r- L t Motto — Praestantia Aut Nihi Colors — Yellow and White. URINC; the forty-five years of existence of Callie Society the membership has steadily increased. When we took up the work in the beginning of the school year, we were greatly encouraged by adding to our number many new students. We therefore be- gan the work with a greater zeal and determination to make this the most successful of all Callie vears. Saturday evening programmes were immediately planned. These consist of musicals, readings, songs, debates and discussions of great authors and composers. The Journal is also a part of our weekly programmes. This gives everyone a chance to advance along editorial lines, and the work is so- divided that everyone may be benefitted. Th; 22nd of February was our usual Reunion Day. The morning programme given at this time was a Washington Day Programme, which was very appropriate. The most im- portant event of the evening was the presentation of a drama, entitled, The Romanceers, by Edmund Rostand, which proved most successful and spoke well for the dramatic work of the Society. All of the activities of the Society already spoken of tend toward the accomplishment of our aim, namely, to give all of the members a public literary training. The Service Flag which we had presented to the school was this year replaced by one of increased size and beauty. May the coming Calliepians fully realize the value of our motto, and may we be guided throughout life by that same motto, Excellence or Nothing. Il Pii jf Onf llundreJ-jnrty-thrre

[S this school year draws thus to a happy close, all of us have pleasant recollections in mind in connection with this year of our Y. M. C. A. work, which can never be forgotten. Truly, we may think of it as a year of promise and success such as our V. M. C. A. chapter has never known. Our 1918-19 cabinet inembers have worked splendidly and, as a result of their labor, they are proud to hold forth, as a model -.. tor coming years, our 100 ' ' Y. M. C. A. chapter this year. The cabinet who have worked so faithfully to this end are the following: Karl Berger Bible Band Committee Arthur Hoffman. .. .Membership Committee Rexford Noack Reputation Committee .Arthur Felker Finance Committee Ralph Anthony Athletics Committee Henry Hill Social Committee Victor J. Rosell, ' 10 President Robert L . .Xyhart, ' 19 Vice-President Myrlynn Shafer, ' 21 Secretary Karl Berger, ' 20 Treasurer J. Warren Knedler. .. Devotional Committee Robert L ' . Xyhart Music Committee Henry Rich Missionary Committee The above members of the Cabinet should be highly complimented for the splendid way in which they ha ' e fulfilled the duties of their respective offices. Their success, however, was due greatly to the co-operati n and spirit of brotherhood which was felt throughout the stu- dent body as a whole. Mr. Arthur Felker began as our most worthy President at the beginning of the year, but, having been called away by other duties elsewhere, was obliged to resign, much to the regret of the remaining Cabinet members. I[i the month of May, 1918, Mr. Knedler and Mr. Wesley Davies were sent as delegates to the rni ' ersity of Pennsylvania to a conference for Y. M. C. A. leaders. In the month of June, 1918, the following meinbers were sent as delegates to the Blairs- town Conference: Arthur Felker, Robert Nyhart, Wesley Davies, Karl Berger, Paul Long, and Henry Rich. On February 21st of this year, the presidents, Victor Rosell, .Arthur Felker and Lawrence Keefer, attended the college conference for Y. M. C. A. leaders held at State College. Th following month Mr. Keefer was sent as a delegate to. a conference at Harrisburg, which dealt with the probabilities of our great reconstruction period that is yet to come. Plans are now under way to send as a large number of fellows as possible to the Y. M. C. A. conference to be held this coming year. It has not been hard for the rest of us to realize the wonderful amount of help and inspiration which our conference delegates have brought home to us and to our organization from the various conferences which thev have attended. There have been other agencies also in action this year, to which we owe a large part of our success in our work. One of these was our splendid Y. M. C. A. basketball team, which was entirel a new feature in our Y. M. C. A. work. Under the capable coaching which they received, they proved to be a very valuable asset to the life and spirit of our organization. There was also a stirring lecture, entitled, Brains — Plus or Minus? given bv Dr. Gilvert of Berwick to the student body under the auspices of our Y. M. C. A. Thus we might go on and continue naming those various agencies which have made this year the successful one that it has been in the life history of our organization. But now it is our lot to leave this work to those who ar? to follow; and in our leaving we sincerely trust that those who succeed us may show to the world a decided improvement over the small services which we found ourselves able to render our Y. M. C, A. and our school. P Pa,, On,- UiinJicJ-lortyf.i
