Rosa Marie Spears, formerly of
Pasadena, California, will welcome
new executive secretary of the
Williams Avenue Branch of the
Portland, Oregon Y. w. c. A., on
Dec. 10. 1889.
Miss Spears was born in Pine
Bluff, Arkansas, and attended the
Arkansas State college where she
received her B. A. degree in social
sciences. In CHICAGO, she was a
Y. w. C. A. student in industry in
1929.
From 1930-34 she was a teacher
in the Training school in Crossett,
Arkansas. From February, 1885
up until the present time she has
been a social worker with the State
Relief Administration in Los An
giles and San Bernardino, Calf.
During one year she was connected
with the San Bernardino Y. w. c.
A. as Girl Reserve advisor.
In 1886 and 1888 she took
courses at the University of South
ern California in Social Case Work
and in Social Legislation.
Reports to the Portland Y. w.
c. A. indicate that Miss Spears
is exceedingly popular with her
co-workers and that she is an ex-
ceptionally attractive girl. Writ
ing of her, Mrs. Homer T. Miller,
general secretary of the San Ber-
nardino Y. w. c. A. says:
miss Spears is very well read
and she will always avail herself
of educational opportunities with
in her reach to improve her tech
niques and knowledge. She is ex-
ceedingly good company, also. One
thing that has impressed me par
ticularly about her work is that
she holds such high standards and
values before her own groups and
never lets them find an excuse
for not measuring up. She is as
well adjusted and poised a person
as I know and what is infinitely
more, she helps others to achieve
poise and objectivity. In discus
sions she brings the quality of per-
feet objectivity."
To welcome Miss Spears to the
Portland Y. w. c. A. and to intro
duce her to the community, num-
Der of affairs are being planned
both by the Central "Y" and the
Williams Avenue branch.

ciety. We live today, tomorrow
and, then-what? A life of in
congruities impossible to fathom.
