A. last spring at the annual formal banquet. At the same time a new and able cabinet was installed. They are as follows : Alice Gulley vice president; Marjery Wohlgemuth, secre- tary; Shirley Helm, treasurer. Committee chairmen were: Alice Gulley, meetings; Marguerite Barney, deputation; Josephine Haldy, social service ; Betty Lou Gardner, social ; Florence Swanson, music; Kathleen Smith, Christian world education; Betty Vasey, publicity; Mrs. Harmon, faculty advisor. The activities of the Y.W.C. A. throughout the year have been many and varied. The committees have functioned very efficiently. The meetings are held regularly each Wednesday and they have been colorful and well attended. The social service committee was in charge of redecorat- ing the Y.W.C. A. room, with which the advisors, Mrs. Har- mon and Mrs. Ben Jones, assisted. This committee also or- ganized the Christmas party for the underprivileged children of Newberg and the Christmas and Thanksgiving boxes of food delivered to needy families. The social activities of the autumn and winter in which the formal reception, Christmas party, Y.M. and Y.W. mixer, and potkick birthday dinners are included, are credited to Betty Lou Gardner and her committee. Florence Swanson was responsible for the large sale of Christmas candles and the organization of caroling groups. A Mother ' s Tea was given in May, of which Betty Vasey was chairman. The Y.W.C.A. feels that it has contributed materially to the social, physical, and spiritual life of the school.
