Our J. C. is Invited to the National Y. M. C. A. Last year, for the first time in the history of tiie Junior (Colleges of Southern California, an invitation was extended to them liy llie Y. M. C. A. to send official representatives to the National Student Conference at Asiloniar. which was held during the Christmas vacation of 1922. Such an event should he of the greatest sianificance for these new institutions as it means that their value as educational units is being recognized and ap|)roved, hv as important an association as the Y. M. C. A. The purposes of these annual conferences is to give the college students liroadcr views of life than those that the average man can get in the universities: to create in them a more human and Christian spirit; to acquaint them with the great religious, social, economic and political problems of the nation and of the world; and to make them realize all the needs of our complex present society. In short, they are intended to form a more worthv, efficient and desirable type of men. A number of the most prominent men in Sociology, Politics, Economics and Religion hold a series of conferences uhich are both interesting and helpful for the students. The former lines would account tor the real benefits of the conference. Now. to be just, it is necessary to mention the opportunity to have a good time during the trip and at the camp. I honestly believe I had never before enjoyed myself as thoroughly nor laughed so much as when I was going to and coming from the Con- ference. Then, at the camp, the best students of the Western colleges and universities were present, and every one was trying to make the most friendly and attractive atmosphere. Asilomar is beautiful and picturesque, the week ' s lime very well dis- tributed, and the program of conferences, games, sightseeing, etc., very attractively arranged. Every one who goes is necessarily delighted. The one thing that I regret, however, is that this year I was the onix incrnlitM of our Student Body fortunate enough to take advantage of this admiraiiic opporlunitv. Mav 1 hope that in the vear to come there will be many representatives ot our .1. C. at tliis conference as it has a value which from every sland[)oint cannot be oMTcsti- malcd.

The Literary Club President Charles Miller Vice President Harry Farrar Secretary-Treasurer Hazel Kinsell The Literary Club is one of this vear ' s additions to our growing list of organiza- tions. The Club was organized by the students interested in the general subject of literature. The meetings are held bi-weekly at the home of Mrs. Northcross. The program is generally in the form of book reviews and papers given by the members of the club. One of the most interesting programs of the year was the talk given by Mr. Joseph Jackson on Southern Folklore. For the coming year there are many projects under way to make this club one of the best of the college.
