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

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.

Knock, Burns, Colburn CPres.D. Y. M. C.A. The Young lVIen's Christian Association of this college is a team that leads students to faith with God through Jesus Christ . It has molded senti- ment among the studentsg as one member put it, it shows them why they are here . Its scores are not counted in dollars, but in spiritual teamwork. There was a group of ofiicers that lead this team through a close game the past nine months. Chief among them were Floyd Colburn, the presidentg and W. C. Harter, coach of the squad. Then there were others on the cabinet, including Clarence Patchen, vice-presidentg Millard Knock, treasurerg and Clyde Knock, Jr., secretary. Add to these the rest of the boys in the club, add the socials they en- joyed, their enthusiasm, and you have the Y. M. on the court. One outstanding event was the Chinese banquet, at which the boys tried to eat like orientals, though we cannot vouch for their success. Almost every member of the faculty and several boys had speeches to give that timeg and the banquet was entirely a success. The boys enjoyed their friendships and felt that they had experienced something Worthwhile. The association is proud that it secured expressions from city business leaders on vocational guidance and business ethics. The boys appreciated instruction from the mayor, lawyers, merchants, and ministers on these matters, and feel amply rewarded for their work in arranging the association's program. Page 21 31113.
