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.

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

There have been more members initiated, more meetings held, and two issues of the Lark instead of one. More interest has been shown in the writing of original papers, and we think that some of the articles which have been published in the Lark are of literary merit. In other directions the club has taken steps forward. Mr. Klassen has given us a lecture on Impressionism',, and another on Recent American Fic- tion . These proved to be very interesting, and we all felt that we had gained valuable information concerning the most discussed types of modern fiction. The club adopted an emblem and ordered pins for its members. The design is a gold pen and scroll on a blue background, blue and gold being the colors of our college. Also the organization has made and formally accepted a consti- tution, which will serve as a guide for the club in the future. Almost as important in the activities of the Literary club as the regular meetings devoted to study are the social events, which included two initiations and a candy making party. The Literary club, this year, has set up a newer and higher standard than ever before, and we know that it will be maintained by the future club members.
