Special Committee Makes
Recommendation To Board
OF Directors
TO HAVE TUES. AND FRI.
EVENINGS OF EACH WK.
Two Classes To Be Formed;
To Start Work Week
OF Oct. I

The directors of the Y. M. G. A., at
n special meeting held on Thursday
evening, decided to allow high school
girls and women the use of the gym
nasium privileges two evenings each
week. From the reading Of the rec
concentrations II can be clearly seen
that the association plans to have ev.
erything under excellent supervision
1t must, however, be clearly under.
stood that the plans, as mapped out
are for one year only, as this year the
gym would not be used by regular
class work on Tuesday and Friday
evenings, due to senior memberships
being somewhat smaller than in pre-
vious years on account OF the war

they can offer the young girls and
women of Mt. Vernon this privilege
for the coming fall and winter.

z, same as those for young men and
boys. Any caring to take advantage
