A. s LTHOUGH one of the minor clubs of Harris, the Young Men's Christian Association, has succeeded rather creditably in its activities this semester. At each weekly meeting, the members come prepared to discuss some modern issue or topic of general interest suggested by dz, 9-fb . . . . L., rg the facul advisor Mr. Hintz. These o en forums and informal dis- , P cussions tend to produce at the meetings a club-like atmosphere which is seldom found at the gatherings of other societies. It is indeed remarkable, and yet fortunate, that the club has such a small membership when it presents programs of such merit. The officers are: President .............. ............

They acquire a knack of conversing and expressing themselves which is unobtainable in the class-room. Illustrated talks are given by Dr. Rougier, the faculty advisor. The members seem to have developed an extraordinary capacity for working out French crossword puzzles and engaging in word formation contests, for such are the fads that occupy most of their time at the meetings.

Con- 1-Vb scientious and earnest practice has been the by-word. 3 ' In an atmosphere where figures and symbols reign supreme, the members of the squad meet every Week and revel in the abstruse sci- ence of numbers. Mr. Newman has supervised their activities and has aided them to achieve the perfecton for which they strove. Much credit is due to this instructor not only for proving himself so excellent a coach, but also for having given so generously his time and energy to the improvement of the calibre of his squad. Ruben Fine, whose Wizardry in things mathematical and scientific has gained recognition, is the captain, and Joseph Kaff is the manager of the team. The other members of this team are Herzog, Hauser, Roeder and Sher- iff, while Mendelssohn, Roos, and Chasick act as alternates. Page One Hundred Six
