The organization which has done more to create a college spirit in Junior College than any other is the Y. W. C. A. The reason for it ' s success is due to the high ideals which are so beautifully expresed in it ' s constitution. 1. — To lead students to faith in God through Jesus Christ. 2. — To lead them in membership and service in the Christian Church. 3. — To promote their growth in Christian faith and character, especially through the study of the Bible. 4. — To influence them to devote themselves in united effort with all Christians to making the will of Christ effective in human society and to extending the kingdom of God through the world. The Y. W. C. A. was organized the latter part of last year and we were able to send a ' Stuck-up to Asilomar. Dorothy Carothers was our representative there, and she has done a great deal to help us this year. We felt very proud that our organization was recognized and that we were able to send a representative although our organization was so young. Ruth Klahn will be our Stuckup next summer, and we know she, too, will bring us inspiration. Our activities have been centered on social service this year. We have helped dress a little nine yar old girl and tried to bring cheer to another little shut-in also nine years old. At Christinas time we sent out baskets and i oxes. There were many other interesting and helpful things done during the year. I used the word helpful advisedly for I believe we who worked for these others less fortu- nate than ourselves benefitted more than they because we were able to see other sides of life and become broader and better thereby. Our girls have been able to enjoy a great deal of college life by going to the various conferences, thus being associated with typical college girls by being in conference and by being entertained by them. To promote college life on our campus we had three house parties, one at the beach and the others in the mountains. Several luncheons, picinc . lunches and dinners have been very successful. The swimming club is a great success and has created a fine fellowship among the women. We feel that our Y. W. C. A. has given us a taste of what college life really is. and we believe that as we pass on to other colleges we shall not be strangers wherever we go, as all Y. W. C. A. girls everywhere have so much in common, that we are friends. Marion Gerrard, Secretary. Page Twenty-one
