War Activities
During the past year. Alpha Gamma Theta has been taking its share in the various war activities
on the campus and in the city. All the girls are members of the Patriotic League and when the Patriotic
League Glee Club was organized, four of the girls were successful in gaining membership. As a
Patriotic League unit, the sorority met regularly during the summer to sew for the Belgian relief of the
League. This is work which the girls did with much enthusiasm and enjoyment and it will continue to
be their work during the coming year.
In addition the sorority has devoted much time to Red Cross work, making surgical dressings and
convalescent robes. Knitting bags have been ever present and socks and sweaters ha\'e been turned
in at frequent intervals to the city chapters.
Individual members are contributing their ser\iccs in many different ways. One is doing volunteer
motor service with the Red Cross, another is in the office of the Ohio Food Administration, and still
another aided in food demonstrations about the cit}-.
Two members of the sorority are doing government work as Laboratory Technicians. Helen Eisele
is connected with the General Hospital No. 19, Azalea, North Carolina, and Ruth Williams is stationed
in the General Hospital No. 17 at Markleton, Pa.
Besides these activities mentioned, each girl is quietly doing her part by endeavoring to conform
her life to the altered conditions which the war presents.
