My stack of unanswered letters presented a more worthwhile plan but after writing three letters, I still had no ideas for a column. Thus I switched to the theory: "A change is as good as a rest." I hemmed a skirt, that had been waiting for three weeks and that I probably won't wear until July. While I sewed, I listened to lively music, hoping the beat would stimulate a flow of thought, It didn't. During lunch, I watched two game shows on TV to take my mind off my problem: perhaps, I The 46th Founders Day banquet of the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority was held Tuesday at the Exeter curling club. The banquet opened with the singing of 0 Canada, a toast to the Queen, the opening Ritual, the Beta Sigma Phi grace which was read by all followed by a delicious roast beef dinner. Pat Fletcher, president of Xi Gamma Nu and Mary Ann Topp, president of Xi Alpha Pi in- troduced the head table guests and vice-presidents Marian 46:L44,:p Odds n' Ends finish the laundry before four. After supper, I relaxed in front of the television until eight o'clock. Then I decided the foolishness had to end. "You've got to get down to business and write something before the whole day is wasted," I told myself firmly, "But first I need another cup of coffee." I finally resumed my position in front of the typewriter with the blank sheet of paper staring defiantly back at me. ,Just when I considered giving up, I recalled another tidbit of advice from the manual: "Write what you feel." It is now nine o'clock. and I'm writing a column about not being able to write a column, Jewels, Exemplar Ritual and Order of the Rose Ritual were presented.

This degree is received after four years in the Ritual of Jewels Chapter, Present awards at banquet When I woke up this morning, I felt ambitious. I couldn't drive anywhere, because my car was in the garage. The sky threatened rain, and when I opened the window, the air felt damp. The weather didn't encourage walking, "This is my chance!" I thought to myself. "If I want to go away • for a few days in May, I'll have to write some extra columns in April, and today is the day I'll start." After breakfast, I sat down at my typewriter. The only sound was the hum of the kitchen clock. From the window, I noticed the street was almost deserted, and nothing was happening to distract my attention. This morning seemed to be a perfect time for me to concentrate on writing. What happened? Nothing! I stared at the typewriter for twenty minutes, but no ideas came. Suddenly, I remembered the advice in the writers' manual: "If you have trouble starting to write, jot down anything that comes into your mind — a shopping list, a letter, anything to start ideas flowing on paper." I began listing the groceries that I needed, but then I asked myself, "Dummy, why are you wasting ink on a grocery list? 4,4 had been concentrating too Bard. I even washed my breakfast and lunch dishes, thus straying from my firm belief that dishes should be done only once a day. Occasionally, when the phone rings, I'm irritated because it causes an interruption. I'm sure you've all had similar ex- periences. However, today I welcomed the friendly ring, and I chatted longer than was necessary. During the con- versation, the blank sheet of paper in the typewriter stared at me. Around three o'clock, I remembered the pile of dirty clothes in the closet, and being a stern conservationist, I hurried to McCarter and Donna .Tones welcomed new members. Highlights of the year were given by Bonnie Brooke and Louise Giffin. The Founder's Day pledge was read by Gay Lem- mond and Mary Jane Taylor, Following a recorded Foun- der's Day message Marlene Thornton sang "Follow the Rainbow Road", accompanied by Glenda Wagner. Following dinner some Alpha Pi members presented a skit, "Sororityville" and the Ritual of Secretary Yvonne Reynolds read the minutes of the last meeting. The Roll Call was answered by a scripture verse on "Faith. There was a thank you letter from the president of Eastern Pentecostal Bible College for the lovely quilt which was sent.
