The TRAIL 81 Y. W. C. A. HE Y. W.. C. A. began the school year on a new basis which allows any girl to become an active member whether or not she is a church memiber.. li No girl was given an opportunity to join until she understood the purpose of the organization. This purpose and the plan of Y. W. C. A. Work was 'QTY i first presented to all the girls of the school at a social gathering in Finney Hall parlors on September 22, after the Y. W. and Y. M. mix on the triangle, After this meeting the Y. WL C. A. work proceeded in regular manner to give the new girls an idea of the place held by the Y. W. C.. A. on our campus. On October 27 one of the most impressive meetings ofthe year was held, the Recognition Meeting, and sixty girls entered the Y. W. C. A. room through a large blue triangle to either join or rejoin the organization founded on the purpose to live as a tr.ue follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. During the year the membership has increased to 73. Sales were patronized by the Student Body and Faculty, pledges, gifts, and re- ceipts from concerts given in the surrounding communities have met our financial problems. Our financial gifts to missions were twenty-five dollars to the Chinese Fa- mine Fund and the payment for magazine subscriptions sent to Miss Celia Cowen, our first Y. W. C. A. member to go to the foreign field. One of our teas this year was a Missionary Tea in honor of Miss Cowen who had then set sail for China. All our teas this year though few in number have been pleas- ant g'et-together times. The Y. XV. C. A. had its usual share in the entertainment oct' the Post Exam Jubilee. One aim of the Y. W. C. A. this year has been to gain world outlook. This was accomplished through the meetings held during the Y. W. C. A. week of prayer and the posters hung by the publicity committee. These significant posters were in the halls of the administration building so that the entire student body might get an idea of world conditions. Our newly created office of Undergraduate Representative CU. RJ helps us to keep in touch through the Northwestern Field ofiice in the world work. Q Our Advisory Board, consisting of Mrs. Kimbrough, chairmang Mrs. Case, Mrs. White, Mrs. LeMaster, Mrs. Lowell, and Mrs. Vance, has always been ready to give us good counsel, gifts, encouragement, and praise.

82 The TRAIL VERNE GRO'IlHE CORWIN HINSHAW SIDNEY MCLAUGIiLIN Vzce-President President Treasurer THOMAS FAUCETTE MAX GOODRICH OWEN C. GRIMM Y. M. C. A. HE Young Men's Christian Association of the College of Idaho represents the active Christian element in the school. The meetings this year have been especially helpful and inspiring. , Older and experienced leaders and speakers were obtained for most of these meetings. The fellowship with and advice from these men who had met and solved life's problems was particularly valuable. Professor Vance had charge of an enthusiastic Bible study class which met each month in Voorhees Hall. Prof. Vance gave a very instructive series of lectures on the Minor Prophets. ' While retaining in spirit and in name the Word Christian, the officers of the association hope to make it one of the popular organizations during the coming year.
