FIRST CABINET MEETING OF NEW MEMBERS HELD
The Y. W. C. A. Cabinet for the coming year was installed Wednesday at 6:45 p. m. at a very impressive service held in the large auditorium. At a given chord singing issued from back of the auditorium. An impressive hush fell over the assembled student body as the old and new officers marched slowly into the candle-lit auditorium to the song "Father of Light". In the hands of the old officers were candles burning brightly; in the hands of the new were ones yet to be lighted. They took their places on the stage and devotional services were led by Margaret Faris after which the new officers were installed. The following girls received their lights from the girl whose office they were to hold: President A. J. Scott Vice-President Jane Witt Secretary Hazel Halloway Treasurer Frances Crawford Conf.Conventions ....

Woodhouse The words of Adele Hutchinson as she lighted the candle of her successor were simple and direct in their forcefulness. "Grace Virginia, actions speak louder than words." Softly singing 'Follow the Gleam", they marched off the stage and out of the auditorium—the old and new, together.
