Sisterhood (Philanthropic and Educa- tional Organization) met Saturday, January 13, at the home of Mrs. George Dean, to celebrate the 121st an- niversary of the founding of the sisterhood in 1869. As members gathered at 9:30, the hostess, assisted by Mrs. A.D. Darby, served refreshments. In the absence of the president, Mrs. E.L. Davis, vice-president, presided over the ritual and business meeting. Following the treasurer's report members voted to send contributions to each of the four P.E.O. projects and to donate as well to the Old Opera House, Apollo Theatre, Shenandoah Women's Center, Bethany House, and Sugar Creek Children's Home. After hearing a report from educa- tion committee chairman, Mrs. John Eidsness, the chapter voted to sponsor a local graduate student for a grant from the program for continuing education of the international chapter of P.E.O. The chairman reminded members that they may contribute individually to a memorial fund for Mrs. J.B. (Ed- na) Phillips, chapter member who died in December. The fund will be given to one of the P.E.O. projects in her memory. Mrs. B.F. Miles, program chair- man, announced that the next meeting is scheduled for Saturday, February 10, at the home of Mrs. Roy Vernon, near Summit Point. Speaker for the meeting will be Cheryl Reid, a member of P.E.O. Chapter AX, Win- chester, Va. Following the business meeting, Mrs. Dean read a paper on the foun- ding of P.E.O. in 1869, prepared by Mrs. Sam Heryford, a member of Chapter HP, Estes Park, Colo., and a former member of Chapter S. The author listed a number of events of 1869, to set the stage for the founding of P.E.O. by a group of seven girls at Iowa Wesleyan College. For example, that was the year of the opening of the Suez Canal, the completion of the first trans-continental railroad line in the United States, and the first inter- collegiate football game between Princeton and Rutgers. There were no free schools, and the forerunner of our high schools were the academy and the young ladies' finishing school or seminary. Only well-to-do families could afford to send girls to these schools since the charge was $3 per term. Girls lucky enough to be graduated from the seminary felt that their education was complete, and it was a most unusual young lady who went to college. Virginia Alice Cottey, another outstanding member of the organiza- tion, was a mid-western school teacher with no reputation to speak of. But she kept her vision alive with her life's savings of $3,000 and great energy and created Cottey College for Women, Nevada, Mo. And she did it when higher education for women was laughed at, considered wasted time and money.
