Y. W. C. A. The Y, XY. C. .X. in Kalamazoo College is the one organization on the campus which gives every girl an Opportunity to behrought into active touch with every other girl in the institution. On every Tuesday afternoon the weekly program un- der the leadership of students or visiting speakers is held and from these meetings the girls go away with a clearer understanding of what is needed to Fill their social and religious needs. The social life of the is, also, worthy of consideration. The annual Hare and Hound, the Yu party for new girls. is one of the jolliest affairs of the year, and the sister-college banquet given every spring to raise funds for a girls' school in Gingling, China. is the big co-ed event each year. Every sunnner girls are sent to the Geneva conferences and the inspiration they gain there is brought hack and shared with the girls who are unable to go. In this way, and through our held representative. the girls are advised upon the awake and active. 1921 RUTH YERCOE .... 3lARION GR.tvB1EL. .. IDA 1i1sTLER. . . l'l15LliN CARY ,...

Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. situation in Kalamazoo College is rather unique. For a number of years past, due to so many other religious organizations and to a thriv- ing in the city. our organization has not been the living, vital force it should be. .-Xt the beginning of this school year under the able leadership of Tom Yroeg. the put on a big reception to the incoming students. This was a decided success. lt was deemed advisable by the active members of the YU under the existing conditions, to throw all energy into the Gospel team work. Consequently with the aid of Professor Severn and Dr. llachelor, the president of the Y. H. C. A., organized two Gospel teams of live men each. These teams have gone out to the small churches of the state and held religious services. Uur plan was three-fold: first, to instill new life and inspiration into the hearts and minds of the Christian people in the towns: second. to tell them of a Christian college where they might send their sons and daughters with every assurance of their receiving the best re- ligious training possibleg third, to give practice and experience to the college men in public speaking. Now what of the future? lYill it be Gospel team work next year? Gr shall we strive for a revival of weekly meetings. :Xt present we have thrown our forces with those of the Y. XV. C. .X, in order to make the College prayer meeting a suc- cess. l.et us all get together for a bigger. better, more enduring Y. M. C. A. in 1923. Let us all hope and pray for a greater spirit of religious enthusiasm among the men of old liazoo.
