H r The Young Men's Christian Association of Sioux Falls College had a membership of sixty men students during the year 1937-SS. Organized to help develop well-rounded Christian character. the association met jointly every Monday evening with the YVVCA for devotional meetings and sponsored several campus projects during the year. At the beginning of the year the YMCA conducted an all-freshmen picnic at Sherman park and has, on subsequent occasions, invited the men students to other social functions. Every six weeks a stag party has been held under the direction of the social chairman. During the year, two religious emphasis weeks were held on the campus under the joint auspices of the YMCA-YVVCA. The Reverend Mr. Reuhen Nelson, Bethel junior college, was secured during the first semester, and President Behan, the second. Supplementary assistance was furnished by the local groups. The two organizations also cooperated in conducting a Christmas-vacation oyster stew, an all-school basket social, and an individual subscription campaign to raise funds to send delegates to the National Student Assembly in Oxford, Ohio. Dorothy Boardman, Dallas French, and Roy Pennington represented the college at that convention. Near the close of the year the YWCA and YMCA sent a large delegation to the state Y convention held at Brookings, S.

These co-eds organized in the fall of of 1936 for the purpose of furthering literary studies and encouraging the development of a friendlier spirit on the campus Only upperclassmen are eligible and selection is on the basis of the following qualities: schol- arship, character, personality, dependability and promptness. Thus the freshman year serves as a probation period. At business meetings, held on the second Tuesday of every month, current problems, book reviews and other topics of interest have been discussed. Numerous social events- a Christmas party, picnic, style show, and all-school tea for the girls of SFC-have been scattered through- out the year. The club preserves a vivacious spirit noticeable not only in its own activities, but in all campus events.

During this same week, the YM-YW' sponsored a picnic for freshmen and upperclassmen and an all-school tea for faculty and students. In the early fall the YVVCA sponsored the Big Sister week culminating in an attractive luncheon in Glidden Hall. This was an attempt to aid in orientation of freshmen girls, and to help them find their places of worship. It was also a means of establishing friendship between upperclassmen and freshmen. In February the YVVCA sponsored Heart-sister week, which ended with a tea at Glidden Hall. The YVVCA is responsible for helping to maintain a Christian atmosphere on the campus. The YM-YVV meetings are held each Monday night with discussions, musical programs, and devotional meetings. Prayer meetings each week-day morning in the Rose Room were planned by the devotional chairmen of YMCA and YXVCA.
