HE second year of the Senior Counselor Program began with a meeting of the members of the group prior to the oflicial opening of the college. From experiences of last year, these girls were able to make plans for more helpful guidance of the new girls. Once a week Senior Group Meetings were held in the various dorms at which a Senior Counselor presided. Such topics as getting the most out of Colby, studying, Colby customs, and extra-curricular activities were pre- sented for discussion. Through these meetings, the transition between life at home and at college has been made easier, friendships facilitated, and the true spirit of Colby incorporated among the students. The Senior Counselors are on call at all times to answer any questions or to help in any problems which may arise throughout the year among the new girls in their group. l79l

HE members of the Student Government Organization here at Colby include the entire student body, and they all have an opportunity to vote on articles and ideas proposed by the Student Government Council. This year, in addition to the primary duties which it always performs, Student Government planned many social functions. First came the formal Christmas dinner on December 15, the dining room looking very impressive with its decorations of red and green. Enjoyable also were the Sunday afternoon teas, held throughout the winter in the various dorms, where we all appreciated something warm to drink after an afternoon in the cold. The informal dance given the Friday night of Carnival week-end and all of its different spring activities help to make us realize that Student Govern- ment is really a vital part of Colby life.

HE Young Women's Christian Association offers the student the op- portunity for development socially and intellectually through group work, and the chance to develop convictions in the field of religion. The division of the organization into commissions for Social Action, Peace, or Church and Worship allows members to follow special interests. Vesper services in the Y.W. Little Chapel, outstanding speakers, in- formal discussion groups around the fire, and student conferences help draw the girls closer together in their religious convictions to all of life. We, the members of the Young Women's Christian Association, unite in the desire to realize full and creative life through a growing know- ledge of God. We determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people. 'tr 'Q W l80l
