■3 Young Women ' s Christian Association ORKING ever toward a more complete fulfillment of the motto, To bring every girl to Christ, to build her up in Christ, to send her out for Christ, the Young Women ' s Christian Association of Agnes Scott has come to be one of the most potent factors in the life of the college. With the constant help and sympathy of the Faculty and a spirit of hearty cooperation from the students, it h as been an inspiring task to seek a carrying out of the lines of work planned by the various committees; and, to crown the whole , there has been divine blessing- greater than could be asked or thought. A membership of ninety -five per cent, of the student body ; nine mission study classes ; forty-six girls enrolled in the Bible study classes, besides those who are studying the International Sunday-Sehool Lessons ; a budget of six hundred and forty dollars ; and a strong spirit of comradeship and mutual interest among the girls, — these are some of the things which have brought about greater usefulness of the Association during the past year. Among the many sources of inspiration and of spiritual benefit, there stands out preeminently the Young .Women ' s Christian Association Council in November, when Agnes Scott had as guests representatives from various Georgia schools, who were led in a study of m ore effectual Association methods by ' Miss Oolooab Burner, .Miss Anna I). Casler, Miss Mary Dudley Powell, and Miss Mary Fleming Porter. We also had the privilege of having a series of meetings in February conducted by Miss Bertha Conde of New York, the senior secretary of the National Board. Thus, as we look back on the work of the past and catch a vision of greater tilings yet to be accomplished, we feel that surely goodness and mercy have fol- lowed us, and that we can work with deeper interest until the Association shall bring every girl at Agnes Scott to the broadest development, — physically, socially, mentally, spiritually, — to the fullness of the measure of the stature of Christ.

f ■ v. SILHO THE SEVENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION GEORGIA STUDENTS ' MISSIONARY LEAGUE ROME, GEORGIA NOVEMBER 8, 9 and 10, 1912 DELEGATES LAURA MEL TOWERS CHARLOTTE JACKSON FRANCES DUKES SALLIE CARR RE RUTH BLUE CHARIS HOOD MARTHA BRENNER MARY KELLY MISS EDITH APPLEYARD, Chaperon Always will November the eighth, ninth and tenth, of the year nineteen hundred and twelve, stand out as the happiest and most well-spent days in the lives of nine persons who were so fortunate as to attend the Georgia Students ' Missionary League at Rome. So much happened in those few days, each moment being filled with something that we wanted to remember to bring back to our fellow-students. And oh ! how we longed for each girl at Agnes Scott to share with us those inspiring gatherings where our souls came in touch with such wonderful and enthusiastic men as Rev. Chas. Hounshell, Dr. F. W. Ayers, and Prof. Chas. R. Foster and others. Never can we tell of the feeling which overcame vis when we visited the Berry School. This is such a wonderful place and we, as Agnes Scott girls, feel a keen interest in this school. Girls could not be more enthusiastic than we are. The atmosphere of the whole Convention was overpowering. The gathering of so many students, all with the same purpose, brought more clearly than ever to each delegate the truth of this purpose and what it really means to us and especially to others. No college could have been more hospitable than Shorter ; none could have been more suited for the Convention ; and no days could have been more profit- ably spent than those memorable days of the 1912 Convention. 24
