SQQVXL College without a social committee is something we trust we shall never know. One of the other clubs we might be able to forget if absolutely necessary, but never, no never, the social committee. For this impressive group of nine members from the three upper classes arranges and plans all our dances and teas. Its efficient members take full charge of music, decorations, and programmes for the Hallowe'en, Christmas, Spring, May Day, and Farewell dances. Besides these affairs, they sponsor one dance each winter for the benefit of another organization. The most important occasion of the year for the committee is May Day, when a great many responsibilities are loaded upon these most adequate shoulders. The tea and the dance are only two of those responsibilities. And so we are very grateful to our social committee, and are conlident that whatever affairs rest in these hands are bound to be a success. QQNlNlllllllEE CHAIRMAN-' JANE Y0s'r Nmety-5e'e'm

MRT QILUIB The Art Club was 'formed in 1934 and since then interest in it has developed rapidly. All Art Bflajors, and also those who are interested in the field of art, whether it be artistic talent or appreciation, are members. Our meetings are teas at which members give talks on branches of art in which they are interested. XVe have also been able to sponsor a few trips to art museums, and to places such as the Peasant Shoppe in Philadel- phia, and Strawberry Nlansion in Fairmount Park. This year We spent a delightful evening at Stanley Arthurs' studio in VVilmington, and visited the Graphic Art Club in Philadelphia. In our club We mix business with pleasure, for every June We have a picnic, usually at Lovers, Retreat, at which time the officers for the next year are elected. VVe hope that through the influence of our club more people will become interested in the broad Held of art. PREMDENT- CHARLOTTE Srour GERTIRUD E Dim P ER Ninety-.fix SECRETARY:rREASURER-

The Young VVomen's Christian Association, one of the oldest activities of the W'omen's College, was organized just a few months after the college first opened its doors. The aim of the Y. VV. C. A. was stated thus-g'The Student Christian Association endeavors to strengthen the spiritual life of the students, to help in forming Christian ideals, and to develop Christian leadership that will have a far reaching effect. Weekly Bible classes were conducted, and, in connection with these, there was a Sunday vesper service presided over by the president of the college. Groups also met to discuss missionary and Social Service Wo1'k. From the very first the Y. WV. C. A. engaged in campaigns to raise money in order that the college might be well represented at conventions. japanese Sales, Bakes, Shoe Cleaning Services, and the sale of that well- known candy bar, the Brewster Bar, constituted the most numerous money saving ventures. Today the Y. VV. C. A. still has charge of the weekly religious meeting which is now called Niatins. The service at the present time is entirely planned and conducted by the college girls. This organization sponsors the little sister, big sister movement, by which each Freshman, as she enters college, is given a Junior big sister to whom she may go 'lor help and advice. Once a month Supper Club meets in Kent Dining Hall, where, after dinner, speakers talk to us on many 1nte1'esting subjects. This is a com- paratively nevv phase of the Y. NV. C. A. work, but it is very popular on our campus. Besides these more serious matters, the Y. XV. C. A. also has many social activities, such as the annual picnic at Welsli Tract Church, scavenger hunts, and the annual Japanese Sale. Y. W.
