.w,a. ll SONAH-2.7 I 'H , Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. of the Henry Ford Hospital School of Nursing and Hygiene was organized in March, 1926, with a membership of 56. The constitution was drawn up, accepted and the following ofiicers elected: PTCSidC71fLANN THOMPSON VicefP1esident-AUDREY HORN S8CTCEdTy ALVINA EULER Treasurer-JANE GREBNWOOD In this manner the WY was launched and set sail for a full year of activity. Every effort was ,made to carry out the full purpose of the organization, which was: to be of service to the school, promoting high ideals, self expression and development of Christian character. The organization turned strongly to social and athletic fields, through these channels the girls in the different classes had an opportunity of meeting as well as Ending relaxation from their Work. The religious vein was reached through the Vesper Services held bifmonthly from 4 to 5 P. M. on Sundays. One of the first activities was a tea and candy sale on May 8, 1926. We were fortunate in having Miss Jessie Bonstelle of the Bonstelle Playhouse talk to us on june 8, 1926. The Y sold ginger ale at the Festa di Primavera, June 2nd, Our only outdoor activity was a steak fry with the Harper Hospital group held at Belle Isle, June 15th. On july lst we put on a candy sale working in cofoperation with the SONAH Staff, in an attempt to raise money to send a representative to the summer conference at Lake Geneva. In August this dream came true and a representative was sent to the ten day conference at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. A tea dance was given September 22nd in honor of the new class entering at that time. Also a i'Party of Games was put on in February, 1927, in honor of the new girls, in connection with these parties membership drives were conducted, bringing us many new members. At Thanksgiving time baskets were filled for live needy families, every member of the organization contributed some article of food and the huge baskets delivered to these most unfortunate families were met with the heartiest of thanks. During the year our Vesper Services were conducted every other Sunday. We hope that through the years to follow these services started by the Y only last year will prove to be a steadfast help to those in training here. Our organization holds two outstanding points in the life of a student nurse: 1. There are no dues. 2. Not denominational. So the first year of the organization comes to a close, carrying a membership of 165 girls, with colors flying. To the new cabinet we give our sincerest wish for growth and success in the new year.
