Vice-President S0001 Chmrmcm Harold Leet Robert lntress Sec'-Treasurer Publicity Chairman The YMCA is the most inclusive men's organization on the Parsons campus. All men students are invited to enter into its program of building Christian faith and character. Oneof the most successful features of the YMCA's campus program has been the many allecollege social functions that it has sponsored. Mixers, skating parties, progressive parties and dances are a general indication of the Y's broad social program, which has had the enthusiastic support of the student body. Under the leadership and guidance of Phillip Allen, president, the YMCA has provided effective and interesting programs, with educators, ministers, laymen, and students as speakers. Gospel teams sent out to rural churches having no regular services have been effective instruments of the Y in Christian work which has extended throughout the southeastern section of Iowa.
