YWCA Activities
The 1956-1957 program of the
Young Women’s Christian Associ
ation includes a variety of plans
designed to enrich the lives of its
members and the lives of the cam
pus in general. With the realiza
tion that the best way to enrich
one’s life is through service to
others, the Community Committee
under leadership of Lucille Young
is launching many projects as its
share in the program.
Such projects include collecting
old newspapers for benefit of the
Fuller School for Exceptional
Children, making and filling bas
kets for those of the community
who are always glad to receive
them, and assisting with many
other community projects, the
plans of which are yet in the mak
ing.
The Membership Committee with
Betty Payne and Lucille Leake as
co-chairmen have secured the af
filiation of a representative num
ber of both faculty and student
members. A formal recognition
service for new student members
is being planned for the Autumn
quarter.
Plans are also being laid for the
annual observance of World Stu
dent Christian Federation Day of
Prayer at which time a number
of students from foreign countries
will be expected to share the pro
gram on our campus. Also, this
committee plans to conduct the
World University Fund Drive la
ter in the school year. Delores
Miller and Parthenia Cogdell, co-
chairmen of the committee, will
present to the members programs
which deal with pertinent world
conditions, which in turn will re
sult in appropriate action by the
Association in connection with Na
tional Association policies.
No small part of the YWCA pro
gram is that carried on by the
Worship Committee which i^ head
ed by Norma Jean Johnson. This
committee is working for more ef
fective participation by all of the
members in the all - important
phase of the program — worship.
This committee is enthusiastically
working with all other groups on
the worship program, including as
sistance with the Day of Prayer
observance program.
This year the Association is mak
ing specific attempts to balance
its program through planned rec
reation on Saturday afternoons.
One such activity was witnessed
recently by a large number of both
old and new members, when group
singing and group games were an
enjoyable part of the meeting.
Prizes for best participation were
won by Barbara Burke and Mar
garet Sampson.
This activity is sponsored joint
ly by the Social-service and Pro
gram Committees. Shirley Smith
and Alice Hines are co-chairmen
of the social - service committee,
and Carol Peacock is chairman of
the Program Committee.
