J. C the members here staged a very full program. The summer of 19 28 saw the faculty advisor, Carrol Powers, as the educational head of twenty-two students on a tour of the Far East. This Hands Across the Pacific trip was a widely heralded move by American youth toward international friendship. The annual Christmas holiday conference of the Pacific Southwest Student Y. M. C. A. at Asilomar proved to be a fine source for contacts with leaders. problems, ideas, and ideals of other colleges and nations. Doctor Smith worked there as a personal advisor and walking seminar. Deputation teams from the Y have conducted special services in many churches in and near Modesto, providing speakers and violin and vocal soloists. Campus activities included the handling of gates and bleachers at football games, transportation to games, noon meetings, special suppers, socials, and picnics. Throughout the year the aim of the association was evident — to create and maintain high standards and ideals among the students of the college.

C. A. group established itself. Interest didn ' t stop there, however, for the newly initiated girls were introduced to a well-rounded program for the year. Every other Thursday a general meeting was held to which some out-of-town speaker brought new ideas. At other times a general discussion on important topics served to arouse much interest. In work of service, the Y. W. C. A. girls served a supper to the Business and Professional Women ' s Club. The money cleared sent a delegate to Asilomar. The never-to-be-forgotten social times included a pot-luck supper, some picnics, and also a swimming party and hay-ride with members of the Y. M. C. A. 1601

It is easy to imagine what a lot of work its members have done during the last year. Accomplishments covered different lines. There were candy and peanut sales at football games, and a cooky and punch sale at the big track meet. Besides these, the club helped in making costumes for college plays, as well as lettering football sweaters. Then, too, flowers were sent to faculty and club members in time of illness. At the big all-school breakfast relay the Home Economics girls served a satisfying breakfast. The faculty club dinner and the big rally called for more work. The largest undertaking of the Club during the year was the sponsoring of the County Girls ' Congress, which was very successful. A well-planned educational program was carried out. It includes the showing of films from the U. C. Extension Service, a week-end trip in San Francisco by the class in Home Decoration, and a week-end in Twain-Harte by the classes in food and nutrition. Also, the Better Home Week in Modesto was sponsored by the Club, and the model home was arranged by its members. The social festivities included the famous Pirate Dance in October, and the March Formal, as well as a Campus Picnic, the conclusion to a year ' s activities. 1621
