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?

A. this year has been per- haps, the inspirational talks on various books of the Bible which have been given at one meeting each month by President Wells. He has unusual ability to find new and more vital interpretations of some of the books which are at times puzzling as to their real spiritual significance. Lloyd Richards, president, and Robert McWilliams, in charge of the program committee, began the year systematically by mapping out the whole program for the first semester. This program was carried out al- most entirely by the Y, In addition to the Bible talks, Ralph Tilley gave a report of the Estes conference which he attended last summer, Coach Uhls spoke on Sports- manship, Eldon Smith reviewed Dr. Crane's Why I Am a Christian, Paul Newell gave a talk on philosophy, the Rev. Charles Bruner of the local Congregational church spoke, and James Whitman spoke on The Ministry as.I See It. Thanksgiving and Christmas programs were given jointly with the Y. W. C. A. 52
