Treasurer and Faculty Advisor The Young Men's Christian Association of the school was organized many years ago. Doubtless it was done by some farsighted philanthropist who saw it would- exert a great influence for good over the young men. The founder had vision enough to see that such an organization would give the young men training for meeting and handling life's problems. Evidently the founder also had in mind the threefold object of this association, namely, to lead students to become disciples of Christy to promote growth in Christian character, and to inspire them to enlist in life's service for Christ. Special effort ha.s been made this year to create a greater enthusiasm and a more fervent spirit in the association. We have had helpful pro- grams consisting of Bible studies, open discussions. and addresses on vital subjects. In fact we have tried to bring before the young men everything that would stimulate and cultivate the best spirit of service to God and man. It is the hope that the purposes of the Y. M. C. A. have'been so inculcated in the young men that they may be models of Christian citizenship wherever they may be. Then our labors will not have been in vain. r Y. W. C. A.

1926 THE NORMAL LIGHT 73 The Young Women's Christian Association is one of the most uplift- ing organizations of the school. The aim of this organization is to develop the physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual qualities of each young woman. In this organization great opportunities are afforded each stu- dent to grow by taking an active part in the general discussions and other activities of the society. Vesper services are held on the first Sunday of each month, services in which the Y. M. C. A. takes a part. The 'Y girls are allowed to have recreation periods twice a, month in the dining hall on Saturday nights. Here games and other aimusements make up the program of the evening. All of these avenues of endeavor bring about the fourfold development above mentioned.

It is in this organization that the students are trained in public speaking. Each Friday night programs are rendered by the various classes in order, each class striving to present the most creditable program. This pleasant rivalry stimulates each class to do its best, and helps each individual per- former develop his talents to the best of his ability. The school would not seem itself if there were no Lyceum. EMMA MOYE ---- MARY GREEN -------- THE SORIOSIS CLUB OFFICERS ANNIE SHEPHARD ----- MISS A. M.
