About two hundred meetings have been held at which lueetings we have had for leaders. prominent men from town. several members ofthe faculty and various students. In most eases the meetings have been of a helping and inspiring nature. The organization sent two men to a student conference at Indianapolis and two to the Lake Geneva conference.

A. and that means Young' YVomen's Christian Association. My nfl. we're not the whole push, why we will just tell you about ourselves. The Y. W. C. A. an organization founded for the purpose of developing' not only the spiritual but the social, intellect- ual and physieal powers as well. It is a world wide organization. having' branches in seventeen ditferent nations and at least two hundred and eiuhty student associations in this country. We cannot begin to tell you the work which this association does. but it is sulfieient to say it has helped to uplift hun- dreds of Qirls and has kept the white slave trade from the doors of some of America 's youizu' women. and what nobler work could one enuaae in I Our association at the Muncie Normal Institute is a eontinuation of the one formed at Marion by the college girls. Our girls mean to get the lessons assigned to thein by their Professors and so keep the intellectual standard at its height. XYe have not neuleeted the physical development. The gymnasium class instrueted by Miss Russell. the tennis and walks have helped to keep us strong and well. The socials uiven by our association. and the friendly intercourse of girls with eirls. have all tended to make us more desirable to our coiuitry. We always try to extend a helping hand to all new girls entering sehool and make them feel that they are one of us. Last but not least. the Bible classes. prayer meetings. and vesper services where heart To heart talks have been given, and where we have felt the presence of the Divine. have helped us to reach upward and outward and we wish to be counted among the uplifters of hiunanity.
