P. UM. QC. Q. Last fall the girls of the A. S. N. S. with the assistance of the lady members of the faculty succeeded in organizing a Y. W. C. A. We met October the eleventh and organized electing Miss Hinchliff as president, Miss Winkler as vice-president, Miss T. Pratt, treasurer and Miss E. Larsen, secretary. We sent Miss Barber to the Northwest district convention. The inspiration she received while there has been of the greatest value to the association. November the tenth we were favored by a visit from Miss Hopkins, secretary of the Northwest district. One of the great- est benefits in getting better organized was the help received from her as was also the excellent talk she gave us in Y. W. C. A. during her stay with us. One of the most beneficial departments of the association is the Bible study. We have three classes, supervised by Miss Van Boskirk, Miss Smith and Mrs. Knipe. The classes meet each Thursday and discuss the daily readings. This year we have been studying the character of Jesus. Owing to the fact that the association is not well organized, the social events have been very few. In the fall. we gave a taffy-pull in the dining room of the Girls' Dormitory to thc whole school. This spring we gave a County Fair, to help defray the expense of Miss Barber. It was a decided success. both socially and financially, as we cleared over forty dollars. In February we elected new officers: Miss G. Pratt, presi- dent, Miss M inear, vice-presidentg Miss Hinchlff, treasurer and Miss Barber, secretary. The benefit we girls have received from the Association can not be estimated. It is training and strengthening us both morally and mentally for the long years when our lives may be beyond its influence. INA SORIVNER, '12

Lewis Membership Frank Dotson Constitution Geo. D. Knipe Educational institutions are realizing more and more that no man has a liberal education who has studied only the usual school branches, and that no man is well developed who has developed only the spiritual and mental sides of his nature and has omitted the spiritual side. ' For this reason a band of earnest fellows got together last November and organized a Young Men 's Christian Association. The object of this work is to create a religious atmosphere in the school, to bring the young men of the institution together in a study of the greatest of books, the Bible, and to better fit them for their work in life. In the organization of a Y. M. C. A. a heartfelt need of the school has been realized. Although the work is quite young there is every reason to be encouraged. Another year will find the Y. M. C. A. in good working order and the old members will be seen getting behind the work and pushing it on with renewed energy and deter- mination.
