Seeks Thelma
Who Ih Thelma? And where Is
she now?
Malcolm MasDonald, British
high commissioner for South
east Asia stationed in Singa
|»ore, would like to know.
Mr. MacDonald has forgotten
her last name. He remembers,
however, that he met her at the
University of Oregon when he
was a member of the Oxford de
bate squad here in the 1020’s.
In fact he “fell” for her, Mac
Donald told Austin Flegei of
Portland when he met MacDon
ald in Singapore recently. Mac
Donald remembered they had
breakfast and lunch together
and went for a walk while he
was here.
A peep into the 1927 Oregana
reveals ten Thelmas. Which was
she?
Was she Kitchen of Alpha Chi
Omega? Millien or Burton of
Alpha Oamma Delta? or Park
of Chi Omega?
Or could she have been one of
the independents — Perozzi,
Itykman, Stephens, Thompson,
Kankin or Sauvuisi? MacDon
ald doesn't know.
