TO LKH DRIVE
Goals of 150 new and 150 con
tinued memberships In the junior
division of the Y. M. C. A. were
set by C 2 boys at the first promo
tion banquet of the present boys
campaign for enrollment, Monday
night Displaying high spirit, the
boys determined that they would
this week show the senior division
how successful a campaign Bhould
be.
After a dinner served by the
T chef, the -boys listened to talks
by the general secretary, and by
Dwlght Adams and Fred Smith.
By way of inspiration, the general
secretary suggested to the boys
the idea of setting the example
with' their campaign for the gen
eral enrollment drive which will
probably be started on October 9.
He also said, in part, "T leaders
want to help you boys but you
should build your own Y division,
because It belongs to you. It is
your Y. M. C. A. as much as it is
the men's."
Further awards in this "endur
ance contest," which was detailed
in Sunday's Statesman, were of
fered at the banquet by Dr.
Frank Brown. To the first boy to
enroll 10 members, he will give a
belt with a silver Y buckle; and
to every boy thereafter who brings"
in 15 members, the same award.
As a booster feature and part
of the social program of the asso
ciation, a "prep and cadet" rally
and banquet will be held Thurs
day at 6:15 p. m.. Lynn Heise will
be toastmaster and "Bob" Board
man will talk about the Y and
what it means to boys. Games
and swimming will follow the
program.
