mountain work; and S3S3 for insur-
ance on Y. M. c. A. furniture, and
the last of our very precious Bank
account,SI2 40. chec, ed out to the
association. These objects, with little
expenses from time to time, have
about consumed our funds, and we
find ourselves at the end of our first
years work with five cents cash on
hand. Though our finances are low
We are in better shape than year ago
and surely the past has proven that
whether much or little money has
been in demand, by some ''hook or
crook we have gotten it; and 1t goes
without saying that in the hands Of our
energetic social committee, the
"hook has been most successfully
welded.
With SO encouraging past surely
we need not fear but that we can
safely steer our way another year.
Very Respectfully, submitted.

ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE.
One year ago last June | was noti-
fed by the President Of the Auxiliary,
then Miss Caldwell, of my appoint
ment as chairman of the committee on
entertainments with authority given
me to select the members Of the COM
mittee to work with me. With much
hesitency the position was accepted as
| knew nothing of the work and
doubted my ability to carry it through
in an acceptable manner to the Auxll-
iary.
Through June and July the matter
remained at stand still, and in the
mean time | had the opportunity Of
gaming information upon which oul
subsequent work was carried on, from
a friend who had, had much expert
ence in Auxiliary work, having fol
years been one Of an entertainment
committee, either as chairman or q
member. Some time later we re.
elected a most efficient and faithful
committee as co-laborers in this work
namely. Mrs. Burger from the Pres

the NJ. f. Church, Miss Johnnie
Gates from the M. E. Church, South,
Mrs. Engel from the Baptist, and
Mrs. Huddleston from the Friends,
All arrangements being made we
commenced our work We gave our
first reception at the Y. M. c. A.
Hall upon the evening of August the
10th %, that being the End Thursday
in the month, the evening Of that day
being set apart for our usual enter
ments, The reception was largely
attended and the company were en-
tertained by music, recitations anc
games, interspersed with converse
ton. Cake and lemonade were
served during the eve. All passeC
off well.
Before our next reception Miss
Caldwell resigned the Presidency
owing to her duties at the College
and Mrs. Burger was elected to tha
position, this change necessitated an
other member of the committee ol
entertainments, from the Presbyterian
church, Mrs. Burger as Presiden
being now Ineligible. Mrs. Melee
was appointed in her stead, thougl
Mrs. Burger as President, kindly con
sented to meet with the committe
and was at all times as one with then
in their work.
The Second reception was give

rendered to the young men and thei
friends by Miss Mccormick. Sh
furnished ice cream and cake for tn
occasion. The evening was pleas
antly spent and numerous stranger
were present.
The reception for Oct, was oml
