- v v' ' ' 1 review By MILDRED LUCILLE GLOVER Associate Executive Director During the past week the writ er of this column has had an in teresting time making . a spot check of participants in YW classes during the past year. This sketchy survey has revealed that the yWCA members who have joined classes have experienced tangible as well as intangible gains. To the question, "What have the YWCA classes meant to you?" members have replied, "have en joyed the experience of learning with a group" (oil painting, music appreciation, creative writing, ex ercising); "common interests drew people together while learning"; "the constructive suggestions of other members of the class gave one more confidence, and ' also helped knit the group together." Class members were impressed with the content of the courses and with the quality of , instruction. "Professional intruction helped me to express myself, and increased my appreciation for all art na ture, old masters, trips to galler ies, etc." stated a member of the oil painting classes. Classes Re-creatlve Members said that classes truly were re-creative in that the mem ber not only developed or im proved a skill for leisure hours, but also felt rested and refreshed because of the fun of learning. "Release from tension" (paint ing); "therapy" (painting); "feel better," "more limber" (slymnas tics) ; "awareness of other arts than dance" (modern dance); "self expression" (painting); "gained confidence" (club clinic); "soci ability," "joy of learning hobbies and doing crafts in later years" (millinery, frosting fantasy); "re gularity of work was good dis cipline" (creative writing) and thus the replies continued. And what else do YWCA courses mean to those who participate in PEO Chapter Elects WOODBURN Heading Chap ter J, PEO Sisterhood for the coming year is Mrs. Frank Doerf ler, who was elected president to succeed Mrs. Kenneth Thomp son when the group met at the home of Mrs. J.
