SUCCESSFUL
EXPECT TO REACH GOAL
OF 1000 THIS
EVENING

The Y. NJ. c. A. drive for 1000 mem
bers ends this evening, and it is an
ticipated that the membership obtain
ed will mean an lover the top" an
nouncement. Since last Thursday,
when the campaign commenced in ear
nest, after a preliminary dinner on
Wednesday evening when assignments
were made, teams of the three divis-
ions, the Red, White and Blue, have
been putting forth every effort to get
new members into the association.
At the dinner held Monday evening,
there was much excitement as to
which team would maintain the lead in
the race and as to which division was
highest. Secretary H. H. Davis de-
clared, in a brief talk, that nothing
pleased him more than the splendid
work the teams were doing. He said
that while he had been slightly dis
appointed Saturday night when only
fifty per cent of the membership de-
sired had been reported, the Monday
night record made it an assured fact
that the association would reach its
goal. The Red Division, which was
captained by Robert Hochtritt, be-
came wildly enthusiastic when it's
total of 235 members was marked on
the large blackboard. The Blue Di-
vision of which Walter Flieth was cap
tain came second with $50 members
and the White Division of which C.
A. Cowee was the leader, stood third
with 159 members.
Offers Inducement
Charles Dodge offered an induce
ment in the way of prize when the
reports had been completed. Il have
in my hand a $1,000 bill that l offer
as a prize to the person bringing in
the largest number of memberships"
he said. This announcement brought
forth a great deal Of applause and
more than one worker announced that
he was after the ten spot
The first dinner of the membership
campaign, on Wednesday night, found
the personnel force hard at work pre-
pairing lists of names and cards. On
Thursday the various captains of
teams, and commanders of the three
divisions, got their men on the Job and
assignment cards were distributed
Workers called on prospects, being
given credit only for new member
ships. Renewals were not counted.
Dinners were also served on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday evenings by
the Women's Auxiliary of the Y. M.
&. A, of which Mrs. Russell Lyon is
president. A vote of thanks was ten
dered the ladies on Monday evening on
the suggestion of J. N. Manson and a
roar Of applause followed.
Students Join
A majority of the students of the
Wausau High school have joined the
Y. M. c. A. this year. Physical train
ing is required and the students are
permitted to take their exercises
either at the Y. M. c. A. or at the high
school,
By Wednesday final figures of the
drive will be posted, although names
continue to come in for some time
after campaign is closed, according
to Mr. Davis. The accurate result Of
the drive will not be known for sever
al weeks.
Gymnasium classes will open next
week and the association activities for
the winter of 1920-21 will be in full
