The N-I chapter was organized in 1906 as a charter member of the United Slates organization. The main theme of the meetings during the year was the problem of racial relations. Dis- cussions were held on the Negro, Japanese, and Jewish problems during the bi-monthly meet- ings of the group. Besides the regular meetings of the organization, the Y. W. C. A. meets several times a year in joint session with the Y. M. C. A. The two associations sponsored an all-school Christmas party during the winter term, and also cooperated in the production of the N-I Rarit- ies, all-school vaudeville show, the purpose of which was to raise funds with which to send delegates to regional and national conventions of the youth organizations.

Com be Hick President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Adviser The Young Men's Christian Association is one of the largest and best-known organiza- tions for men on the N-l campus. During the year, with the return of veterans and new students, the work of the Y. M. C. A. has taken a new look to the future. Of the several projects during the school year, the study of the Old Testament has gained the chief emphasis. This course was pursued by members for twelve weeks, and one scholastic credit was given those who completed the course. Several social functions were held during the year, including the annual “stag party in January, and several joint sessions with the Y. V . C. A. After a lapse of several years, the N-I Rarities were revived by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. amid a good deal of campus in- terest. Robert Anderson acted as master-of-ceremonies. and Arthur Hollan served as general chairman. Funds raised by the annual vaudeville show are used to send delegates to region- al student conferences of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and to church foundations at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, in June. A delegation representing the N-I will attend the Geneva conference this year. The group was represented at the area conference at Jamestown College in October by Stanley Stehlick. Norman Goehner, Gust Kempf, Robert Bell, Arnold Wasson, and Mr. Combellick. The group was also represented at the area planning conference on the campus of the North Dakota Agri- cultural College in April. For the first time in the history of the N-I. the Y. M. C. A. joined other organizations in sup- porting the World Student Service Fund, and led an intensive campus drive during the spring quarter. Page 24

OFFICERS Raymond McDermott------------------------ Clarence Blecha Dorothy Murray Beulah Blount Father Veach Kathleen Dooley Julia Shea President -----Vice President Secretary-Treasurer -----------Reporter —Spiritual Adviser .Faculty Advisers The idea of Newman Clubs on college campuses was instituted by John Henry Newman, who later became a Cardinal in the Catholic Church. N-I's Newman Club was organized in 1939 by the Catholic students on the campus for the purposes of creating a greater love for God. of bringing together all Catholic students at regular meetings, and of promoting a better understanding of the Church and its teachings. During the year, meetings were held at regular intervals to study various Church ques- tions, history, and services. Although the theme of the club is essentially religious, the social aspect was not neglected. Inactive since 1943, the club was reorganized last fall with the Rev. Father C. F. Veach as adviser. The year's activities included discussions on religious subjects, and several parties. Pago 26
