The need of actual training for effectual Work in this field has long been recognized. To meet that need Grand Island College has for some years fostered this organization, the members of which have in mind future Work in the religious department. These members have been engaged in Christian activities in the city and elsewhere when opportunity has of- fered. While emphasizing those qualities of sincerity and devotion so neces- sary to religious instructors, the League has also attempted to suggest solutions to the various social and psychological questions which must be considered. The League has been fortunate in having among its members people who have met those situations and are fully qualified to offer advice to in- experienced, however enthusiastic, students. Among the addresses given were those of Professor Hinton, Mrs. Hinton, and Mrs. Woodruff. Whenever possible members of the League attend the Assembly and profit from the experiences of leading religious educators of the country. The vacation bible school affords opportunity for realization of Working values of advocated principles. Meetings have been conducted in the home of President and Mrs. Wells during the last term.

E11 THE ISLANDER Prof. Harriet Anderson Mildred Pearson Alice Lindburg Esther McGrath Norma. Baker Ruth Bryan Vera Tilley Anna Robinson Laura. Pinkston Mattie Washburn Florence Reese Dorothy Butcher Thelma Gregory Y. W. C. A. The responsibility of each newly elected Y. W. C. A. officer was real- ized when she assumed her duties on May 1, 1927. However, the spirit of unity established by the breakfast for the old and new cabinet members soon after gave each girl confidence in herself and assurance of the aid and co-operation of her fellow officers. During Commencement the annual May Pageant was presented under the supervision of Professor Harriet Anderson. Mildred Pearson was crowned Queen of the May. Pearl and Lela Wright, Ethel Bice, Mildred Pearson and Ruth Bryan attended the conference at Estes and were much pleased by the beneficial instruction received. , The continuation of the Big and Little Sister plan made the first days of college life pleasanter for many a freshman girl. Surely the Y. W. C. A. has accomplished much toward the realization of its ideals on the campus this year. w---+a15r:91928
