Even be- fore school started, early in the summer the work of the Big Little Sister program was started. As a result, our new freshmen were able to adjust themselves very rapidly to their new type of life. At the Punch Party, spon- sored by the Y, the new students were in- troduced to the faculty. All this came about during the first week of school. One of the highlights was the Little Kid Party at which we had our picture taken. An- other and most enjoyable party was our carol- ing party with the Y. M. and C. S. L. Prob- ably the most outstanding occasion was our Social Chairman .... . . .Frances Ritchey Refreshment Chairman . . . .Lois A. Boose Music Chairman ..... . ......

W. met every Wednesday evening, having a variety of programs, the majority of which dealt with the race problem. Many meetings were held jointly with the Y. M. in an attempt to work in closer harmony with that group. Besides our programs, we backed two projects of which we are very proud. The first was the Foreign Student Project and the second the W. S. S. F. Drive. During the spring an inspiring Communion Service was held in the chapel, with a majority of the student body attending. All through the year the Y. W. C. A. was ever active, both socially and spiritually. Page Fifty-fam'
