WORK WELL DONE
A Few Items In Regard To The Work
OF The Ladies Auxiliary To The
Y. M. C. A. OF Maryville.

The forming of Woman's Auxlll'
ary was owing to the desire of the
ladies of Maryville to do all in their
power for the welfare of the young
men of the community and IS best ex-
pressed by the Preamble of our cons
titution which reads thus: "The ladies'
of Maryville actuated by IA desire to
assist the young men of the Y, M. I.
A. in their christian and social work.
and feeling that organized effort IS
essential to success, doiorm ourselves
into an association. Article first

to promote the moral, social and re-
ligious welfare of young men.

the welfare of the young men at heart
and desiring to aid in this work may
become a member of this Auxiliary =
This society was formed IN the
early Spring of 90 with a President,
Vice Pres, Secretary & Treasurer as
officers and at that time could claim
some sixty members. Miss Emma
Newly was the first Pres. of the Aux
iliary and it was with much regret
that her resignation was received.
Miss Mollie Caldwell was elected IN
her place and filled it most ably until
her school duties called her away IN
the fall. And then Mrs. Burger was
unanimously elected and made a
faithful pains-taking and hard wor-
king officer with always the object OF
the Auxiliary at her heart, up to with
in two months since at which time
Miss Sara Elizabeth Griffen was cleo
ted and now fills that Office.
During the past year the Ladies
Aux. have held twelve regular meet
ings and i've call meetings.
During the first of the year OF 90 a
committee of Ladies was appointed to
attend to the carpeting OF the rooms
and also to putting up notices OF the
Y. NJ. c. A. rooms in the hotels ana
Depot, thus calling the attention OF
Strangers to these rooms.
A committee was also appointed tor
the announcements OF the meetings OF
the Auxiliary in the different churches.
As the Society was organized tor
the benefit of the Y. M. {. A. at
every meeting there was more or less
discussion as to the ways and means
of helping that body. And upon

deemed advisable to put a Piano II

from the meetings that the young
men and boys derive benefit, but tht

The Auxiliary is convinced that th'
benefits of a place like this In which
to spend idle moments are invaluable
to mind and morals.
The financial workings OF the Aux
can best be judged by the Treasurer
