A. Vermande and Cunningham have passed the physical,
religious and educational tests. Sixteen of the boys passed
the physical test, three the educational test and two the
religious test. Demoss Emmons was the only boy besides

first in efficiency tests for a city of the size of South
Bend. The efficiency tests are being conducted by the Y. M.
C. A. throughout the United States.
The last of the course of talks by Dr. Harry
Helman in "First Aid to the Injured" will be delivered

of entertainemtns for schools given by the association.

school Bible club will be held this evening in the north lobby of
the Y. M. C. A. A. B. Thielens, of the Studebaker
corporation, will speak. Preceding the talk by Mr. Thielens
supper will be served.
That boys attending gymnasium classes may be
handled in a faster and easier manner a new system has been
installed in the boys' department of the Y. M. C. A. The
system consists of an alphabetical arrangement around the
desk. The boys line up according to the initial of their
last name and in this manner considerable time is saved.
