    Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Y. M. C. A. Elects Officers for 1915-16.
The election of officers for the en
suing year was held on last Sunday
from 1 p. m. until 9:30 p. m. There
was considerable interest manifested
in the election, though a rather light
vote was polled. G. C. Moffett receiv
ed the highest number of votes and
was elected president. T. F. Keasler
received the next highest number,
which gave him the vice-president
ship. R. A. Hall became next year’s
secretary, and T. K. Morris is the
treasurer.
The association is exceptionally for
tunate in the selection of these able
men to guide it through the next year.
Mr. Moffett is one of the “whitest”
men on the campus, and the other of
ficers are men who can and will take
hold of things. With thefee officers
and our new “Y” building, there is no
reason why we should not have a
larger and better Y. M. C. A. next
year than ever in the past.
Interest Shown in Y. M. C. A. Games.
The members of the Y. M. C. A. and
the students generally are taking a
new interest in the games which are
now in the lobby of the “Y” building.
Many of the cadets have learned to
pass away an otherwise dull hour or
two, playing at chess or checkers. The
devotees of “forty-two” can also go
over and indulge in their favorite
game, tables being provided for this
purpose. Already so many promising
checker and chess players are show
ing themselves that Mr. Steger plans,
as soon as they become expert enough,
to hold a tournament for the college
championship in these games.
James A. Whitmore Bible Class.
In recognition of the great work
done by Mr. James A. Whitmore in
the recent Y. M. C. A. convention
here, Mr. Ike Ashburn has called his
recently organized class the James A.
Whitmore Bible Class. The class
consists of about thirty members, who
were converted during the convention,
and were not at that time members
of the Sunday school or of a dormi
tory Bible class. Mr. Ashburn has
taken a great interest in his class,
and is doing some wonderful work.
Other such classes as these would be
beneficial to the school and should be
encouraged and aided in every way
possible.
Deputation Work for Senior
Y. M. C. A. Men.
In the near future it is planned that
Senior members of the Y. M. C. A.
Cabinet and student members of the
various departments will take up depu,
tation work. They will begin their
work first in towns and communities
within a short distance of the college.
These meetings are planned to reach
the farmers residing around these
towns and will consist of talks by stu
dents and other speakers on various
subjects and especially on the many
phases of agriculture, on rural hygiene
and sanitation, and on social life in
rural communities.
The work will be doubly beneficial,
helping the farmers and also being
of value to the students who take part
in it. Something of this order has
been needed for a long time, as it will
give the students an opportunity to
exchange some of their theory for the
practical experience of the farmers.
All details of the plan have not yet
been perfected, but as soon as it is
possible they will be, and then the
work will begin.
