Y. W. C. A. Of primary importance to every boarding student at Ward-Belmont is the Y. W. C. A. It is concerned with the friendships which are developed between the girls them- selves and a realization of a finer, higher spirit. Every Sunday evening the Y takes charge of the devotional services at Vespers and introduces local speakers. Under the direction of this body, a speaker from each hall has charge of weekly open discussion, and in these meetings the students express their viewpoints on serious question s. The many different committees of the Y provide a number of activities for every girl, since various kinds of work are carried on by each committee. At the beginning of school, as well as all through the year, the Y sponsors civic tours to acquaint the students with their foster city.

MILESTONES 0 CO 0 u I h High School Boarding Student Council Headed by Elizabeth Gridley, the hiigh School Boarding Student Council is a very recent organization on the campus, having been started during this school year. Being elected to serve their fellow students on this council is the highest tribute that can be paid to a girl by her classmates. She is fulfilling a position of honor and trust, and is constantly an example of behavior to her fellow classmen. The High School Council was originated for the purpose of giving the high school girls their own self-government. It was felt that these girls could treat their own problems more satisfactorily than a group that did not come into close contact with them. It has served as another means to make the distinction between college and high school girls clearer and more understandable.

MILESTONES 0) 0 u Z h Hyphen Those girls rushing around the campus with pencil, scratch pad, and a frantic look in their eyes are none other than the Hyphen reporters out on an assignment run. Thursday is Press Day and the Phillips Twins are kept busy that afternoon looking for the reporters who might dare to be late with an article. After the brown paper dummy has been laid out by editor Junior Rushton and most of the work proof- read and placed, ready for the headline writers to begin counting letters and spaces, then it ' s time for someone to suggest that part of the tearoom goodies be trans- ported to the Hyphen Office. Oh, the paper is loads of work, but ever so much fun! If anyone doubts that just pass by the open door of the office Thursday. After a trip of the staff to the printers in the station wagon and another thorough proof- reading, The Ward-Belmont Hyphen is found in the boxes Wednesday after chapel. Pictures, news stories, features, editorials, and columns — it ' s all our paper!
