HE Young Men's Christian Association, which is one of the oldest organizations on the campus, has been very successful this year in both its religious and social activities. . A stag party was given the first Tuesday of each term, and on the following Saturday a Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. mixer was held in the gymnasium. Both events were well attended and many new acquaintances were made among the new and old students. ' Every Sunday morning Song Service was held in the Fireplace room of the Home Economics building, which was sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. Here Dean Coffey met the group and gave his interesting and inspiring talks. Fellowship meetings were held Thursday evenings. These meetings opened with short periods of worship, after which talks were given by prominent men. Last quarter Dr. Harrison told of missionary work in Arabia. Mr. Drew gave a demonstration in knot tying and Gene Wilson showed pictures of a Canadian canoe trip. This term a series of character and personality talks was given by different well known speakers. Two joint meetings were held with the Y. W. C. A., the one an outdoor hamburger fry and the other a stunt clinic. An outdoor winter party was sponsored by the two organizations. The secretary, Jack Sleeper, deserves much credit for the success of the Y. M. C. A. -HJALMAR HULIN. Page Eighty

The Girls' Student Council HE seven members of which the Girls' Student Council consists are selected from various classes. One is chosen from the intermediate class, three from the senior class, two from the junior class, and the secretary of the freshman class auto- matically' becomes a member. They are nominated by petitions, signed by the girls in the different classes. At the first council meeting the group is organized, and a president, vice president and secretary-treasurer are elected. The Girls' Student Council acts with the Men's Student Council in supervising and directing school activities with the help of the principal and other school authorities. The two councils conduct tours and excursions for the students to points of interest in and about the Twin Cities. This year some of the places visited were the Pillsbury Flour Mills, the State Capitol, the Art Museum and the Minneapolis Public Library. These tours are educational as well as a means of recreation for the students. The Council acts as an advisory board to assist new students and it helps to solve problems outside the jurisdiction of the Girls' Self-Government Association. -OLGA FRUECHTE. Page Sc'z'z'u1y-nine

The Girl Reserves HE Girl Reserves have been a very active organization throughout the fall and Winter terms. The theme for the fall quarter meetings was handicraft. The girls learned how to tool leather, and they made pocket books, album covers and wrist Watch bands. A number of interesting parties and hikes were enjoyed by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. At the beginning of each term the two organizations staged a mixer. They also planned the Thanksgiving party, and the Wiener Roast that turned out to be a Hamburger Fry. At Christmas time when the girls of the dormitory gave a party for the orphans of the Jean Martin Brown Home, the Girl Reserves provided a gift for each child. The winter term was devoted to a series of Charm Chats beginning with Appearance, Art, and Attractivenessf' and continuing with Living, Learning and Leisuref' t'Fun, Fancy, and Friendship, Culture, Charm and Courtesy,', Beauty, Brains and Boysf' and ending with Presence, Poise and Personality. These meetings have all been very enjoyable as well as educational. During the winter term the girls had a taffy pull, a tobogganing, a skating, and a Valentine party. The purpose of the Girl Reserves is, To find and give the best. The slogan is, To face life squarely. Each Girl Reserve tries to live up to the code to the best of her ability. ' -WILMA SOEHREN.
