The installation of the members of the 1925 cabinet took place at the regular meeting of the Y.W.C.A. Sunday evening. This service was even more impressive than usual, inspiring those who saw it with a sense of deepest reverence.
The new officers, wearing pure white and those retiring, dressed in black, marched down the aisle two by two, each couple composed of one old and one new officer. Each girl carried a candle, only those of the old officers being lighted. They arranged themselves on the stage, the members of the old cabinet on the right and those of the new on the left, and the service was continued with prayer by Pauline Patton, President of the 1924 Y.W.C.A. Appropriate Bible readings were given by various members of both cabinets. Then the old officers passed their lights on to the new, each saying as he lit a candle, and extinguished her own, “As I have received this light, so give I it unto you.” After a closing prayer they went out quietly, two by two.
