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.

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

ROBERT FLESLAND, ALMA JOSEPHSON, LEONE LANGFORD, WILLARD HOLMBERG. The 4-H Club HE 4-H Organization on this campus is composed of students who are members of 4-H clubs in theirhome communities. And what a group this is! Imagine, gathering people from counties all over the state of Minnesota, and from different states of the Union. The motto of all 4-H clubs is 'lMake the Best Better, and all members take this for a goal in their Work. During the summer various projects, such as Leadership, Clothing, Livestock, Garden and Crops, are carried out. There are Livestock Judging and Dairy Judging teams, too, which participate in county, district and state events. The programs of the club are planned with the idea in mind that every member is anxious to exchange ideas with the others and to gather new information to take back home. Mr. T. A. Erickson, state club Leader, gave interesting and inspiring talks at different times during the year. Mr. Kittleson, Miss Schenck, Miss Wessel, Mr. Dankers and others also attended the meetings and made many practical and helpful suggestions for club work. During the past summer a number of the club members were employed as county club agents. Several members of the club have received positions the past summers as paid county leaders. The object of these leaders was to increase the enthusiasm of the boys and girls in the county for 4-H club work, to encourage them and to become members of this organization and to teach them better and newer methods of project Work. -LEONE LANGFORD.
