 The industrial secretary has tried to do her part in helping with all of the various social events planned by the social committee and the physical de- partment so that there is no hard and fast line separating her work from the general work of the association. After all girls are much the same, what ever fate has deereed to be their oc- cupation, and the less we emphasize dividing lines except those of age, the better. The industrial secretary feels that one of her chief duties is to acquaint the girl in industry and office with our regular classes and ac- tivities and that this is just as impor- tant as organizing special work for them alone,
 Respectfully submitted.
