y.w. y.M. While the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. are organized in E. J. C. as separate clubs instead of as the Student Christian Movement their purposes are very similar, and in many activities they work co- operatively. The promotion of Christian fellowsh ' p motivates the Y ' s work. Under the leadership of Rosemary Gfeller the Y. W. C. A. has attained a membership larger than that of any other college club. Such Y. W. activities as covered dish suppers, informal teas (see picture above,) and parties have helped to make the social life of the school varied. During the Easter season worship services were held for a short time before classes each morning. At the holiday season the Y. W. adpoted a family. Finan- cially the members proved themselves to be both workers and wizards, as witness the selling technique displayed in the snaps above. Other officers and members of the cabinet were Harriet Bachelder, Ida Mae Foster, Betty Jean Daniel, Maxine Roberts, Wilda Ruth, Wilma Locke. Miss Wrestler and Miss Milford were sponsors of the organization. At the beginning of the year the Y. M. C. A. took the responsibility of sponsoring a game room for the student body. This game room, devoted chiefly to ping-pong, was a gathering place for students at activity period and after school. Ed Brumback was president of the Y. M. this year and assisting him were the following officers and chairman Jim Hayes, Dale Watts, Jack Morris, Gerald Townsend, Forest Cornwell, and Joe King. Mr. Shumway was the sponsor.

Above are pictures of Jim Hayes and Irene Strotkamp taken on the day of the initiation of new members into Pi Delta Theta, junior college dramatics club. The other picture is of some representative action of the fall play, Bury the Dead. There was a great amount of interest taken by students in dramatic activities and organizations this year. The membership of Pi Delta Theta was increased to forty-three members, thirty-seven of whom remain dur- ing the present semester. Besides its social activities and smaller productions. Pi Delta Theta produced two major college plays. In the fall it successfully sponsored Bury the Dead, an impression- istic anti-war play. The spring play, Laburnum Grove, a comedy, was produced May 14. In accordance with the precedence of the last few years, a reception was held on the stage following the performance. In addition to the dramatic activities, Pi Delta Theta again sponsored the spring banquet on May 10, and thus, looks back with satis- faction on this year of increased interest and activity. Six new members were chosen this fall to Delta Psi Omega, making a total of sixty members in the local chapter which was started in 1935. The six who were initiated into this honorary organization are Bob Huttenhoff, Bert Dace, Christine Hughes, Evelyn Crooks, and Clancy Ferguson. More new members will be selected this spring.
