First, andvery important, is the fact that the Cedarville College Y.W.C.A. be- came affiliated with the NationalStudent Y. W.C.A.Through this the members have re- ceived such privileges as corresponding with foreign students, taking part in state and nationwide conferences, receiving a great variety of religious literature, and contributing to the World's Student Christ- ian Federation. In October,the Y. W.sponsored a candy sale in the administration building. Home- made candy wasbroughtfor sale by each of the girls and was purchased by thefaculty and student body. On November 4the group sponsored a Tag Day. Each individual donated some time during the day for sell- ing the tags in the down-towndistrict. They felt sure that their time had not been wasted when a total income of $45.50 was reported. The annual CommittalService was pre- sented on November 9 in the Methodist Church with Miss Marie Fisher serving as president and leader of the devotional pro- gram. Rings and pins were purchased by some ofthe members. The triangular shaped pins were of sterling silver with a fire-blue bar reading "Y. W. C. A." across the top.
