The Y.W.C.A. started this year with a large attendance and a great deal of enthusiam. Mrs. Wood helped us organize and has been our faithful and efficient ad- visor all year. At the second meet- ing Beatrice DeVore was elected president, Alice Featherngill vice president, Beula Bowen secretary. and Ruth Wylie treasurer. The other girls chosen to be on the cabinet were Mildred Geckler, Eunice Humphrey, Rachel Gansel, Madge Altman, Katherine Potts, and Josephine Blades. Soon after school started, the Y. M.. and Y. W. gave a party for the students, which was enjoyed by all who attended. The subject for meetings was Women in Business and Profes- sional World. Talks were given by women representing the different professions on the subjects, Wom- en in Politics, The Medical Career for Women, The Home Maker, The Business Women, The Educational the Woman Lawyer. were very profitable sorry that more girls advantage of the op- hearing something so Career, and All of these and we were did not take -portunity of worthwhile. The social der Mildred of the most active committees this year. In November they gave a party at the Y. W. rooms for some girls in the grade schools and Jun- service committee un- Geckler has been one ior high school. This was very suc- cessful and we hope to have more like it in the future. Our Y. W. helped with the Christmas party for the Mexicans. Each girl took a gift for one child and seemed to enjoy the party as much as did the guests. Josephine Blades represented our organization at the conference at Lawrence in November and brought back many helpful sug- gestions. The officers who have been elected for next year are: Alice Featherngill, president, Beula Bowen, vice president, Madge Alt- man, secretary, and Rachel Gansel treasurer. The other members of the cabinet will be chosen in the fall, some of them probably from among the new girls. This year has not been as suc- cessful as we hoped it would be, but perhaps we have laid the foundation for a bigger and better association. -DeVore THE Y. M. C. A. Early in the year, Mr. Risdon called a meeting of the boys to elect Y officers. The following were elected: James Gilmore, pres- ident,.Harold Shile, vice president, Robert Heckert, secretary, and Paul Ferrell, treasurer. Later Har- old Bullock, Niles Smith, Russell Greenlee and Orrin Wahl were ad- ded to the Cabinet. This -first year of our college Y. M. C. A. has not, we are frank to say, been one of unparalleled suc- cess. In fact, we were forced to discontinue regular meetings on account of lack of attendance. Yet we have accomplished some few things which are worthy of men- tion and even, perhaps, commenda- tion. In October, a college Y. M. con- ference was held at Emporia. Our College was represented by Harold Bullockg Independence was one of the two Junior Colleges represent- ed. In November we sent James Gilmore to K. U. Independence was ,the only Junior College rep- resented at that conference. Be- ing represented at these confer- ences has undoubtedly advertised our school. Our Y. M. also invited Mr. Grubbs of Pittsburg to speak at our assembly on the World Court. This proved to be, as most students agreed, our best assem- bly. Altho we have not accomplished as much as we would have liked to, this year, we hope that at least a foundation has been laid for fu- ture Y. M.'s. And we hope that next year we will have a very live- ly organization in our college. The officers for the next year were elected at the last meeting of the year. They are as follows: David Argo, president, Harold Bullock, vice-president, Robert Hill, secretary, and Jack Sanders, treasurer. -Gilmore
