President’s Annual Report. * “The work of the year was summar- ized in the report presented by Presi- dent James L. Case. It was as fol- my pleasure tonight to call your attention to some of the important features of the work of the association during the past year. Because of ex- isting world conditions, new oppor- tunities ‘for service have been offered to our association, and it° is most gratifving to be able to report a larger and better work in almost every de- partment of our activities than ever before. It has been our privilege to render service to our soldier boys in our own building, our state camps. our national cantonments and to our boys on ‘the other side. Were thére time it would be a pleagure to relate in detail a number of instances in whi¢h young men have been helped to such an ex- tent. that the whole .course of their future lives has been shaped. Inasmuch, however, as it is simply the province of this report to call your attention briefly to the work of the several departments, I therefore ask your consideration of the work of the Religious Work Department. Our Sunday afternoon services have been 'regularly held throughout the year. Through the kindness of Judge Thayer we were able for a number of weeks to hold these in one of his stores on Franklin square. The other meet- ings have been held in our own build- ing, while special events have been held at,the Davis theatre. During the warm summer afternoons, through the kindness of the officers of Sedgwick post, G. A. R, our meetings were con- ducted. on the lawn in front of the Buckingham Memonial. Bible classes have been regularly conducted for both men and boys and meetings have also been held at the county jail during the past year under the leadership of Edmund A. Prentice, who 'has so faithfully cared for this department of our work for so many years. A Monday noon prayer service has also been held in our building. The opportunity for personal work among the many men who have fre- quented our building has heen eagerly availed of by our general secretary and good advice and counsel have been given to many of our young men. Early in the year this department, as well as our entire association work. met with a severe loss in the death of Hon. Amos A. Browning. ~Mr. Brown- ing had been chairma nof this depart- ment for many years and was deeply interested in the work in order that the young men of our community might be benefited. Mr. Browning’$ interest in all branches of our association work w: very ‘great and we have\ during tI past _months realized more and more the loss we have sustained.” We feel sure that the ‘well done, good and faithful servant, has been said to him by our common Lord and Master and that our great loss is his eternal gain. Business Department. For the thirteenth comsecutive vear we have closed our accounts with a balance in the ireasury and with all bills paid. Our special campaign in May, 1917, for funds for a new building was_suc- cessful and most gratifying and $125,- 000 was pledged for this purpose. Of this amount, $63,029.85 has been paid, as wiil be shown by the report of the treasurer of the building fund. Of this’amount, $5000' was contributed, in' accordance with the agreement made during the campaign, to the Na- tional Y. M. C. A, war work fund and $1,200 has also ‘been paid for the ex- tension work of the association in the foreign.field in China. Our finance committee has given careful-attention to the business affairs of -our association and as a result financial credit of the association is of the highest. Our trustees have given careful at- tention to the funds entrusted to them and a- careful consideration of their report will be of interest to every member. -The sum of $18.500 was assigned to Norwich and vicinity in the second Y. M. C. A. war work campaign and ds a result of special effort a sum ex- ceeding $26,000 was pledged, of which practically all' has been paid to the sttae treasurer. Our building committee will also re- port that the very desirable properties PR RS ST reau in charge. There was a good atiendance, Painting Mill.

