The most important event of the past week was the organization of the Y. w. c. A. in the Normal school last Monday evening. The following off cers were elected: Annie Akin, presi- dent; May Agnew, vice president; May Hopkins, secretary; Mrs. Saun- ders, treasurer. Together with the chairman of the following committees they form the governing body or cab met: May Agnew, membership com mittee; Mildred Reed, meetings; Jackie Humphrey, social; Florence Brooks, church cooperation; Kathleen Lynn, social service; Blanche Gardner, world fellowship; Myrtle Pexton, pub icity; Marjorie McClain, conference. Thursday evening the installation service took place-a solemn, sweet ceremony opened by a professional to the favorite "Hymn> of Lights" The prayer by Mir. Creager, was followed by a brief talk on the meaning of membership by Miss Fulton. Then the prettiest part of the service took place.

This is in itself symbolical of the aim of the Y. w. c. A., and explains why it's presence in this school may mean so much. Thus the inauguration serv- ice ended. The work of organizing the body was effected by Miss Fulton, of San Francisco, the student secre- tary of the Pacific coast field. To assist the girls, an advisory board of town members has been appointed as follows: Mrs. Creager, Mrs. Pollock, Mrs. Reese, Miss Lenore Francis, Miss Minnie Lintz and Miss Selma Bush.
