A. holds the foremost place in the religious activities of our college life. Its membership is numbered by the entire student body and faculty. The Friday morning chapel periods are lead by the Y. W. and they also sponsor the Vesper services on Sunday afternoons. The social activities of the year have been a get-together swimming party the second week of school, a Hallowe'en dance, and the supervision of the Carnival. The first joint conference of the Y. VV. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. was held at Hollister, Missouri, in June, 1927. Miss Mary Lee Newell represented Synodical.

It is at this time probably more than any other of the busy Week, that our minds are at rest and We can give thanks to the Bestovver of all our blessings. Our Vespers are sponsored by the Y. VV. C. A. Each week a leader is chosen from among the boarding students for the live o'c1ock hour. -The service is very simple, but we feel as though we are drawn closer to each other by these intimate and personal appeals.

766 S6772Zi7Z0!6 HE Seminole brings into concrete form the main pictures of college life but inspite of the earnest efforts of the Staff it has been an impossi- bility to record many of the phases where we really were at home. For instance: Who can soon forget the night the Freshies were kindly but firmly commanded to- dance around the bonfire and sing the college songs and then surrender their caps to their respective Seniors? The speeches that followed! Noble, weren t they? Believe it or not! Turningto a more serious scene the first Y. W. C. A. chapel program was lovely and inspiring as the entire student body responded to the call for membership. But the most exciting thirty minutes of the year was the morning Mr. Stoy de- liberately held us in suspense for hours it seemed before he announc d the official beginning of the Christmas holidays. We were reduced to- chills and tears when the date was finally announced-! ! ! Time out for three cheers for the Faculty! Speaking of the fall of Rome-Rome doesnt even hold a candle to the time Helens and Mary Helens bed fell. Craslz! Silence. I' hen a chorus from the hostile group at the door Will you please keep quiet? At the flick o'f the light 'why was it even the cold wrath of those enforcing Student Government laws joined in shrieks of laughter? Now I ask you! Do you remember the night the residents of the Theta Tau suite deemed it neces- sary to take their church cut to learn the Alma Mater? In spite of the applause it didn t go over so bi '. Ahem. I wonder why? And honestly now, wasnt it a shame the way food disappeared out of the pantry? Even our best friends won t tell us how. Evidently it tasted like more. But the annual would not be complete if we forgot to mention that word-tha word-that would cause sudden silence where hilarity had previously reigned. I is none other -than the mere mention of a head call-down. c J . rc vs C J J 3 1 Q r 9 J L' 1 1 x f cz is 1 1 ' 0 c i i b J 1 i cc Ji Q rr :J Even though these most important dramatic events are left unrecorded it is the hope of the Staff that the 1928 Seminole will follow in the footsteps of its predeces- sors in that the Seminole of 1925 won first place in Missouri and received high ranking in the National contest. The Seminole of 1926 again won first place in Missouri and a higher ranking in the National contest, and the Seminole of 1927 was ranked second in Missouii in Class Seven 'ind received honorable mention in the National contest XQSX I. fifty C if C C
