1932 Cedrus Yearbook

CEDRUS Young Women's Christian Association In spite of the fact that our number this year is limited, our Y. W. is still a live organization. The attendance at our weekly meetings has been excellent. Our wide-awake Freshmen, who constitute half of our group, attend one hundred per cent practically every time, and they take an active part in the discussions. Our programs, under the direction of our efficient program chairman, have been very interesting and helpful. They include the practical problems that the girl has to face in everyday life. Through our projects we are attempting to learn to develop more fully the three phases of every girl's life—the mental, the moral, and the physical,— and to give to each girl a keener appreciation of the aesthetic. Financially, this year has been very successful, and we have been able to con- tribute our full share toward national expenses. Our outside activities have been numerous and varied. We cooperated with the Y. M. in giving a "get-together" party last fall. We welcomed the Freshmen girls and reconsecrated the former members in a special Thanksgiving Committal Service. This beautiful candle-light service was written by our dear President of 1930, Frances McChesney, who, although he has gone to her reward, lives on •in the memory of those who knew her. We were able to distribute ten baskets at Thanksgiving to needy families of the community. This was made possible by the liberal contributions of our friends and by the help of industrious members of the Y. M. Our "Collegiate Cabaret" in December was very successful financially and otherwise. On Feb. 29 we entertained the Y. M. at a Leap Year party. In March we enjoyed a very helpful talk on "Social Health and Hygiene" by Mrs. Mary Cartwright who is sent out by the national Y. M. C. A. We are looking forward to our annual Mock Wedding, to our Silver Tea, to a spring breakfast, and to the Mother-Daughter banquet. —M.L. W. Forty-nine
