MARYLAND CHRISTIAN ASS ' N Women Mary Alice Worthen Roulh Hickey Lois Edmonds Ernestine Loffler Presiden t Vice-Presiden t Secretary Treasurer Men Sidney McFerrin Jerome Sachs Paul Welsh Preston DeVilbiss i HE Maryland Christian Association was formed in 1930 and is a voluntary fellowship of men and women who unite in the endeavor to find the highest values in living and to make them effective in daily life. Its membership is limited to those students and faculty members of this school who are in sympathy with the purposes and objectives of this club. It strives to achieve closer fellowship and co- operation among the students and to promote an all-campus program to meet the needs of the students and faculty. A few features of its program are Freshman Week Program. Student Sunday, Conferences, Vesper Service, Fireside Forums, and Freshman Discussion. Each year the cabinet for men and women works out its own separate statement of purpose and goals for the year, making a specific effort to meet the needs of the campus. In all of their work both cabinets have the advice and help of the faculty and student pastors and the Advisory Board. The Maryland Christian Association and the Student Government Association cooperated in a campus-wide Christmas relief drive for food, money, and clothes. Included in this was a novel Depression Dance given in the Gym- Armory on De- cember 18. One package of canned food was the admission fee. The annual Maryland Freshman Mixer, sponsored by this club, was termed a huge success, having attracted approximately three hundred couples. Helen Farrington was the hostess of this gala occasion.

Graham President Edith Brechbill Recording Secretary Dorothy Pierce Corresponding Secretary Arthur Buddington Treasurer Reverend Ronalds Taylor Chaplain The Episcopal Club of the University of Maryland is an affiliated unit of the National Student Council of the Episcopal Church. It was established in 1921 by a group of students and faculty members to promote a closer fellowship among Epis- copal students and their friends, to further a true Christian spirit on the campus; and to follow a five-point program of worship, religious education, church extension, campus and community service and fellowship. Some of the definite undertakings were regular bi-monthly meetings at the school and monthly corporate communion at the church. This year a student Lenten offering was sent to Bishop Dallas for religious education in the mountain districts of New Hampshire; the club also sent delegates to the Tri-diocesan student conference in Baltimore, the president of which was also the president of the Mary- land Club. The social activities of the club consisted of a very successful freshman reception and an equally successful Thankmas party which was given in early December. The club cordially welcomes to its meetings all students and faculty interested in its works. 120
