HOLIDQ CUOmeWS Christian BSSooiotioD Our Y. W. C. A. was organized for the purpose of adminis- tering to the religious and social welfare of the young women who come to our school. At the beginning of the year this organization gives a WNel- come Party to the ones who return, and to help those who are new in the school life to get acquainted. On that Wednesday morning girls with Y. W. tags may be seen shaking hands with girls whom they have never seen before, and making them feel at home. Each XVednesday morning throughout the entire year the meetings of the Y. W. C. A. are held in the Alpha room. The meetings are led by some member of the faculty, by some person outside the school, or by one of the girl students. The talks have been on friendship. service and social and religious subjects, and have been very helpful in many ways. Every Tuesday the Y. XV. Cabinet meetings are held in Mrs. II II Record's room. The Cabinet is made up of the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. and the Faculty Advisors, Mrs. Carrie L. Record and Miss Edna B. Fuller, who have given freely of their time and assistance. The chairmen of the com- mittees also attend these meetings. This year's Cabinet which was chosen in 1916 is composed of Miss Erma Hotchkiss, Pres- ident; Miss Jessie H. Merrihew, Vice President; Miss Anna V oit. Secretary; and Miss Agnes R. Shannon, Treasurer. The Cabinet for next year is made up of one girl from each department of the school. Miss Ruth Razey, Kindergarten and Primary, is President; Miss Florence Slaght, Regular Normal Course, Vice President; Miss Helen A. Seager. Music and Drawing, Secretary; and Miss Ruth Lambert. High School, Treasurer. It is hoped that this will help the Y. XV. C. A. to come into closer touch with all students and their work.

The I Farm Cede'lg t'XVorthy fellows; and like to prove most sinewy sword men? H H When our eountryk c2111 sounded thru our halls,- many were the hearts. willing to respond but few of our numbereould e11? list for military service. Then as the needs of the country became more apparent. the plea for increased agricultural and industrial servicecame. This time we were able to respond and a large part of the boys'enlisted as farm cadets. They went gladly, even though it was a sacrihce and meant the exchange Among those who have enlisted are the following: Russel Blodgett W'arren Blodgett Norris Damon Guy Tadt 'u 1! Richard Shaver George Tadt of pleasant schoolroom ease C? for strenuous Shop and farm work. Nevertheless, in spite Of aching backs and burned necks they give cheery reports of their work. Perhaps they are con- ccaling the hit of homesick longing they must feel for the long seats in the halls or the noonday promenades. Yet it is worth it all and we honor the boys who are thus doing their share for qur country. Hail to the ttFarm Cadets.

A ROSE 1-1. 13. In my hand I hold a withered rosce What doth it's language to me disclose? This odorless, colorless, faded rose, It tells me of gardens all dewy with morn, Of soft airs from heaven on gentle winds borne. Of the bright gates of sunset, of soft falling showers, Of the wing of the bee in industrious hours. Of neighboring daisies, 0f blossoming tree, This Queen of the Flowers 15 speaking to me Of infancy, bearing lost tokens of love. Pale roses,eunblown,eto the mansions above; Of. the glad hour of twilight, suggesting the air, That speaks of thyself when Cupid is there. Ah! XVell I memember when June was yet younge The arch of Ted roses. that over me swung: And the breath of Tred rosesy so wantonly Hung, Though time made the vine, and the arbor uncouth, And I hold but the ashes of roses and youthe IKv'e left to me duty, And friendship and truth.
