The students and faculty have backed the tTYh in every undertaking in a great way. Indications are that greater work will be done next year. Social activities on the campus were opened last Fall by a student mixer. Another social was given at the beginning of the spring semester by the Y. M. C. A. and Brotherhood Class of the Community Church. The ttY Half Hourh meetings have been held weekly throughout the year. and have proved very helpful. Another feature of the work this year was the Discussion Groups, held on the campus, which have served to give the men a chance to gather in small groups to discuss Vital subjects of life. In November Dr. Exner, social hygiene expert of New York City, gave two great lectures to students. In December the student Friendship Fund was presented to the body, and a goodly sum of money was raised. During the Christmas vacation five delegates from the Farm at- tended the Y. M. C. A. Conference at Asilomar, where nearly three hundred men from the colleges of California, Oregon, Arizona and Nevada gathered together for a great meeting, which lasted eight days. The ttY,t took part in the Jitney Fair, one of the big events of the year, by presenting the stunt, ttThe Shooting of Dan McGrew? The Advisory Board, composed of Faculty and student representa- tives, is an important branch of the Y. M. C. A., and is doing much to strengthen the association. 71

C . x x . h Ws'SXiXkXM. s, e t BURGBACKER The Glee Club HE PURPOSE of the Glee Club has been to bring men with musical inclinations together and provide music in various forms for general meetings held weekly and on other occasions. With this aim in mind the Glee Club started this year with much pep and enthusiasm. At the beginning of the Fall semester arrangements were made and practice begun to make up a road show. After a great deal of untiring effort on the part of the Director, Mr. A. M. Woodman, a group of skits, solos and group singing were presented in a performance at the Vaca- ville Auditorium in conjunction with the motion picture theatre. Later two shows were staged at the Grammar School Auditorium in Davis, with great success. Towards the end of the semester another show was given in Elmira to a small but appreciative audience. The Spring semester has not been very active insofar as perform- ances are concerned. The club, however, has presented musical numbers before all of the general assemblies and other meetings, such as those held during Stockments Week. A policy of direct musical aid to all other enterprises was assumed. A great deal was done toward furnishing mus10 for the Jltney Fair and Picnic Day. It is hoped .that with the experience the members have obtained, and theavallablllty of good talent the next year, the Glee Club will enlarge Its membership and scope and be ranked among the best.
