 7 if I U dtubeitt Social Committee ®HE Student Social Committee, composed of three representatives from each class and Miss Halhorn as advisor, sponsors the social activities of the student body during the year. The outstanding work of the fall term was the putting of the skating rink in condition for the use of the public. Because of the assistance of the City Council, we were able to make many improvements which heretofore were impossible. Through the co-operation of the Forensic Department, we were fortunate in obtaining Dr. Cochran of the Carleton College Faculty to give a number of readings to the student body. Throughout the year, it has been the desire of the Social Committee to have a special dance corresponding to the masquerade of last year. This year for an attraction we secured Joe Peycr’s Orchestra. In addition to the dance during the spring term, we are making plans for an all school picnic to be held sometime in Besides fostering these four major projects the Social Committee has put on many matinee and evening dances. f [■'; V) One Hundred Sere t1hThre

I trie key F««KT How Mr. Jncobsoi ©. m. c. a. flTHK program of the Y. M. C- A, during the school year 1927 28 was marked hy several new and unique features, which contributed much in making the Y. M. C A. not only the largest organization on the campus, but also one of distinct service to the students of the school. An enlargement of the cabinet to include six new positions made possible more widespread contacts with actual campus life and built up a strong nucleus with which to carry on the program of the “Y.” Feeling that perhaps the greatest distinctive contribution of the Y. M. C. A. should he the building of Creative Christian Personality, we have placed more emphasis than ever before upon the spiritual values of life. This was accomplished chiefly by means of well planned and carefully conducted devotional services. Joint devotional meetings held with the Y. YV. C. A. and the N. C. A. on various special occasions replaced the joint discussion meetings of former years. During the second week of school in Januury Dr. Arthur Rugh spent three days with us. discussing personal und campus problems. The beauty and sincerity of Dr, Hugh's Christian character left u distinct impression and an uplifting influence upon all who came to know him. In order to better understand international problems and to appreciate the view points of peoples in other lands, several foreign students were invited to River Kails to speak on various phase of the international situation, I hi chan S. Teja from Indio gave us some Orientul criticisms off Western Christianity; Mr. Iwao Kukushima. a Japanese, spoke on Japanese und American relationships. Walter S. Watson, an American who served on a 'indent commission to Russia in 1927. gave us an insight into many phases of modern Ru «ian life. Five delegates were sent to the Cake Geneva Summer Conference last spring, two men were sent to the Student Volunteer Convention at Detroit during the Christmas holiday , and eleven members off the cabinet attended the Cabinet Training Conference at Mcnomonie. In a social way the Y' continued to take a leading part on the campus. The opening att-•chool mixer in September, the annual l»ean soup festival or stag party, and the joint picnic with the Y. W. C. A. und N. C. A. in the spring were unusually successful Altogether, considering these points and the fact that 135 men—two thirds of the men in school are “Y members, cerluinly it can be -said that this has been a most successful year for the River Falls Y.” One Hundred Sreentp-Fire
