'lin MIRROR-I I H - - 1929 l Y. W. C. A. Lowell has said, Earth's noblest thing, a woman perfected. It must be with this high and noble thought in mind that so many young women of the college have engaged in the work of the Y. W. C. A. It is of the sort which runs in the more quiet channels of service, yet its contribution can make it felt within a person's life perhaps better than the work of any other organization. The spirit of friendliness was first felt at the beginning of the term when as Big Sisters, the young women welcomed the Freshmen girls to the big social event of the year-a party sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Beyond these contacts there opens to each girl the opportunity to come in contact with and learn to know the faculty and students. Then as the girls took part in the initiation service--when in that long hushed processional, the spirit of Y. W. was given to each one to be carried on, they realized more and more they were a vital part of the world wide organization. There will always be the intensive group of those most deeply interested, but that does not lessen the fact that the Y. W. C. A. is for all. -- In order to keep better in touch with outside problems, two delegates went to the summer conference at Lake Geneva. They brought back fresh ideas and new inspirations to those who had to remain at home but who, nevertheless, had the satisfaction of hearing the firstfhand reports of the numerous discussions. ' The pageant given by the girls during pledge week very beautifully showed the spirit of the great Y. W. C. A., making itself known among working girls, among foreign girls, among poor little children and among college girls-anyone who knows the spirit of God. As the year closes, the girls look back on months of profit and inspiration, and upon this foundation are building for the year to come.
