(Pinchhitting)
Hello Folks:

h6llO OlkS.
Her man Godfrey" did not stop
to think of what he was getting
into when he promised to pinch hit
for our Sal, who is up to her pretty
neck in other work and mentioning.
There is just so much to tell about
that none is likely to receive ade-
uuate treatment. The high light
of the week was the A. K. A. Re-
gional Convention. 1t was simply
wonderful. One of the features of
the convention was the display of
cooperation extended to Eta Chap
ter of A. X. A. Sorority by the
three fraternities. The Alphas in
spite of inclement weather condi-
tions were able to entertain Eta
Chapter and visiting delegates with
a very nice and enjoyable pow-wow
thanks to the untiring efforts of
John Lawrence, John Patton, Bill
Cassius, Raymond Cannon and Rob-
ert Gardner. The Omegas retail
ated with a highly entertaining
cocktail party at the Sterling Club.
Everyone present still talks of the
enjoyable time they had at both
the above mentioned social func-
tions.
Not often has the Twin Cities
had the opportunity to play host
to such a display of feminine pull
chritude as that which gathered in
convention at Cofman Memorial
Union on the University of Mime
sofa campus. The visiting sorors
were grand-and beautiful too. You
can just bet that they did not
leave our fair cities without taking
many of the hearts of our local
SWANS with them.
From my personal observation
l can say that l think Soror Eunice
Randall from Chicago stole more
hearts than any other individual
soror. Confdentially, her man
Godfrey did not have much of
chance to get close to her because
of the many admirers surrounding
her at all affairs. My, my-wasn't
Hattie Lask of st. Louis cute? OF
course, to be perfectly honest with
you we all can say that our own
local sorors were just as lovely as
the visiting delegates. What you
bet!
Hats off to Bassilus Pauline AL
exander and Eta Chapter for giving
one of the SWEETEST formal parties
ever held in the Twin Cities. My,
my, my-such loneliness. 1t was
enough to make a weasel break a
logging chain! All joking aside,
the local A. K. A. Chapter really
did themselves proud.
They say that the A. X. A. after
party at Johnson's Tea Room in
St. Paul was something that should
not have been missed. Her man
Godfrey will not tell why he missed
it but there was some lovely person
at the bottom of it-what you bet?
Soror Eva Lee arrived in the
Twin Cities in time for the conven-
ton. Her house guest here with
her has all that could be desired
in any one person. She just simply
oozes charm and personality. l
do not see how the East permitted
her to come West. You guess the
number of hearts she will take back
with her. Snap shots of last week
end affairs:
Myrtle Wormley making all af
fairs with r. C. Byron Rife
throwing heavy 1--WE on a certain
lovely person. Me thinks he sound
ed very high-schoolish.
Pledge Grover Ingram up on a
high ladder fixing the lights for the
Alpha indoor pOw-wow. Ivy
Leaves Collier and Murphy doing
chores for big sisters.
Though the audience was about
rained out the Follies given by the
Council of Negro Students was
mighty fine. Robert Schoffner's
swan dance was a WOW but the
dance by Rosamond Collier, Sylvia
Ross, and Janeabelle Murphy was
too cute for words. We have lot
of talent here in the Twin Cities.
Who was Robert Gardner so close
to all last weekend?
