1926 Cedrus Yearbook

fYCEDRUS-1926 Y. W. C. A. OFFICERS Mae McKay Mary Webster Martha Dean Vice President Secretary Program Committee June Thompson Elizabeth Barnett President Social Committee Last spring seven of the Y. W.C. A. girls attended the annual Y. W.C. A. Con- ference which was held at Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, Ohio. They returned brimming with plans and ideas. This year's work has been the result of their hearty co-operation. The Y. W. C. A. has endeavored throughout the year to instil in the minds of the girls what the association stands for, and the work that it has to accomplish not only as a local organization, but as a world-wide institution. The programs of the year under the guidance of our hard-working Program Chairman have held this end in view. Toward the first of the year a series of meetings were con- ducted, with the "Charm School" as the subject. General discussion took place and all the girls felt that they could not afford to miss any of the meetings. At the beginning of the Second Semester the weekly meetings were given over to the study of a book entitled "Student Relief in Europe," and as a result the girls were given an insight into the conditions of European students. The outcome of this study was the Y. W. pledge of a certain sum to the Student Friendship Fund. There would have been a decided lag in the College spirit many times during the year if it had not been for the untiring efforts of Y. W. Social Committee. A tea given the afternoon College was opened helped the girls to know each other by name as well as face. Before cold weather came a unique idea was carried out in the form of a treasure hunt. Another social function was the "Kid Party," when all the girls changed their costumes and actions for a short time. This association has tried to keep uppermost in its mind and to obey the Y.W. C. A. Motto: "We unite in the determination to live unreservedly Jesus'law of love in every relationship, and so to know God." —J. T. Page Sixty-eight
