King By BETTY DANIELSON “I'm going to stay home and do my homework, or I won't even be able to go to the dance!” murmured Queen Frances. The dance referred to is the Intersorority formal over which Frances Graessle will reign come Friday night. Not much of her time is her own, since she belongs to so many out- side organizations. She is a member of Zeta Phi Delta sorority, the Play- ers, the Sodality, the Speech associa- tion and is president of Omega Up- silon, national dramatic sorority. It is in the capacity of president of the Intersorority council, representing Zeta Phi Delta, that she will rule at the formal. In four years attendance at Mar- quette, Frances has not missed more than two home basketball or football games. She also managed to attend the Madison, Chicago and Notre Dame encounters. To Teach Dancing Besides school activities, she has kept up her dancing, piano and sing- ing lessons. She has been playing the piano for more than 10 years; her voice work started three years ago, and dancing, her favorite, has con- tinued 13 years. Upon graduation she intends to open a dance school in Milwaukee and will teach tap, toe, ballroom and character dancing. July 18 is the date set for her de- parture for the California World's fair. This trip will serve a double purpose, however, for there Frances intends to take further dancing training under a famous teacher, in preparation for her school. Heads O. U. Committee Chairman of the national conven- tion of Omega Upsilon is another of her titles. As such she will have to plan the program for the representa- tives of the other sororities when they arrive in Milwaukee June 22 for a four-day stay. There will be fneet- ings, luncheons and dinners, climaxed by a formal dance. “My greatest worry is getting escorts for the '40 prospective guests,” she exclaimed. The convention is to be held at the Astor hotel. These national meetings of the Omegas are held every other year. The last one met in Minneapolis in 1936. Frances was one of the Mar- quette representatives although she was only a sophomore at the time. Elections And Spring Dances Occupy Society Elections have added to the con- fusion wrought upon the sorority girls by talk of spring formats and exams. Uppermost in their minds at this time is the question of the so- rority officers for the coming year. At the “Senior Farewell” dinner at the Milwaukee Athletic club on Wednesday, May 10, Zeta Phi Delta sorority installed its new officers. Malinda Meyer relinquished the gavel to the new president, Gen Kobow. Other officers to take the oath of office were: Pat Scott, vice-presi- dent; Ruth Karlson, recording secre- tary; Betty Schmitt, corresponding secretary; Dorothy Slattery, treasur- er; Pat Hanley, intersorority council representative; Betty Danielson, historian; Edith Mulcahy, publicity. Chi Sigma Chi sorority elected officers at a meeting Monday, May 6. Ruth Keane was chosen president; Sororities Combine \To Make Dance Colorful Occasion By EDITH MULCAHY Silver moons, picket fences, and flowers will transform the Wisconsin club into an old-fashioned garden for the annual Intersorority dance Fri- day, May 12. This last formal event will find the members of the profes- sional and social sororities dancing to the music of Ted Wayne and his band. “Spring Songs,” the theme of the dance will be carried out in many of the gowns worn by both active and passive sorority members. A triple skirted white net dress with a fitted bodice has been chosen by Queen Frances Graessle, presi- dent of the Inter- sorority Council.

Summer formal will be worn at the Intersorority dance Fri- day night. Mary Ann Naessle, corresponding secretary; Eileen Redmond, record- ing secretary; Elaine Zimmerman, treasurer; Helen Krivitsch, interso- rority council representative; Jane Schiffler, publicity; Katherine Cox, historian. Because the members of Alpha Delta Eta are enrolled in the one year course of dental hygiene, elec- tions will not be held until the fall. However, this does not keep the girls from enjoying the spring social sea- son. The Green room of the Schroeder hotel, Saturday, May 6, was the scene of their spring formal dinner- dance. Pearl handled knives deco- rated with the sorority crest were the favors distributed to the escorts. On Wednesday, May 17, at a din- ner, Kappa Beta Gamma sorority will install the following officers: Mary Alice Cannon, president; Kate New Intersorority council repre- sentatives will be guests of honor at a breakfast to be given Sunday, May 14. These new members, elected by their respective sororities, will be entertained at the Surf. Incoming members will meet the present council. They will survey the field for possible arguments among the sororities. At this meeting the winner of the scholarship cup will be announced. This award goes to the sorority, social or professional, with the high- est cumulative average. Because of the unfairness of having honorary sororities competing with socials, the council last year decided to make two awards. Co-chairmen Genevieve Kobow and Mary Berry announce that the coun- cil will also install its newly elected officers. Frances Graessle will turn the meeting over to Mary Alice Can- non, the incoming president. Other officers are: Vice president, Elaine Zimmerman; secretary, Bea Winter- nitz, and treasurer, Miss Kobow. Daley, vice-president; Mary Barry, secretary; Jane Keogh, treasurer; Mary Margaret Dineen, intersorority council representative; Virginia Tier- ney and Lynn Gauslin, co-rushing chairmen; Janet Wilson, chancellor; Janet Gruesser, marshal; Mary Gallagher, historian. Secretary Comes Into Her Own; 6Tells Alt to Tribune Snooper By JEAN LAWRIE % Comes the end of the year, and with never a word about the cam- pus forgotten woman, the arbitrator and go-between, the dean's secretary. Her personality varies at Marquette; she may be blue-eyed and smiling like Katherine Bluemm of the Law School, or green-eyed and smiling like Estelle Thorne in the office of the College of Journalism. Invari- ably, you will notice, she is smiling. According to Katherine Bluemm, the only part of the University cam- pus, or rather the only campus on the University, worth its salt is the bit of the green visible from her win- dow. Miss Bluemm is secretary to F. X. Swietlik, dean of the Law school, and boasts the inspiring view of a greenhouse. Spring brings thoughts of clothes to Miss Bluemm; she pre- fers nice little afternoon dresses, and “definitely not sport clothes and sad- dle shoes.” Miss Bluemm has been with the Law school since September; former- ly she occupied the registrar's posi- tion at the Dental Clinic, and the change has been favorable as far as work goes. She is handy woman around the office, covering telephone calls, transcripts, dean's correspond- ence, which she says is plenty diver- sified, and recorder of student's rec- ords. , Business Ad Secretary Knits Graduating from West Division in 1934, Miss Bluemm at first planned studying nursing. The lure of imme- diate employment was stronger, how- ever, and today she is well satisfied to exercise first aid on the family dog and cat. “This is my first attempt,” said Catherine Stadler, rising from a well- filled desk in the Business Adminis- tration office to display the rose-col- ored dress she was wearing. Knit- ting is one of her hobbies, she said, and a “velveen” dress is in the mak- ing now. Reading is also one of her hobbies, “the interesting type of biography” being preferred. As for music, Miss Stadler will take “the classics for a steady diet.” She's Not Counting Looking no older than a school girl, this brown-haired secretary con- fessed she had been here for many years. “Too many to count,” she laughingly commented. But the ex- tra work preparing exam schedules has not yet turned her locks gray. Estelle Thorne, who is partial to green because it pleases her “boss,” (Continued on Page 7) Queen Frances Governs Societ At Sororities' Formal On Friday Intersorority Formal Paces Spring Social Season; Coeds Summer-ize McGovern Prefers Music, I Red Roses, Smiles, 1 Dancing I By GLADYS KELLY I For a formal dance-and a roman evening: 1 “Talk a little; dance a little; laugj little”- William P.
