He is president of a printing firm in Chicago* Women Educators Study Goals As Season Opens Alpha Theta chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma society, international organization of women educators, opened its 1968-1969 program of activities Tuesday evening, Oct. 14, at Washington elementary school, Harvard. Harvard members, under the direction of Ruth Dooley, were hostesses during the brief social hour preceding the formal meeting. Harvest symbols, in glowing autumn colors, decorated the refreshment tables. Dorothy Ullrich, president of Alpha Theta chapter, presided at the business meeting, with forty members responding to roll call. «, „ In a concise summary of goals ||for the year, Mrs. Ullrich rei §ninded members of their opportunity to re-examine the twin ' iareas of personal values, and Rvalues of our current culture, as we move toward the final third of the twentieth century. Nita Cherry, corresponding secretary, urged prompt and particular care in acting on information outlining the longsought insurance program. This program was endorsed unanimously in August at the international convention in New York City. Alice Clark, acting for the program committee, introduced Dorothy «O'Connor, a faculty member in the English department at Crystal Lake Community high school, who presented a moving review of "The Plague," by Albert Camus, 1958 Nobel prize winner for literature. Miss O'Connor stated that this selection, "in keeping with the theme," A Critical Analysis of Values", probably has greater relevance in 1968 than it did at the time of its publication in France in 1947. Both the Camus personality, with its association with danger and daring in the French Resistance during World War n, and the Camus' philosophy of the here and now, as opposed to the traditional Christian view of here and hereafter, appeals particularly t6 yoUng people seeking some meaning in life. His abilily td deal with reality by suggesting that personal fulfillment may come through helping to relieve the suffering of others strikes a positive note and a responsive chord in the reader. Members from McHenry present for the meeting were Misses Carolyn Bauer, Alice Clark, Leta Clark and Nellie Doherty and Mesdames Marion Brolin, Dorothy Gibbs, Helen Jurack, Dolores Krueger and Dorothy Ullrich.
