A side light on the Theta conven-
ton that was interesting to the S. r.
was the resemblance of Betty Newson,
grand president, 10 bOIla HOPKINS, a
former Topeka girl. who is also a
Theta. They are both tall, have really
blonde hair, blue eyes, and are alto
gether attra ctive. They possess that
invaluable asset, a sense of humor.
combined with a brilliant mentality.
Another coincidence is that they are
both lawyers.
