Mystery Writer Reveals Career Before Journalism Honorary Highlighting the eighteenth an nual Matrix Table sponsored by Theta chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, national women’s professional jour nalism fraternity, Friday night was a talk by Helen Ross. Mrs. Ross, Seattle mystery writer, told mem bers and friends of the organiza tion, about her personal experi ences as a writer and the future for writers in the Northwest. A mystery story writer must be accurate, the speaker emphasized. You can’t kill a person with the wrong technique on paper. If you do, your readers will tell you about it, she declared. Arriving at mystery story writ ing via the channel of love, Mrs. Ross amused the group with tales of the different methods she used to kill the victims in her mystery novels. While writing love stories, she was more interested in the mystery than in the love angle. Af ter rejections of her love stories, she tore up clinches and took up bodies. Psychoanalysts can be used ad vantageously in stories these days, Mrs. Ross said. The writer must know it well, she warned, or not use it at all. The market is crowded with writers who are would be psychoanalysts. “Write about something with which you are familiar,” the speak er continued. If you know a local ity, certain types of personality, or situations well, you can embody them into stories which will seem more convincing to your reader, she said. Mrs. Ross has used many personal experiences as plots for her murders. Writers, like detectives, must al ways look forward and tackle the problems at hand, Mrs. Ross de clared. However, publishers will ac cept good material at any time and At ordinary room temperature eggs lose as much freshness in three days as they do in the refrig erator in two weeks. no problem will be too great if a person will always do his best. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. George S. Turnbull, adviser of Theta Sigma Phi. Mrs. Turnbull was given a gift by chapter presi dent Maryann Thielen in apprecia tion of the work that she has done for the group. Miss Thielen was mistress of cer emonies and introduced the out standing senior from University high school, Diane Richards; out standing senior in journalism from Eugene high school, Pat Kurley; outstanding freshman in journal ism, Anita Holmes; outstanding sophomore in journalism, Barbara Heywood; and the 10 new Theta Sigma Phi pledges. Wayne Sherwood, senior in mu sic, and Claire Lewis, junior in mu sic, entertained with selections from the "Beggar’s Opera,” which is to be presented on the campus next month, and modern favorites.
