COMMITTEEMEN Stafford, Hewlett, Patiig Crescenzo, Parker, Clinchy. THE SOCIAL COMMITTEE Demands of the students for action every week- end necessitated someone ' s taking the responsibility of deciding what it should be. This job fell to that group known as the social committee, which had most of the planning to do throughout the year. And most of the thanks for their work came in the form of comments on some pretty fair banquet, dance, etc. Increasing aid given by other organiza- tions, however, somewhat improved the lot of these people. Witness the Y and Monogram dances. Also, in addition to the honor of successful election, committee men have the privilege of putting up other gullible under-graduates to plan for another year. Activities such as the Freshman Reception — other time killers of Orientation Week — and the sports banquets are the source of much perturbation on the part of the group. Added to the repertoire this year was Recreation hHour with games and dancing In the gymnasium — until students were surfeited. There were other minor burdens, of course: more dancing, once after a basketball game, and on week-ends — picnics, and open houses In the hut.

YOUNG WOMEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION V ith a hand to the pulse of the campus, the Y. W. C. A. works In collaboration with the Y. M. in planning Sunday night vespers. With these are presented pro- grams calculated to be of interest to Y members and to the students at large. Through the sending of delegates to an annual confer- ence, the cabinet makes a further effort toward keeping members well informed. An important Y feature this year was the Thanks- giving dance, with Guilford ' s own dance band — the second big dance to be given in the new gym. President, Theodore Mills; vice-president, Charles Lewis; sec- retary-treasurer, Paul Carruthers; Walter Patzig, Phil Dewees, Joe Carter, Frederick Binford, Robert Rohr, J. W. McGlnnis. YOUNG MEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION In addition to providing what has been termed religious and spir- itual guidance, the combined Y cabinets take it upon themselves to sponsor a number of other ac- tivities. The battleground hike is a favored one a mong these, re- peated each fall by popular de- mand. Other projects reminiscent of the Y ' s include open forums on current topics, and Thursday night discussions in the hut. A specialty is made of bringing personalities to the campus for lectures and the leading of discussion groups.
