Y. M. c. A. OPEN HOUSE
Ladies' Nights at Local Y Have Been
Great Success

Last Wednesday closed for the
season the women's and girls nights
at the Y. NJ. c. A. For eighteen sue
cessive Wednesdays the boys had
turned the entire building over to the
girls, who made good use of ii. One
feature of their program was a big
supper each week. The shower baths
were great treat especially since
with mostt of the girls it was their
first experience with that kind of a
bath. The bowling alleys were used
regularly until the warm weather ap-
peared. Pocket billiards did not seem
to be so popular with the girls as
with the boys, but possibly because
they needed more instruction.
The girls work at the 'Y" was und-
er the direction of Miss Delnia Jacob
son, of the Public Welfare Associa-
tion. The graded school girls were
admitted right after school and spent
most Of their time in the gymnasium,
until six, when they were expected to
go home and make way for the older
girls in the evening. Delightful fudge
parties, corn pops and marshmallow
toasts were held around the fireplace
by the older girls. On several occa-
sions the girls we're entertained by
lantern slides exhibited by the "Y"
STAFF
With the girls work the number of
people definitely served during the
season was swelled to approximately
500.
