ELECT NEBRASKA GIRL
NATIONAL VICE-PRES.
Ada Slidworthy Chosen For High
PS'tion at Mortarboard
Convrntion.
Ada Stidworthy. '21, was elected
national Vice President of Motorboard
senior girls' honorary sorority at the
convention held at Columbus, Ohio,
this week. She was Xebraska Uni
versity's first representative at a na
tional Mortorboard convention as the
local Black Masque chapter of Mor
torboard did not become affiliated
with the national society until this
year.
Election as vice-president of the
national honorary organization comes
as a distinct honor to the Black
Masques and to Xebraska as well as
the representative. The next conven
tion will be held in two years when
all the national officers have arrange
ments made for their attendance.
Universities represented at the Colum
bus convention were as follows: Xe
braska. Minnesota, Michigan. Cornell.
Swarthmore. Derauw, Illinois'. Knox
College, Kentucky, Missouri. Colorado,
and Ohio State.
The Black Masque society of 1920
at Xebraska had the honor of becom
ing the charter chapter on the local
campus but the thirteen senior girls
who are at present active members
are the first to actively work under
the national association.
Ohio state Mortorboard chapter
made the national convention a pleas
ant and profitable one. A spread at
the home of the president of the
Ohio chapter was followed by informal
gatherings at the homes of the dif
ferent members. After the business
meetings, a luncheon open to junior
and senior girls followed and the
delegates were guests at a tea where
an effort was made to have them
meet the most representative girls
at Ohio state. The alumni members
also assisted in the entertainment of
th visitors.
In February W. a convention for
the nationalization of senior honorary
societies for women was held at Syra
cuse. Delegates from Ohio. Cornell.
Michigan, Syracuse and Swarthmore
were present. At this meeting, tho
pin of the Ohio state chapter was
adopted and later, at the second na
tional convention during April 1913
at Ann Harbor, the name of the Ohio
society was chosen for the national
organization.
The Black Masque chapter of Mor
torboard has been active at Xebrask i
as a local organization for mnny years.
Thirteen girls are selected at the end
of their junior year for membership
each year, and are publicly "tapped"
the afternoon of Ivy Day. t
