YANKEE Standing high among the tradi- tional campus clubs here at North Park is the Yankee Club, founded by 35 Easterners, with residence in one of the New England States as the only requirement for membership. In recent years, the club has extended its boun- daries to include students from the New Jersey and New York City areas. These well known individuals on North Park ' s campus who are recognized by the missing Y unite to form the Yankee Club. Evidence of loyalty to one another has long been a trade- mark of the down Easterners who will be seen frequently talking about the things back home. Many of the members have known each other pre- viously from the summer conference which is held at Cromwell, Connecti- cut; so that they are often not total strangers to one another upon arriving here. This year the Yankees started out their activities with a picnic at La Baugh Woods in October. A bowling party and the annual Yankee bean supper were held in the spring. Row I I I rickson, S.

Well, that ' s Emily Post ' s way of saying that a secretary in an office should tend strictly to business, be as impersonal as her typewriter, and as full of information as her filing cabinet. This club is composed of girls in- terested in a secretarial career and in becoming more familiar with that field. The activities of the club are varied, being both informative and entertain- ing. Socials also held an important part in the activities of our future sec- retaries ... for it is important that they also know how to act when the boss takes them out to dinner. An outstanding event in the first semester was the Christmas party Smorgasbord held in Caroline Hall lounge. The climax of the year was the annual spring reunion banquet, at Villa Sweden, where former members were guests of the club. At one of the club meetings former members of the club came back and told of their experiences in the business world. Officers this year were: ]ean Hug- gare, Barbara Eldh, Elvera Englund, and Nancy Anderson. The faculty sponsor of this club is Miss Debora Carlson.

Y.W.C.A. CABINET Row I : J. Scaburah. M. Wickett. L. Hokanson. M. Liljegrcn. D. Matson. Row 2: D. Schuli. M. Aimer. M. Ramgren. N. Lambert. A. Erickson. L. Sa The Y.W.C.A. is a popular and act- ive club at North Park. It is open to all girls in the college, providing an oppor- tunity to make new friends and to share in the activities of a large and worthy group. The purpose of the club is thus stated: to build a fellowship of women devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are com- mitted by our faith as Christians. All members were urged to sign up for one of the seven committees of the Y. The chairmen of these in- clude: Delores Schuh, Nancy Lambert, Carol Le Vahn, Betty Seaburgh, Mari- lyn Liljegren, Marjorie Ramgren, and Margaret Wickett. These committees divide activities of the organization so that many girls have a chance to take part in the planning. Y service projects this year in- cluded selling chrysanthemums at homecoming, putting out a college di- rectory, and planning a chapel serv- ice for the World Student Service Fund. On Halloween the Y sponsored a hayrack party which was very suc- cessful. Following a tradition started several years ago, the Y planned a turn-about week held in the spring. At one of the meetings Miss Bran- del told of her experiences in Europe. After hearing about her experiences we all got the bug to travel. The officers of the organization this year were: Ann Elise Erickson, Marianne Aimer, Lorraine Hokanson, and Doris Matson. The sponsor this year has been Mrs. L. Sandgren.
