Delta Zeta "Dream Girl" Recording

A song contest that was the feature of Delta Zeta's Silver Anniversary in 1927 yielded "Dream Girl of Delta Zeta," a song written by Juanita Kelly Bednar, Knox (IL) - Nu, which was later recorded and appeared on the radio. Juanita Bednar penned many other songs during her life, was Delta Zeta's National Director of Public Relations from 1952-1958, and was on the board of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, also writing that organization's national song. A longtime personal friend of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, Carl Sandburg, she was instrumental in preserving his birthplace in Galesburg, Illinois and was president of the Carl Sandburg Association.
