Student Government Student Government has become really known at the College of Secretarial Science this year. Every student has a real respect for the Board which for twenty-five Thursday afternoons held long and important meetings in Room 15. What has happened at those meetings? Everyone has some individual knowledge of what Student Government has done. Some will remember per- sonal notes of warning; some, the difficulty of learning to put dishes back at the lunch counter. ‘‘Proctors’ reports’’ and sorority privileges will remind many people of Student Government’s decisions. ‘‘Honor spirit’’ will recall to each one the proud Junior and Senior members of the Board who, by proctoring at mid-years, proved conclusively that the faculty was no longer necessary in ex- amination rooms. All these things have been brought about because each stu- dent by her co-operation has shown herself a real factor in the Association. No matter in what phase of Student Government you have been most in- terested, you can never forget ‘‘Kay,’’ the girl who has so wonderfully advanced the standards of Student Government that she cannot help being an inspiration to the coming presidents. 141

NORE Gea. The Y. W. C. A. holds a most important place in our college. It brings the girls together every Tuesday at noontime for a quiet, thoughtful half hour together. No matter how hard one has been studying or how tired she may be, if she will just drop in with the small group of girls gathered there, she will come away refreshed and ready for business again. The Y. W. adds the religious and inspirational side to the college life. In June, 1922, thirteen girls representing our college went to the Y. W. C. A. Conference at Camp Maqua, Poland, Maine. This experience brought the girls in touch with associations of other colleges. In the past two years C. S. S. has sent twenty-five girls to Maqua, who have come back the following year with the Maqua spirit, full of enthusiasm and determination to carry on the work for the ensuing year with greater zeal than ever. Before college opened in the fall, every incoming freshman received a note of welcome from some member of the Y. W. Three weeks after college opened the Y. W. gave a party to greet the girls. At Christmas time the Y. W. gave a Christmas party to twenty poor chil- dren of Boston. The children enjoyed themselves immensely, but I can truth- fully say not a bit more than the girls who entertained. Until January, outside speakers have talked to us on a variety of inter- esting and uplifting subjects, but at the request of the girls themselves we spent over a month discussing Child Labor Laws, Friendship, Loyalty, etc., with the students themselves as leaders. Our organization is less than three years old and we want many more to join our happy times at the noon hour Tuesdays. This year we have developed, doubled our membership and attendance. The Y. W. C. A. extends a warm welcome to all. 143
