SUCCESS
OF Local Y. M. c. A. In
Month Of December
Greatest In History Of The
Institution
As ShOHn By The Report Of
The Secretary

The trustees of the Y. M. G. A. were
much pleased with Secretary Kinney's
report for the month of December,
submitted Monday night at the regu-
lar meeting of the board. The work
in the various departments has in
creased steadily during the past year.
The month of December was not only
the most active for the year, but like
wise the largest in the history of the
Institution. The comparative figures
in the Physical Department for the
month of December for each of the
past four years clearly indicate the
pronounced activity. These figures
are as follows:
1870 1911 1912 1913
Registration in
Physical
Dept 1850 1860 2OSO 2446
On Gym Floor 1920 1491 1920 2146
In gym classes S5S 1889 1882 144S
A corresponding increase has been
shown in the use of the Boys De
partment, bowling alleys, bathing
privileges, and the social and reading
rooms. The present membership of
Ais is exceptionally large, and the re-
suit of healthy growth. The spirit of
friendly cooperation existing between
the members and management is very
gratifying to all concerned. The Noon
Day Lunch club, consisting of twenty
five or thirty boys from the country
attending high school, continues in
regular attendance, and appreciates
the special gymnasium class conduc-
ted for its members. The boys of the
Junior and Cadet Department are en-
thusiastic in collecting waste paper,
the proceeds from which will be used
for the purchase of new game room
equipment for their Department.
The fact that the institution is rem
dering a greater service than ever be-
fore to the boys and men of this COM
munity does not mean that work is
self-sustaining. The annual total ex-
penditure is about $4,000. or this
amount only about $4,000 can be
counted upon from memberships, dor
mintories and all other sources of in
cme. This leaves fully $1,000 to be
raised by contributions from friends
of the institution. This means that it
is in a very real sense public and
philanthropic enterprise. The board
of trustees cordially invite all those
who are interested to inspect the
building and the work generally, be-
lieving that close acquaintance with it
invariably results in fuller apprecia-
ton of the extent and quality of the
service rendered.
