This gathering was one of the most
profitable and enjoyable ones ever
held by the association and great
credit is due the Pittsfield carriers
and their gracious wives for the plea

that in the future these meetings will
be held upon that holiday instead of

Membership in I
LOCAL !. M, GA,
HAS new CLASS

The membership committee of the
Y. M. C. A. has just adopted a new
class of membership. The present
classification includes boys under Is
at SIS per year, students regardless of
age at IS, regular senior privileges ex-
elusive of the physical department for
So. full senior membership at $40 and
business mems clubs at $25 per an
num-
The new membership will be known
as intermediate and will be open to
young men between the ages of Is
and 90 who wish to join an intermedi-
ate club. The fee will be 81 year
for full privileges, the committee feel
ing that since the earning power of
boys between these ages is usually
limited, reduction from the full Sc
nior rate is justified. The primary OBJ
iect of the intermediate membership
is for boys graduating from the EN-
ployed boys department and from the
various boys cluos throughout the
city. These boys cannot be readily
assimilated in the senior department
and many cannot afford the SO rate.
BY grouping the boys in intermedl-
ate clubs of 10 or IL members each
under an adult leader with Bible
study, athletic teams, social features,
etc, a fine wholesome club life can
be developed which will hold and
benefit the boys. They will then grow
naturally into the senior department
by the time they have passed the age
Of 20. r.. T.. -. *.:.: -.
The intermediate, department clubs
will be organized during the month
of September in time for ali the big
fall activities in the Y. M. c. A. Lloyd
R. Killam will be the secretary relat-
ed to this new department with the
cooperation of Arthur E. Larimer,
secretary of the mems department.
