ff Q 'G' RED CROSS CHAPTER The Angels ot Mercy club is the only organization ot its kind found on any college campus in the United States. The club acquaints its members with the many services that the National Red Cross renders to the people ot the nation and attempts to broaden their understanding and respect ot human problems. The club's activities this year have been more extensive than has been obvious, as they have contributed to the War Fund as much money as they could raise on the campus. There has been established a Red Cross Ottice in the college and a tirst aid kit pur- chased and placed conveniently tor use in emergencies. The Home Nursing Class, which was taught every Wednesday night tor a period ot six weeks, was sponsored by this organization, and the members participated in the Nutrition Class which was taught the latter part ot the year. At Christmas time, the Chapter prepared baskets tor the needy, and helped the F. T. A. purchase and decorate a tree which stood in tront of the president's ottice.

THETA EPSILON CHI Much could be said about this home maker or home breaker organization. This purposetul group has obviously been more active than has any other club, giving teas, club parties, and various other entertainment. After working hard to raise money, these girls presented the home economics depart- ment with some new text books. The annual initiation which serves to stimulate interest and enthusiasm among the new members, provides an opportunity tor members ot the various years to carry over to the new girls the high ideals and aims tor which the club stands. The quiet impressive dignity ot the pledging ceremony was held in the evening with candles as the only illumination. The spirit ot this ceremony has lasted throughout the year.
