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!

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 At the close of every year the girls begin to note the pleasant and memorable inci- dents that mark their year In school. The purpose of the MILESTONES is to preserve the history of Ward-Belmont for the school year 1938-39 In the annals of literature. This year the staff gives the student body a snappy modern book, full of club, sport, and scholastic activities, plus many snapshots of the playtime and fun here. Putting together the record of the year isn ' t all play, but the kind of work which makes every- one roll up her sleeves and pitch into the stacks of pictures to be identified, copy to be written, layouts to be planned, and dummy to be carefully constructed. Even the dignified editor, Marlon Dredia, has all but lost her mind. Every girl on the campus helps to make up this book, and since there are many different personalities here, the annual could hardly miss being different, vivid, and interesting to everyone. It Is your own book, because you helped create a part of the school year which Is recorded. Staff Editor. Marion Dredia Associate Editor . . .
