1940 Cedrus Yearbook

The Y.W.C.A. opened the school year with a "Big and Little Sister" Tea at the home of Doris Ramsey during the first week of school. Following the usual custom, the girls drew names for "Secret Pals" and exchanged gifts during the six weeks before Christmas. During this time the girls were all wondering who their secret pals might be. This mystery was ended at the annual Christmas party at the home of Mrs. C. W.Steele. In November the Annual Committal Service, in memory of Frances McChesney, was held at the Presbyterian Church. At this service the new members and the cabinet took their pledge of loyalty to the Y.W. One Friday morning during March the girls tried to give the "Mock Wedding" during the Chapel period. Before it was all over the bride (Grace Bickett) was taken for a ride. This year we sponsored a Spring Tea. It was held on April 12, in the gym. "April Showers" Tea would probably have been a better name for it since it rained most of the day. As a climax of our activities of the year the girls and their mothers enjoyed a social time togetheart the Annual Mother and Daughter Banquet, which was held on Friday evening, May 10th. The Y.W.C.A. has prospered well this year in having one hundred per cent membership. There have been very interesting meetings during the year, many of which were jointly with the Y.M.C.A.
