Y. M. C. A. Neatly packed away in a corner of the Thaw Memorial Library and toward the back is a snug little room where only Y.M.C.A.'ers can go, There's where those whiz-bang pop-corn feeds are held and that's where the fellows have to pay only ten cents for lunch. At those meetings, held once a week, discussions on current topics and how they are affected by religion, constitute a pleasurable and interesting evening. Once a month the Y.M.C.A. holds a joint meeting with the Y.W.C.A. and here alll types of questions are debated - - example one: Can a fellow still be a gentleman if he doesn't break his bread? Y.M.C.A. fellows work hand in hand with the Y.W. in the all-college mixer held in the fall, the Little Abner party which follows up the expected and highly entertaining Sadie Hawkins. During Spiritual Emphasis Week the fellows assist in making a true Christian spirit among the students. This event never ceases in its importance, and each year provides for the students a week of spiritual devotion. Another activity for this particular campus organization is the Y book publication which lists the college calendar, a faculty directory, as well as the students in their respective classes. Without this book many a student might well have gone in- to oblivion. The advisory committee includes Dr. F. Y. St. Clair, chairman: Dean Alex C. Burr and Dr. F. P. Fuller, who prove invaluable in their suggestions. Officers were President, Robert Salisbury: Vice President, Kenneth Meier and Secretary-Treasurer, Burton Turbett. W. Ortman, B. Turbett. K.

Throughout the year they make college a place more like home, but even so - - home was never like this! - Besides its weekly meetings, Y.W. has initiated into the college curriculum a series of fun events that every IC student looks forward to with interest. Sadie Hawkin'sDay when either you do or don't get your man, and the returning Lil Abner party constitute two of the main activities. Others include the All College Mixer, the mysterious and altogether harrowing Heart-Sister Week, Coffee Forums, Spiritual Emphasis Week and the Friendly Blaze where girls from Tioga to Tipperary meet and exchange greetings. Special activities include cabinet suppers and advisory meetings. Up Wisconsin way, come summertime, members enjoy the Geneva Conference. Besides main speakers and meetings the girls enjoy such recreations as sailing, swimming and golf - - and Yerkes Observatory is there too! Impressive ceremonies sgem to be a talent for Y.W. officers and members. The Rose Garden Party deserves special note as does also the quiet and beautiful initiatory service. With Etta Mae Vasey as President, Margaret Wanner as Vice President, Phyllis Travis as Secretary and Floy Stough as Treasurer, Y.W.C.A. may be assured that their year was one of great success.

LIEE SERVICE RECRUITS The Life Service Recruits, or more familiarly, the L.S.R., is the only religious or- ganization on the campus whose membership consists of both young men and women. Maybe it's because the group is a mixed one that they are so energetic - - you know, boys and girls together or perhaps it's just because they do have a lot of people who will really work and support the ideals of the organization, but they do get things done. The activities include presenting chapel programs, conducting projects in the Iamestown churches and assisting with Spiritual Emphasis Week. They organize open forums and discussions with missionaries and other Christian workers and also carry on correspondence with former members who are in Christian service. During the holidays they sing Christmas Carols at various institutions and at other times during the year they bring cheer to the less fortunate by visiting hospitals, the Old Folk's home and the Crippled Children's Home. The administration was capably carried out with Alice Marsden as President, Lucille Flesjer as Vice President, Florence Saude as Secretary, and Burton Turbett as Treasurer. Under their advisors A. I. Dressler and K. G. McComb, 'the Life Service Recruits are fast becoming a better known and a more vital part of our campus and are succeeding in their aim of spreading Christian teachings on our campus.
