YEARS WORK
GREAT SUCCESS
Y. w. C. A. MAKES STRIDES
BEYOND EXPECTATIONS
OF FOUNDERS

With Results! You like them, don't
you?" the Young Women's Christian
association announces its membership
campaign, to begin on December 4th
and to continue through the 10th.
when you contributed your money
toward the new and untried Y. w. G.
A. of Wausau, you hoped it would
bring definite results for good for
Nausau, says the Y w. Bulletin that
is being issued this week
"We feel that it has done so and
we want you who have helped make
these results possible, to know how
far in one year they have reached"
Girl Reserves
Not in boastful way, but by the ex-
position of facts, the Bulletin an
nounces that no less than 250 girls
between II and Is years of age, have
joined in the nine clubs of Girl Re-
serves, with two more clubs already
being formed. "These girls meet once
week with advisers, following pro-
grams which provide mental, physi
cal, social and spiritual training and
make for better girls, better homes
and a better America" the association
Bulletin adds.
For older girls and women there
have been Bible classes, glee clubs,
sewing and millinery classes, home
makers course, art and crafts, talks
on political questions. In seven
months there have been ninety-two
classes with an attendance of 1436.
Special events for the older members
numbered forty-two, with 1858 in at
tendance.
Gym Glasses
For health eighty-two girls en-
ployed in office, factory and store are
registered in gymnasium classes which
meet, until the dream of our own
gymnasium has materialiZed, in the
Grant and high school gymnasiums.
A health week, directed by a field sec
retary from Chicago, directly touched,
in five days, 995 girls and women
through lecture demonstrations and
individual examinations"
These accomplishments have all
been far in excess of what the organ
izers of the association hoped for in
such a short time. Further than this
rooms registry department has listed
rooms available for girls and seventy
five applications for quarters have
DtSu iiduS NY SdicS WOilCH, lSdCuCl .,
students, stenographers, factory hands,
clerks, actresses and chorus girls.
AS a center for travellers, the as
sociations has served eighty in the
capacity of an information bureau,
rest room, a safe waiting place be-
tween trains, money lender to a girl
without funds, and even caretaker of
the sick Seventeen girls have been
assisted in finding jobs.
Successful Camp
A summer camp for two weeks at
Clear lake was attended by ten busi-
ness girls over week ends and twen-
ty-four girls over ten day period.
did you know that the first at
tempt at supervised playground work
in Wausau was made this summer by
the Y. W. G. A. and the Y. M. G. A. ?"
thet Bulletin asks. "The two organi-
zations recruited the trained leaders
and during the eleven mornings when
Fairgrounds were supervised, 2,112
children attended"
Another great membership drive, the
one in December, will be held and be-
cause of the interest shown, the as
suciation concludes it's announcement
of the campaign by saying: you
have already shown thai you believe
in the Y. w. G. A. We want you to
keep on believing in IL; for you and
others like you can guide the asso-
citation into a greater place of SER
vice i'm Wausau's future"
