-If ' STOUT Y. W. C. A. . No social organization of the Stout Institute has as large a membership as has the Y. W. C. A.. The aim of the association is to raise the ideals and standards of Chr-istian conduct and living of the students and to provide' social activities. Last summer Stout was represented at the National Lake Geneva Conference, and the girls returned deter- mined to make this year of Y. W. C. A. work mean something to the school. The members have enthusi- astically received the plans proposed by the Cabinet and have worked faithfully throughout the year. Mem- bers of the faculty also have assisted greatly in the work accomplished. The annual mixer, September 11, was held in -the armory because of bad weather. The attendance was large and the girls report a good time. A Can- dlelight Recognition service was held on October 4 when SOCIAL September 11, 1917, the annual Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Mixer was held in the Stout armory. Most of the new students and all the old were there. As there were not enough men to go around it was decided to have Mr. Elsinger auction them off to the highest bidders. Some of our finest young men went for as small a consideration as a bottle of pop, a package of life-savers, an ice cream cone or a trip up Wilson Creek. Mr. Eslinger says that some of these bids still remain unpaid and wishes to announce that he has at least five tripsup Wilson Creek and several boxes of kisses coming. Did the boys have a good time? Just ask them! The Stout Girls' Glee Club gave a very good and well selected program at the Stout auditorium, April 5. The ACT the new members united with the association. Much time and effort have been spent in war work. The association is supporting three Belgian babies and S400 was raised for the Y. M. C. A. Student Welfare Fund. Twelve World Democracy Classes were estab- lished and faithfully attended for eight-weeks in the spring.

IVITIES - numbers were varied and some part at least reached every music lover in the audience. A good deal of credit must be given the girls and Miss Gilkerson For their hard work. Solos, both vocal and instrumental, interpretative dances, and some clever inipersonations, made the program a great success. Two dances wfre given by the Gaveleers in the Stout gymnasiumg one in the early fall and another in the early spring. These were the best attended and most heartily enjoyed dances given during the year. Friday night, November 23, 1917, the annual dance and entertainment was given by the Sophomores and Juniors for the Freshmen, so it included the entire student body. The dance was given in the gymnasium which was decorated in Stout colors and looked attrac- l IContinued on page twenty-eightl page seventeen
