BURR AND BURTON NOTES

Ten dollars was realized from our
last Seminary social for the behalf OF
the War Campaign; thanks to those
students who so kindly furnished the
music, thereby lessening the expendi-
lures for the evening.
The spirit shown by our girls in OBJ
servation Of World Prayer Week was
indeed fine. At the prayer circles held
by the Y. w. c. A. each day at l2:45,
the largest attendance was 45; the
smallest 20. We we're indeed FORUM
ate to have Miss Jane Perkins, whom
we always gladly welcome at Burr and
Burton. for our leader at the Saturday
meeting. The other, meetings were
conducted by the students of the asso-
citation.
The Y. w. c. A. enjoyed at its last
meeting a talk given by Mrs, Waiter
Hard. relative to the United War
Work Campaign of the week. One OF
the fine thoughts Mrs. Hard gave us
was, "This is the testing time for
America. How are we going to meet
il? Is America so valiant in the thick
of the fray, going to fail in this moral
crisis. now that the excitement of the
fighting has subsidized ?"
Thursday was our special rally
day" at Burr and Burton. Exercises
were opened with prayer by Rev. }. 5.
Brown. W. r. Hard, town solicitor,
gave us a brief but right to the point
talk, bringing out the one special
thought for boys and girls not to put
down their names with the c. Q. d.
(call on dad idea but to actually earn
or save the money they subscribe.
State Secretary, b. N. Clark, then
gave an interesting address concern
ing work done among the men by
these different societies that the whole
country at this time are raising funds
to support. The association deserves
much praise for the clever decoration
of chapel with flags, bunting and ar
tistic posters. Approximately $4,000
was raised.
