CAPITOL CHAPTER No. 19
Chapter No. 19 appears headed for
another fine year with James H. Turn-
bull elected President and C. V. Rich
ardson, Vice President. Garland Hollo
well continues as Secretary-Treasurer.
We know these men are capable,
through watching them perform in
other organizations, but they will have
to step to come up to the mark set
by the departing officers. The Chapter
is especially indebted to the retiring
President, Paul Gemmell, for his devo
tion and sacrifices in nursing it through
its formative stages into the strong or
ganization it has now become.
A grand Christmas party was staged,
at the Womans Club on December 20
in conjunction with the PUC Chapter.
A group picture of this event is shown
on another page. We can’t resist mak
ing the observation that if those fam
ous old Roman Eaters looked up from
hell or down from heaven upon the
bounteous supply of roast turkey and
hot rolls, they must have had vagrant
thoughts of going A.W.O.L.
RO UND UP CHAPTER No. 24
The fact that no news items from
the Round Up Chapter No. 24 has not
been sent in to the editor of the
O.S.E.A., is not an indication that this
chapter has hibernated with the gophers
but just that all our writers have been
too busy to get it done.
A fter a summer recess the first meet
ing of the fall and winter season was

dleton on September 5 th. A fter a busi
ness meeting two reels of movies were

The meeting in October was post
poned a week so that our Executive

Old Age Retirement plan were answer
