Somehow girls who have together lighted their candles- from the big candle, girls who have together sung "Follow the Gleam" around an open campfire, are bound together by bonds just a little tighter than those of ordinary friendship. The Y. W. C. A. gives vocational guidance to help each girl find her niche in life. It offers opportuni- ties for training in Christian leadership to girls who may use it later in the church, home, community, or mission field. All in all, the Y. W. C. A. seeks to guide a girl in her work and in her play, not as a restraint, but as a means to her fullest development. Our small branch of the Y. W. C. A. at Cedarville College has endeavored to inculcate the above principles into its activities. Perhaps our greatest activity is our regular Wednesday morning meeting, when we hear speakers who broaden our outlook, or when we informally talk over our problems. This year we have considered four big projects: "What Would Jesus Do If He Were a Twentieth Century Girl?" "Making a Liv ing or Making a Life?" 'The Y. W.C. A.in Our Cities." "Twentieth Century Commandments." Another interesting program was brought through our World Fellowship Chairman, when Wilberforce students rendered some delightful literary and musical selections. Either jointly or separately the Y. W. and Y. M. have a social affair every month. Probably the Halloween Party, given this year by the girls, the Pig Roast, and the girls' Mock Wedding would be named as favorites if a vote were taken. We remember the needy every Thanksgiving with well-filled baskets. Three public programs have been given. The Committal Service was made more im- pressive by the pageant,"Pygmalion and Galatea." Our Christmas program,"The Savior of the World," was both beautiful and impressive. The Silver Tea served to bring the Y. W.before the women of the town. The Y.W.C. A. meets a unique need of a college girl. Therefore it is our hope that a Greater Y. W. C. A. may help to promote a Greater Cedarville. —M•D.
