« AI ma Mater Mythology, and the Wheel of Activities. This year it's the turn of The Awakening of Knowledge. Nominated by a W. W. L. and faculty committee and elected by the women of the col- lege, a junior coed reigns over the festivities in June, and is the personification of Alma Mater for the next year until she crowns the new Queen. Margaret Bri 11 hart was Alma Mater for the 1935 pageant depicted below. Miss Lorraine Albright receives the crown for 1936 in the pageant of June 6. Faculty members Immell, Cadwgan, Bowman, Dunn, Helsel, and MacPherson, work with the Alma Mater Day student chairman in planning the celebration. Assistants to the student chairman are in charge of costumes, decorations, dances, flower children, purchasing, programs, properties, publicity, and ushers.

Y. M. C. A Drawing its membership from the entire male student body, the Y. M. C. A. asks only that a candidate be able to sign his name on a card, one reason why it is the largest men’s group on fhe campus—as well as the oldest. Attesting to the responsi- bility of heading the Association is the fact that two presidents were required this year. The Y. M. C. A. endeavors to extend its work beyond the limits of the campus into the city of Spring- field. Here its activities include the work of the gospel teams, social service committees, and Hi-Y discussion leaders. On the campus the Y. M. C. A. cooperates with other groups in various projects, including weekly chapel programs, the Christmas and Lenten vespers, and editing the Freshman Handbook.
