A. A. Realizing that there are many roads to wisdom, I. J. C. has been devoting itself to both the mental and physical development of its students. The aquatic, outdoor, and court sports which are sponsored by the VV. A. A. give the college woman a few hours of wholesome exercise each week, which enable her to return to her classes refreshed and invigorated. Oflicers for this year are: P1'esident, Alene Bassett, Vice-President, Bernice Shileg Secretary, Ruth Johnson, and Treasurer, Audrey Stark. Any college girl is eligible for membership if she is passing in at least ten hours of college work, and has won the first one hundred points. With the aid of Miss Alice May Austin, sponsor, and Miss Zella Spradling, sports instruc- tor, W. A. A. has been able to furnish the necessary exercise perhaps as no other organization could have. It has stimulated an interest in college ath- letics by cultivating a taste for sports and a knowledge of games. Last fall, the sophomore members gave a tea for the women of the col- lege. This was the beginning of the year's activities which ended successfully with the annual football banquet. The reception, which followed, was given at the Presbyterian church parlors for the whole school. Page 19 g.q.m..w--.A.

Students who desired to become members were admitted, and Ida Miller was chosen president. Through the efforts of Miss Miller, a representative float was entered in the Neewollah parade. The society, however, was very loosely organized and its real work was not definitely arranged until the latter part of January. At this time twenty-five girls met with their sponsor, Mr. A. H. Klassen, and formally organized. They selected as their official uniforms blue and gold caps, black skirts, and bright blue sweaters, adorned with gold felt pirates, The Pirate being the symbol of the Independence Junior college. The young women faithfully supported the various activities of the college, especially basketball and track. At the termination of the basketball season, the Pep Club treated the team to a banquet, in recognition of the service rendered to the college. For the purpose of raising funds for the Inkanquil, the Pep Club. aided by the Y. M. C. A., held a carnival in Nees Hall, on March 9. Here, appro- priate decorations and booths were arranged for the entertainment of a large attendance. In addition to the carnival, a superb cast of both old and new favorites presented eleven acts of vaudeville. The event was so successful that the Pirate pepsters plan to make it an annual affair.

Bottom Row-Sturges, Stark, Wycoff, R. Johnson. Y. W. C. A. What has the Y. W. done this year? Really there is very little they have left undone. Their first social enterprise was an all- school party which proved to be one of the most attractive functions of the year. A 'tBig and Little Sister nike, a week-end at camp Kiwanis, and similar outings followed in rapid succes- sion. The box supper, given during the second semester, was an example of the unique entertainment which the Y. W. presented this year. Another illustra- tion of their cleverness and originality was the Y. W. chapel program, an Italian comic opera which certainly brought down the house . The meetings this year frequently took the form of discussion groups, and oh, how many meek and timid folk forgot themselves in the heat of an argu- ment! Last but not least Cto resort to a hackneyed friendb at Christmas time the Y. W. gave presents both to the Mexican settlement children and to other needy enfants of the city. u Much of the success and enthusiasm of the Y. W. this year was due to Bernice Shile, the president, with her able leadership, and to Miss Bryan, the sponsor, who with her own friendliness and zeal inspired the girls to work ardently for their organization. The purpose of the Y. W. is to train girls in leadership, service, and Christian living, and the program this year has adequately provided such training. It seems thhat the Y. W. has taken Mr. Coue's maxim to heart. Page 20
