WHAT Y. W. c. A. GIRLS
ARE DOING THIS week
n Everyone Catching the Spirit of the
Pageant Work. Six Girls to
Attend Conference

A wonderful impetus was given
to the forthcoming Y. W. G. A. Pa
geant on last Thursday afternoon
when large class meeting was held
at the Methodist church to discuss
this and other features of the Y. w.
c. A. work.
The meeting was ably presided
over by Mrs. S. D. Rambo. DR.. l. S.
White conducted the scripture read
ing.
A very inspirational talk was made
by Mrs. Horace Field, who told at
length of the fine war work program
carried out by the Y. W. c. A. at
Charleston, S. c. Mrs. Field heartily
endorsed the proposed Pageant,
stressing both its artistic value to
the community and it's great posi-
bilities for bringing together the
girls of Cobb county.
Interesting talks outlining the
scope and purpose of the plan were
made by Miss Sue Ann Wilson and
Miss Julia Hogan. The formal ex-
ercises Of the meeting were followed
by a social hour when the Marietta
people who were present were given
the privilege Of becoming more thor
oughly acquainted with the spirit of
the movement and of it's efficient pro-
motors.
Misses Wilson and Hogan attend
ed the monthly meeting Of the Mis-
sionary Society at the various
churches on Monday afternoon and
addressed the women of each organ
ization, urging their support for the
Pageant and for all the Y. w. C. A.
work. They were in every instance
enthusiastically received and given
many pledges for personal service by
the members.
Miss Sue Ann Wilson spoke before
the Cobb County Singing Conven-
ton on July 4th, bringing the Y. W.
c. A. message of loving service, tell
ing them of what the organization is
offering to the people of this section
and bespeaking their cooperation
and loyal support not only for the
Pageant but for all phases of the
work. She met with hearty encour-
agement and the pledge of the sing
ers to assist with the choruses and
other musical features of the Pa
geant.
No endorsement of the Pageant has
so far added more reliable promise of
success than that of the Business
Girls Club. This splendid organi-
zation which has done such fine work
for the past year has entered hearth
ly into the spirit of the plan and
the members have aligned themselves
both as an organization and as in
dividuals for the Y. W. C. A. cru
SADIE in Cobb county.
Mrs. Hewitt, who has been the
staunch supporter and adviser of
this club speaks enthusiastically of
what the Y. W. C. A. offers to the
young womanhood of the community
and her unqualified endorsement and
untiring energy will contribute large
ly to the success of the Pageant.
These girls have caught the vision
of Service to Fellow Men and realize
that through training more efficient
work may be done. In order to en-
ter this field of labor fully equipped
to meet its every exigency they have
arranged to send with their own
funds six girls to the Blue Ridge
Conference.
This is standardized club and has
a staff of efficient, untiring officers
who will spare no efforts to accom-
plish their ideals and their support
will mean a great deal locally to the
Y. w. C. A.
Miss Harriet Robson, who has
done such wonderful work during
the past year in the Home Service
Division of the Red Cross, sees in the
great Pageant "The Vision of the
Blue Crusaders" the possibility for
making true her own wide vision for
her people. Her splendid service has
brought her in touch with them and
given her an intimate knowledge of
their social and physical needs. She
is immensely pleased over the posi-
bilities of the Pageant for bringing
into more intimate touch the girls
of the various districts of this coun-
ty and will devote much of her time
and energy to the ultimate success
full termination of the project.
