A. has done everything in its power to further the social and spiritual life of the campus. With the cooperation of the Y. W. C. A. it has carried through the all college mixer, a progressive party and the picnic in the spring. Another much appreciated activity is the second-hand book store which enables many students to purchase their books more cheaply. The planning of Y. M. C. A. activities is done by an executive council composed of the officers and committee men. These are men -seriously interested in Y work. Their endeavor has been to discover the needs of the students and to plan to Hll these needs. N Meetings were held at the beginning of the school year to help the men of the college to become better acquainted with fellow students. Many common interests were discussed and a fine fellowship resulted. Later in the year the Y. M. C. A. cabinet supported the establishment of the International Relation Club. This club is rapidly finding a place in the activity of the students and is filling a need today.

Many were the dramas presented before the open mouthed students with the object of rousing pep. Melodramas which had not been on the board for years became vehicles for blushing maidens four tearnj and black bearded villians ftheir team, and many were the pitfalls waded to reach victory at last.

On registration day the upper class girls brought the new girls to the Welcome Tea which was held at Ballard Hall. During the first week the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C.

The annual Christmas party for the children of Fairfield was attended by about one hundred and forty children who were given candy and gifts. The Y. W. C. A. cabinet is grateful to the P. E. O. Chapters C and HA, the welfare department of the Women's Club, the merchants and business men of Fairfield who generously contributed to the Christmas tree.
