Over one-half of the school girls belong to it. The aim of the organization is to help the girls in their school life, both socially and spiritually. During registration a number of Y. W. C. A. girls assisted the new girls in finding rooming and boarding places. The Saturday after registration the new girls were taken in automobiles to see the different points of interest of the city. This was followed by tea at Governor Morehead's for both old and new girls. Meetings were held in Agriculture Hall every Thursday noon at 12:30 P. M. Programs consisted of helpful talks by men and women interested in the Y. W. C. A. - The first part of the year Miss Esther Warner was our Faculty adviser, but as she had to leave town on account of her work as county agent, Mrs. C. W. Smith took her place. Mrs. Smith is especially interested in our work and much credit is due her for the successful year. i The last four years the Y. W. has sent fifteen dollars annually to Turkey to be used for missionary purposes. This is in memoriam of Grandma Loughridge. Among the school functions during the year was an all-girls, luncheon and two joint Y. M. and Y. W. parties. 109

The Young Men's Christian Association has been one of the most prominent and prosperous organizations in the School of Agriculture during the past year. It was turned over to the new cabinet March 15, 1916, after which plans were made for getting delegates to go to Estes Park for the summer conference. Thru the efforts of the State Secretary and those who went last year three members were induced to go. When the school opened October 13, 1916, the whole cabinet came back ready to put their shoulders to the wheel and make the organization a success. In the course of the year the following things have been done for the benefit of the student body: The new students were assisted in finding rooming placesg a stag party was given in the new horse barn: a joint Y. M. and Y. W. mixer was given in Ag. Hallg a football banquet was given to show the appreciation of the school for the good work done by the team: a football carnival was given with the aid of the other organizations and classes 'in the school: the Shorthorns were initiated in the Judging Pavilion. During the Hrst semester a Bible study class was conducted, and the second semester Sunday afternoon meetings were held. The organization gave a supper once a month in the cafeteria, and these meetings were well attended and appre- ciated. Interesting speakers were engaged to talk on these occasions. We wish the coming cabinet success during the year 1918. Ill
