badge. Shirley Goed
de received a silver baby cup
from the chapter for her great
expectation.
Roll call for the cultural pro

giving a description of some char
acter whom the members were to
identify. Such notables as George
Washington, Scarlet O’Hara, John
ny Appleseed and local figures
were characterized.
Then, as the main event of the
program, each member gave from
memory some worthy selection.
The Gettysberg Address, selec
tions from the Bible and from

Vision of Sir Launfal, and a prov
erb were among the recitations
