              offered to the men of Hershey and vi-cinity
to join the organization which is
bound to be the greatest agent working
for the good of the people of this com-unity.
At the close of his remarks, the
toastmaster called on M. S. Hershey
who centered his remarks afiout two
main points ; first," that to make our
Young Men 's Christian Association ef-fective
we must open its doors unre-servedly
to every man who earnestly
desires, to better his own condition and
the condition of our community; second,
that the Association must give itself
riot to the uplift of its members alone,
but to the bigger proposition of building
up a community Which will be ideal in
its peace and happiness. ;
In turn Eugene W. Pocock, the new
secretary, John G. Kogel, the new phys-ical
director, C. S. Gee, Dr. M. L. Her-shey,
Frank B. Snavely, and P. N. Kas-son
responded to toasts. Each of the
speakers in turn emphasized a different
way in which the Association can and
should push forward its work. The
spirit of the whole evening was enthu-siastic,
j
The Association Glee Club sang two
selections. Their work was excellent,
such that would be a credit -to any Y.
