How about that?!

"One of the unique features of the eveing was the radio program of Chi Omega songs, broadcasted over KTHS by a group of Chi Omegas. A few words of greeting by Mary Love to Chi Omegas everywhere were also entrusted to the microphone."

The radio station, KTHS (call letters standing for "Come to Hot Springs), had their offices on the top floor of the Arlington Hotel in Hot Springs, where the Convention was held.

As a break from the regular business of the 1926 National Convention, held at the Grand Hotel in Mackinac Island, MI, the alumnae played the actives in softball! The game was called after the 1st inning -- the score: 4-1. Who won?

a.) alumnae
b.) actives

I believe it was the actives. I feel really bad if this is incorrect because I saw the ball used during my trip to the Executive Headquarters.

Ohhhhh hanover! So close!!! Nope, the alums won. Mary Love Collins pitched.
