The entire floor spare was in use in order to take care of the two hundred ami sixteen guests who took part in the celebration.

Miss Albertine Johnson read a paper on "The Gleam." It explained how the Girl Reserve department was the "gleam ol the “Y” and how "myself, knowledge, spirit, health and service" were rays of light from the "gleam.” Miss Cleon Maeklin explained "myself”; Miss Melva McCaw explained "knowledge”; Miss Helen Williams explained "spirit"; Miss Mae Gustin explained "health"; Miss Maud Singleton explained ‘“service”. The girls dub sang their club songs at different intervals during the program. Those catchy little songs kept a constant stream of laughter flowing through the room. "Sociability”, the last song was in deed u surprise. The words of this song embody a wonderful lesson for anyone. Mrs. Belle Riley, the chairman of the Girl Reserve department, thanked those who assisted. She also introduced the chef, Mrs. Bragg, and thanked those who assisted in the kitchen. "The Gl earn”, the closing song made an effective scene. Each girl guest took the small candle at her place and lighted it from the large central cundlr as she sang.
