THE ASSOCIATION CLUB OF ,THE ACADEMY President ......................................... Helen Cowles Vice-President . . .......... Irene Dana Secretary ............................................ Nelle Eoif Treasurer ...... ' ............... . ............. Antoinette Guernsey The Association Club of the Academy girls was organized late in the month of March with the help ofthe College Y. W. C. A. The Association of the College, working through its many committees in the Academy, realized that it was no longer able to meet and serve the various needs and problems which are unique in the Academy life. The new Club gives to the girls of the Academy opportunity to do for themselves what others cannot do for them. In its purpose as well as in its organization, the Academy Club is a part of the great company of Young Women's Christian Associations of our country. It stands for companionship in the development of Christian character, and its expression through service for others. With its constitution still in the formative period, its activities are at present following closely those of the Y. W. C. A. of the College. Through its gath- erings and committee work, it gives opportunity for informal discussions of both indi- vidual and social school problems, and for representation of Academy interests. Through its social life, it stands for broader friendships, with good times for everybody. Through its social service work in Oberlin's little settlement at the Centennial, there is the chance to add much to the lives of many children whose opportunities for play and exercise are very limited. V The Association Club does not wish to add to the many demands of outside inter- ests. It hopes only to unify and give deeper significance to those already existing. It was formed to give service to the girls of the Academy and it will be of value to them in so far as they will make use of it.
