YWCA AT STATE COLLEGE
HAS REAL DYNAMIC PROGRAM
Emerson said that “There is no
better way to bring one to a
knowledge of hiuiself tlian to
lead him to a knowledge of the
powers that are lying dormant
within his soul.” "I'he realization
of a "full and creative life” can
be had only through a growing
knowledge of God and of one’s
self. The Young Women’s Chris
tian Association’s program on the
campus is designed to help the
young women to help themselves
in this growth.
In any organization of any size
it is necessary that duties be di
vided in order that the work may
be carried on more effectively;
hence the importance of commit
tees through which most of tlie
work of the YW('A is done. At
the beginning of the year the cab
inet whicli is composed of offic
ers and committee chairmen, set
up a tentative guide b>’ which to
carry on its campus activities.
However, some of the work was
planned by the cabinet as early
as last spring, especially that
which ])ertained to the program
for orientation of freshmen.. Mem
bers of the ('ommittee on Work
with Freshmen, headed by Pau
line Adams, arrived on the cam
pus early in order to aid the
faculty freshnu'np advisers.
Freshmen Week was highlighted
with a campus tour, a Variety
show with the theme “What the
("ollege expects of the Freslimen,
and “how the “Y” seeks to help.”
On Sunday morning the freshmen
were escorted to church by the
“Y” president, F^laine Clark and
other cabinet members. On Sep
tember 30 this committee sponsor
ed a get-acquainted tea for the
freshmen and faculty, which was
a success because of the large
number of both groups in attend
ance. The freshmen were spon
sored in Talent Xight, at which
time three prizzes were given for
the best ijerformances. lU'cently,
this committee gave to Addie
Williams of Waverly, Virginia
and ;\Iary Campbell of Fayette
ville, their tuition for the spring
((uartera s prizes for having the
highest scholastic records for the
first quarter.
The Membership (^onunittee
conducted a successful member
ship drive which resulted in
230 members, including 20 facul
ty members. This drive closed
on October 21 with a most im
pressive service of recognition in
which nearly all of the members
took ])art.
At the center of the YWCA
program for this years is the idea
of (’diristian Faith which is rea
lized through planned worship.
Jt is the purpose of the Worship
('ommittee to help the members
“realize a full a dncreative life
through a growing knowledge of
(iod.” This Committee, under the
direction of iMarie Watson, has
sponsored two vespers one w'hich
introduced World F'ellowship
Week, Xovember 11-18, at which
Reverend ,1. M. Alexander, white,
of Fayetteville, was the speaker.
On December 9, Dr. Frank S.
Hickman, Dean of the ('hapel,
Duke University was the speak
er. 'I’he Worship (Committee plans
the worship services for each
weekly cabinet meeting, and for
the regular monthly general
meetings.
It is Ihe function of the World
('community Committee to keep
the members informed of all
problems concerning them as
members of a World Movement.
Headed by Ronuiine ('.lark, rep
resentatives of this connnittee at
tended the Strategy ('conference at
Raleigh, the purpose of which
was to discuss plans for the
World Student Service F'und
Drive. At this writing the drive
has not yet materialized, but is
shaping up to a good start.
The time in the general meet
ings of the organization is not
devoted entirely to business and
worship, but other important
))hases are provided for through
the Program (Committee, which
this year is building its program
around the ideas suggested by the
Regional Planning ('.onnnittee of
the X. 1. ('. (]. Mary Alice Hug
gins, ('hairman of the Program
Committee, is also a member of
the planning group for the South
ern Region of the Y'WCA. Among
some of the activities of the com
mittee, such features as ^ly First
.Experience at State Teachers
College, given by members of the
various classes; C.hristmas in Oth
er Lands; and a Rible quizz have
highlighted the program.
The Social-Service Committee
which is headed by Mary 15. W^il-
son and F'rancenia Lee provides
for the social life of the Associa
tion. In October this committee
entertained Miss Irene Harris,
regional secretary of the YWCA,
and Reverend Murray Rranch
whowas on the campus in the in
terest of the Y.M.C.A. Hallow'e’en
party for the students, a pre-
('hristmas party for the faculty
members and a pre-Christmas
party for the “Y” members were
among the social activities for
December. The service end of the
committee has been emphasized
through its acts of service to oth
ers. At Thanksgiving time bas
kets were made, filled with fruits
candy, nuts and carried to the 22
patients at the County Sanitarium.
At ('hrislmas time a ('hristmas
tree with program w'as held for
underprivileged children of the
community. To the Veterans’
(’hristmas Party at the near-by
Veterans hospital, the ('ommittee
sent three gifts.
The Finance (Committee has
the non-glamorous task of raising
money for the activities of all
other committees of the organi-

THE HUMAN SIDE
OF OUR FACULTY.
The National Recreation Socie
ty has offered Mr. John Scott a
fellowship to take a year off to
improve his ijinochle. The lady
teachers are beginning to talk,
Mr. Scott. I hear you will never
make the dean’s list in that game.
We don’t know why we always
feel so much at home wdth ;\Iiss
Eaton. There is something about
her “fussing” that makes us want
more. We wonder what we can
do to make each other mad'?
The little lady whom every
body has to come by, both stu
dents and faculty, if missed for
one hour, somebody will conjure
an illness or accident. There is
rest for the weary, Mrs. Milber-
rie.
