YMCA The Young Men ' s Christian Association, spon- sored by Mr. Paul Smay, meets every Wednesday evening in the Y room. A study of the various phases of Christianity included discussions led by guest speakers which helped to clarify many disputable topics. Three representatives from the chapter en the campus were sent to the World Christian Movement Conference at Carnegie Tech in October. YWCA The aim of the Young Women ' s Christian Association is to develop each of its members spiri- tually, socially, physically, and mentally. This was promoted in many ways: through monthly meetings, morning watch services, evening snacks, teas, the inspiring Burning Altar service at Thanksgiving, and through representation at the Student Christian Movement Conference at Carnegie Tech. The sponsor of the YWCA is Miss Mary Cruber. ERSKINE CLUB in an effort to create for the college students a home atmosphere, the Erskine Club of the United Presbyterian Church had as its theme this year, Christian Fellowship. This was carried out through regular Sunday morning class meetings, bi-monthly play nights, and parties at the homes of members and at the church. This year, the club, under the sponsor- ship of Dr. Clinton File, had seventy-five members. LUTHERAN CLUB The outstanding achievement of the Lutheran Club this year was the organization of a division of the Lutheran Student Association on campus. The thirty-five members of the club under the leadership of Miss Aagot Borge met regularly every Sunday morn- ing. The activities of the year included sending a guest representative to the North Atlantic Regional Con- ference of the LSA, a welcome party in September, and a spring party.
