y. w. c. a. The feature of the year for the El Dorado Junior College Y.W.C.A. was the trip by bus to the annu- al conference held at Hutchinson, Oct. 20-22. Fif- teen representatives from the local club were dele- gates, and two of our girls, Anita Mess and Mary Grist appeared on the conference program. The days in Hutchinson were filled by devotions, dis- cussion groups, sings, luncheons, teas, and an inter- national banquet. Upon the return of the E.J.C. delegates a social was planned and the entire group of Y.W. girls hiked to King ' s ranch fora chili supper and listened to glowing reports of the con- ference. The efficient and interesting group of leaders and sponsors who planned and led the activities of the club were Sadie Crommett, president; Bernice Stricklin, Lucy Graves, Helen Boyd, Gladys Selvy, Betty Frank, Anita Moss, Sarah Youmans ; and Valoise Angle, with Miss Wrestler and Miss Milford as sponsors. The y. W. C, A. Con- tributes Inspiration, Fun and Even Food to Co-eds Covered dish suppers were favorites in social activities, a get-acquainted party, a tea, and a pie supper were popular diversions. Perhaps a rum- mage sale could hardly be classed as a social activity, but it was at least a financial success, and made possible other social events. A formal tea, held every spring, for the senior girls of the Butler County high schools, was the climax to the year ' s activities. — Clara Gamble Page Twenty

Pi Delta Theta — the Dramatics Club — has rung down the curtain on another successful year. Most of this suc- cess was due to the enthusiasm of Mr. Nixon, the sponsor, the energy of Gerald Abby, the president, and the capa- bility of the other officers — Jeanette Hughes, vice presi- dent; Kathleen Ash, secretary-treasurer,- and Max Jones, business manager, The quaint old custom of initiating ne,w members was observed again this year — much to the sorrow of said new members. However they are to be complimented on the spirit in which they participated in this affair, for they showed a great deai of stick-to-itivness especially while emerging from the molasses. Had Glenn Cunning- ham been there for the peanut race he would surely have lost his laurels— and [o a girl — -for Valoise just wouldn ' t let anyone pass her. The outstanding social event of the club this year was the tea given by Mr. and Mrs. Nixon. The Dramatic Club was very proud to present its fall plav, The Children of the Moon, by Martin Flavin. The persona ' dramatis were: Valoise Angle, Robert Thompson, Marjorie Claunch, Helen Bovd, Jack Thuma, Virqil Simpson, Allen Sheaffer, and Sidnev Austin. Children of the Moon was the tragic story of a family affected bv the full moon, and a selfish mother who drove her dauqhter to suicide by telling her of the curse on the family. Don Weidman was the stage mamnger, Bill Scott, Jean Fitzgerald and Kathleen Ash had charge of the properties. Gerald Abby, Bill Kelley, and O. J. Connell provided the sound effects, and Clarence Balwanz super- vised the lighting effects which were especially good. Skidding, a story of the complications in the lives of a middle-class western fdmily, was chosen for the spring play. The cast included: Virgil Simpson, Max Jones, Capitola Leap, Jeannetta Hughes, Allan Shaffer, George Shumway, Marjoriz Claunch, Valoise Angle, Josephine Bigelow, and Robert Thompson. — Dorothy Anne Brown Pi Delta Theta Page Nineteen

Young Men ' s Christian Ass ' n Hail ! Hail ! The Gang ' s All Here - When the y. M. Sin 3 . The Y.M. began the 1933-34 school year with real enthusiasm, holding the first meeting on the first Monday of the new school year. The meetings each week throughout the school year were devoted to Bible study, song fests (see south half of the picture above), and open- forum discussions. The major activities of the Y.M. year were the sta,g party, the all-school pie supper, the intra-mura! basket ball league. The stag party was held on September 14 in the gym; enter- tainment consisted of Softball, basketball, soccer and general nonsense. Nomination for the Eddie Cantor of the evening was conferred upon Ralph Redburn. The all junior college pie supper provided entertainment with a variety, home talent program. The purpose of the pie supper was to sample the cooking of the junior college girls. They proved that they could cook, and the boys proved that they were willing to pay for the pies. That the Party proved a success was evidence by the fact that Bill Scott and Sue Townsend were chosen as the most pie faced, also because James Watts and his harem consumed four pies. Another project was the intra-mural basket ball league, which was begun January 29. The purpose of this project was to provide the opportunity for basketball to those who did not play on the varsity squad. The Y.M. Bible study, led by Mrs. E . E. Mc- Farlane began in the early fall and continued throughout the school year. These study groups were held every third Monday. Altho thes,e four projects comprise the major activities of the Y.M. there are others which deserve mention. On November 25 and 26, the local club sent its representatives to the Rocky Mountain Field Council meeting at Topeka, Kansas on December 8 and 9, the local club sent a delagation of several members to the state conference at K. U. The chief speaker at that conference was Sherwood Eddy, internationally known lecturer on current problems. This spring the organization sent a delegation to the state conference at Emporia. Throughout the year the cabinet has been meeting each Thursday. At these meetings various problems are discussed such as policies of the club, finances and future meetings.
