YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN

ASSOCIATION

OUR ASSOCIATION

The Association of the East Caro-

lina Teachers College was organized,

the opening year of the school's his-

tory, 1909. Since its organization,

this association has done effective work in promoting high ideals among the students. Regular devotional meetings are held and several different courses in Bible and Mission Study are given.

Each year delegates from oui School are sent to the Southern Students' Conference, formerly at Ashe - ville, now at Blue Ridge. There methods are decided upon for the prosecution of the ensuing year's work.

ASSOCIATION MOTTO

"Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit saith the Lord of Hosts."

NATIONAL OBJECTIVE

"We determine to live unreservedly

Jesus' Law of Love in every relation-

ship, and so to know God."

CHURCHES

Each girl has the privilege of attending her own church. Pastors of all the churches extend a hearty welcome.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD

JOIN 'THE YOUNG WOMEN'S

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIA-

TION

1. It stands for "Practical Christian-

ity," rendering assistance in every

way possible.

2. It will strengthen and deepen your own spiritual life, and will afford you good training in Christian work.

3. If you think you have no time to be a member, it is a very strong reason why you should join. You are in peril if you persuade yourself to believe there is no time to do something for Him.

4. Again, one is brought into closer touch with the whole work of the as-. . sociation. A girl's outlook is broad-

ened by coming in contact with her fellow students, as all work together for the good of the whole.

HOW YOU CAN HELP OUR Y. W. C. A.

1. Go to all Y. W. C. A. services 1

both Friday and Sunday evening.

2. Take your friends with you.

3. Join the Y. W. C. A. and give it your loyal support.

4. Attend all business meetings and I take part in them. Offer any suggestion that you think will help.

BLUE RIDGE

The greatest outstanding feature o] the year's work in the Y. W. C. A. the joy and privilege of attending the Southern Conference of this association held each year in the early day, of June, at Blue Ridge, near Asheville

Here are gathered all the, delegate, from the Southern Colleges, and it especially essential that all new cabinet members be present, for it is here that the coming year's work is outlined, problems on every campus are discussed, and in all we receive the strength to make our Y. W. effective on our own campus.

Aside from this value, however, there are others gained at Blue Ridge. It is jjust in the heart of the Blue Ridge mountains in our state, and the ten days' stay is worth much in acquainting one with the beauties and, scenery of our Old North State.

But probably the greatest value of all is the spiritual good we receive. The very fact that the Conference is held mid such surroundings, lends to

a deeper appreciation of the higher things of life, and a quickening of

those sources of love and fellowship. .

It is an inspiration never to be for-

gotten to find God on these "mountain

top" experiences and surely this is

the real end and aim of all the motives

which uphold the Y. W. C. A.

"LINE UP FOR THE GAMES"

For the wholesome frolic and fun as well as real sport the Athletic Association stands. The fee for membership is only 50 cents, while the privileges are numerous. In joining the Association each girl is entitled to use the tennis courts, basket ball courts, volley ball court, and to try out for her class basket ball, volley ball and tennis teams, and also to join the walking clubs "gym" classes of her class.

The inter-class basket ball tournament days are written in red letters on our winter term calendar. These battles are about as hard fought as those with math and history. The

reward is great. The beautiful silver trophy cup awarded the winner is highly prized by the class holding it. This is a field in which any class may excel, and one may be sure she will have a chance to make the team.

For the other organized athletics there is a general athletic cup awarded to the class scoring the highest number of points in the tennis and volley

ball tournament, in walking and in "gym".

The various courts are filled with girls at all seasons and hours. The tournaments are held between the winners of the class try-out games during the winter and spring terms. The cross-country walking club is one of the popular features in athletics. "Gym" classes have been organized among the students of the College. These various forms of athletics have, encouraged the students to take sufficient exercise to insure good health.

The first great feature in athletics of the school year is the struggle between the Seniors and Juniors on the basket ball court Thanksgiving Day.

This game arouses a keen spirit of

competition in athletics among the classes.

Poem:

We are the class of twenty-six, The best, we think, of all, Who ever dared to penetrate The depths of a college wall.

The standards we have lived up to Have proved the very best

Although to gain the knowledge here Has doubtless been a test.

The ideals of our class have been To reach the highest goal, To go upward and ever onward As each enlightened the soul.

May our services be unselfish

As our duty we try to do

And although we become discouraged

We will stick till the job is through

As we bid farewell to our college We will give to her a cheer We love thee, Teachers College, May you grow greater each year.

COLLEGE SONG

(Tune, "Sailing.")

Oh, school of ours to you we're true For you we'll cheer, for, you we'll do

And dare and fight and praise your

worth,

Throughout our state and land and

earth.

Where ere we roam on land or sea -or

sky,

We'll take your colors ever flying

high.

Then here's to our College, school

that leads the rest,

Teachers' College, Alma Mater leads

the rest.

Teachers' College, glorious be your

name.

Your standard high, your spirit great,

Your noble cause proclaim.

Teachers' College, endless be your

fame,

Your noble worth through all the

earth,

Your daughters, we'll proclaim.

Oh, college great, so staunch and true, For you the future's rosy hue

Is kindled by your fires of light And lighted by your power and might,

And when in time your sun of life shall set,

Your faith and works a golden crown beget,

Then here's to our colors, the Purple and the Gold,

May they truth and right and liberty enfold,

FOLLOW THE GLEAM

To the knights in the days of old Keeping watch on the mountain heights

Came a vision of Holy Grail

And a voice through the waiting night.

Follow, follow, follow the gleam, Banners unfurled o'er all the world, Follow, follow the gleam,

Of the chalice that is the Grail.

And we who would serve the King,

And loyally Him obey,

In the consecrate silence know,

That the challenge still holds today.

Follow, follow the gleam,

Standards of worth o'er all the earth,

Follow, follow, follow the gleam,

Of the light that shall bring the

dawn.
