The college group is always interested in the campus news and the Volante chronicles school events in a way that meets with hearty approval. While the paper is primarily devoted to college news, a considerable amount of space is open for constructive editorials and well chosen articles of interest to col- lege people. As a result, the Volante is a factor in awakening and directing college spirit and activity. A new feature, introduced this year, is a department open to signed contributions by members of the student body. This opportunity for ex- pression has been made use of by a number of students and their letters have touched a number of subjects, all of real worth to the student thought. The Volante has always ranked high as a college paper and its standard has been well carried out this year by the staff under the leader- ship of Frances Shattuck as editor with Eldon Smith assisting her. The paper has been given a distinguished rating in the 1926-1927 College Press Publication contest, sponsored by the University of Illinois. Harold Eiselc, as business manager, has given an efficient service in this important de- partment of the publication. 'I ' F' '- . .Tr xffkf-.

A. began the year 1926-1927 in a very promising manner. In May occurred the traditional May Pageant. Under the able direction of Miss Anderson it was a most pleasing affair. At the Commencement dinner fifty dollars was given to Dr. John Foote, a missionary from Japan. At the same time fifty dollars was given to the college toward a curtain for the stage of the Auditorium-Gynr nasium. Later another fifty dollars was given for the same purpose. Last spring Dorothy Olmstead spent a few days with us and informed the girls about the Industrial Experiment in Chicago last summer in which she took part. In September the Big and Little Sister plan was carried out to help the new girls feel more at home. The Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. also sponsored a Starlight Mixer to help the new students get acquainted. The Y. M. and Y. W. Christmas party was held in the Auditorium-Gymnasium. It included games, eats and presents. During the Christmas vacation the Y. W. C. A. sent Frances Shattuck to a national conference in Milwaukee. This conference has been recognized by leading religious and Y. W. C. A. people as one of the big events of the year. We also had a visit from Frances Perry, the secretary for the Rocky Mountain Region. During February Esther McGrath and Marion Graham were sent as delegates to a week-end conference in Lincoln. Our meetings this year have been varied in form and subject matter. We have tried to touch the subjects most interesting to girls. waesaaaaeaee 51 - .63 fire '-14 ' 423' 1 riff! K!! if? :'5e' ig, Y gfjs 6'f'i g 45:9 S.-SW ff, fgjw ,M is Sl?
