Good Progress by
This Organization
A Months Work at
the Y. w. C.. A.

port OF the 7. w. G. A. i'll High Point
for April are the following, showing
that the Association has IL very diver
sifled program and is trying to do a
comprehensive work with the girls.
AN Athletic Association was organ
lied after an evenings recreation by
| girls who had been attending the
gymnasium class. A president and
secretary were elected and IS mem
hers were enrolled The aim of the
Association is to promote outdoor ac-
tivities, such as basketball teams,
tennis, outings, volley ball and hikes.
They meet at the Hut once a week.
! The Rainbow Club, which consists
of girls in industry, is trying to make
money to send delegates to the Indus
trial Conference at BreYard, N. c.;
from June 18 to 28. The girls are
very much interested in the confer
elnce and had planned a box supper
for Thursday night, May 18th, but
had to postpone it because one of the
officers of the club was sick. It is
to be held this Thursday, however,
and large attendance is expected.
All members of the Girl Reserves
clubs are busy with plans to make
money to send girls to the Girls
Work Conference at Sweetbriar, Va.
Each club sold drinks, ice-crea1n and
sandwiches at the booth on the Chau-
tauqua ground during the week of
Chautauqua, and raised a respectable
sum of somewhere around 500 for
that purpose.
Members of the High School clubs
are selling tickets for a movie for
their conference. Ten per cent of all
receipts are to go into the treasury
of the club if 500 tickets are sold.
Meetings were held at noon at the
Stehli Silk Mills and the Piedmont
Mills during the week of the Chris
tian Life campaign. Mrs. Barr gave
some interesting talks to both men
and women which we're much appre-
ciated.
The calls for rooms are increasing.
Men as we'll as many women turn to
the Y. w. G. A. for assistance in find
ing anything from a nights lodging
to light housekeeping rooms. Girls
seeking employment look to the Y. w.
c. A. secretary to help. them find pos,
s1tions, and as many as seven have
been located in the past month.
1t is a pleasure to have the young
girls from the Durham Hosiery mill
use the Y. w. C. A. rooms during the
hours they are off duty They enjoy
the piano and victrola, and have dipp-
ed into the books. Miss Owen hopes
they will continue to come, and bring
many friends.
The Y hut has many duties in ad-i
dition to taking care of the girls and
young women of High Point. Many
other organizations have made use Of
it's hospitality, and found it's kitchen
arrangements, it's china, and it's
cheerful club room boon in a town
where there is absolutely no other
place for women to meet. Men have
not disdained it either. Among tohse
who have had meetings at the Hut
during the past month are the Wo-
mans Club, the Rotary Club, the Y.
p. B. of the w. c. T. u, the Build
Main Methodist church, and the !
Christian Endeavor of the Presbyte-
rian church, and there have been
many social gatherings, including a
senior reception.
Miss Van Horn, representing the
Industrial Department of the Nation
al Board, and Miss Louise Lennard,
Industrial Secretary for the South
Atlantic Field, were in High Point
during the first week of April and
while here they met with several Of
the girls employed in industrial es-
tablishments and made plans for al
Business Woman's Council which will
include representatives from all of
the Y. w. C. A clubs. They visited
several of the factories and were
very much interested in learning the
number of girls that are employed
in industry in High Point.
Girls from the Blue-Bird Band, the
Elm Street club and South Main
Street clubs have been hiking during
the month, with consequent improve
ment in their compilations and out
look.
The new piano is proving very
popular and the entire Y. w. C.. A.
membership is very grateful to the
club for placing it in the Club room.
The senir girls who act as advisers
of the clubs are doing excellently,
rendering invaluable assistance with
the work with younger girls, and are
becoming real leaders of the Y. w. C.
A. in this city.
A good many women from Arch
dale, Deep River and from across
town frequently use the Hut for a.
rest room, and to meet their friends,
and are more than welcome.
A millinery class has been organ
lied among the girls from the Sterfi
Silk Mill by a request from the men,
bers Of their club.
Since placing the sign of the Y. w.
C.. A. in the station many people have
come to the Hut wanting information
and aid in almost every conceivable
way. It is felt that it is becoming
better and better known as an organ
izatiop for service in High Point, and
service that can be stretched to al
most limitless lengths. The Y. w.
C. A. is truly, as its posters stae,
Gin service for the girls of the world."'
This report of months activities
should convince the people of High