It is hoped -that in due time a fitie, new, rthoroughly equipped, modern building will be erected, but it is not the purpose of the committee to consider any construction work until war conditions have passed. Membership. Inasmuch as in our building cam- paign in May 1917, we agreed to allow comntributors above a certain sum to have included therein their member- ship in the -association, we have been able to add @' number of namés to our membership” list. These _conditions will also prevail during the coming year and it is fair to state that our membership in all departments num- ‘bers approximately 1,000. Rental Department. The opportunity for service to our soldier boys has made the work of the rental committee much more difficult than in past years. Practically every available space in our building in which a cot’ could be set up has been utilized and on several occasions over 125 men have been accommodated at night, All reports of this department haveé been most gratifying, but best of all has been the opportunity for per- sonal contact with the men as well as with the soldier boys. A new depar- ture has been the serving of Sunday morning breakfast during the -pas: month, and the soldiers have showed their appreciation of this effort by their Hberal patronage. A straight talk has been given by some prominent citizen and the attention accorded him lhv the fellows has: been most inspir- ng. Educational Department. 'While the equipment for the educa- tional work in our present building is limited, our committee: has been ex- ceedingly active on several occasions by means of lectures, concerts and entertainments of high order, to bring to our members such phases of current events and current topics as would be most helpfui to our beys. Practical talks have been given, and special in- struction, with a liberal use of t moving picture machine, have all tend- ed to make an active and successful year in this department. Because of the lack of a suitable place to hold entertainments, we were obliged for a second time to omit our Star course of entertainments. The reading room, as usual, is well supplied with peri- odicals and magazines and at almost any time of the day men may be seen availing themselves of the privileges of this department. Social Department. The social departmeént, as in previ- ous years, has been very active ju its efforts to stimulate the social life of the association. Many social events have been held as well as receptions to the different organizations of our city, and it has been remarked time and again that the social atmosphera of our association was of the highest type. While R. H. Gray, chairman of this committee, has taken up his resi- dence in New London. he has retained his interest not only in this committes but in our association work. Physical Department. Throughout the year our gymnasium has been. conducted with much enthu- sium. During the early months of the vear our ph)sma. director, Mr. Roy T. Crosby, felt the call to service over- seas, and in February left us -to take up work in France. The reports which have come to us from him show how important a field of ielnce he is fill- ing with our boys “over there,” and Norwich association feels a varticular pride in having one of its officers en- gaged In so important a branch of the service. - Our depfirtment mmittee was exceedingly fortunate in securing the services of John M. Swahn, who has for many years been identified with our local work as a leader and our work under his supervision has gone on in a most highly satisfactory manner. We are greatly indebred to Mr. Swahn for his service in this de- partment for the securing of a new physical director at this time would have heen very difficult, when so many men have left'the work to accept the call to service, hoth in Natlonal can- tonments and overseas. Junior Department. Under the direction of Mr. Ely, the Boys' Work secretary, 'and Mayor Brown as chairman of the Boys’ Work committee everything possible has been been done to stimulate a healthy interest in this department. Thé boys have been Joyal in their support of their leaders and their rooms have literally been crowded on many occa- sions, and especially during the win- ter months. The boys have been given talks and lectures and the annual Father and Son banquet given this Year was, in my opinion, the most successful one ever held. The' hoys have ‘been' identified with the out movement and have also sold Liberty bonds and thrift stamps. There is no more important departmert of our as- sociation than our boys’ work and we only wish that our equipment for the work of this department were much more adequate. Benjamin M. Bruce who has served not only as office secretary, as scout master for our city, and from time to time as a capable and worthy assist- ant to=Mr. Ely left our association %he early par{ of the year to enter the employment of the goternment at Washington. His loss as a member of our employed force was keenly felt. but we have been successful in re- cent weeks in securing Joseph Rine- hart, who will no* only be able to fill the position of office secretary, but will have charge of the building each night and do personal work among the soldier boys who come to our build- ing in such large numbers. Benevolence. Under the leadership of our ef- cient chairman of this department, a number of the sick members have been visited, flowers have been sent, and whenever. the opportunity offered, our boys have been remembered as the occasion required. Foreign Work. Our association has for another year, paid for the service of an Amer- ican secretary at Pao-ting-ful, China, association. Robert W. Clack, who visited our city some months ago, is still in charge of the work; having re- turned from his furlough in-this coun- try. The opportunity for service among the Chinese is very great and we are pleased to report that the re- sults in this work have been most en- couraging. Women’s Auxiliary. Teh members of the auxiliary have been most faithful in their efforts to assist in_ every possible way in the increased work. The auxiliary, in the building fund campaign subscribed 1$5,000 to the fund. | Throughout the éntire year ‘they have beeri most ready to meet the many’ demands:made upon them and their interest in: the. work of the as- increase, as b\ < It would be impossible for us as an organiation BORN.

At meeting of the Class of 1912, Norwich ‘Free Academy, held May 8, 1918, the following preamble and reso- lutions were adopted: Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God in His divine wisdom to remove from this life our beloved classmate, FLORENCE ADELAIDE SAUER. Whereas, In her death We have lost 4 loyal and esteemed member of our class; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the members of the Class of 1912, Norwich Free Acad- emy, while humbly bowing in submis- sion to the will of Almighty God,! deeply mourn the loss of our beloved classmate, Florence Adelaide ‘Sauer, whose sunny and kindly disposition won its. way into the hearts of all; Resolved, That we tender our sim- cere sympathy to her bereaved ones and may He who doeth all things give them strength to bear with fortitude their great loss. Resolved, That a copy of these reso- lutions be forwarded to the family of the deceased. ‘CLASS OF 1812. Church & Allen 15 Main Street \ FUNERAL DIRECTORS EMBALMERS HENRY E. CHURCH WM.

Endowments. I wish it were possibie for me to re- port an increase of our endowment funds, If the citizens of Norwich could but realize the importance of having adequate funds of this character, 1 feel that the response would be more generous in the future than In the past. We are, grateful for the sum which has been given to us and which now amounts, according to the trustees’ report to $30,625. Perhaps someore ‘will read this account and realize the opportunity of service to the men and boys of Norwich, and add to his will a clause making the asso- ciation a beneficiary for a liberal amount. The association has been very fort- unate in retaining the services = of General Secretary Edwin Hill as well as Boys’ Serrenr Ely. RBoth of these men have en unsparingly of their time and services and have worked early and late in order that the in- creased duties which devolved upon them, with the decreased force of as sistants, might be accomplished. I be- speak for them the co-operation of every member of the association and I trust that each one will consider it his duty as well as his privilege to hold up the hands of these two splendid of- ficials the coming months. Our association was greatly honored in May, 1917, by having the Honora- ble William H. Taft -as its anniversary speaker. Mr. Taft’s coming to Nor- wich was one of the great events in our history and his address at our an- niversary gathering held in the Davis theatre was one that will not soon be forgotten. Bishop Acheson, of the Church of Connecticut, also us by his presence, giving a large au- dience a most stirring and helpful ad- dress in the Davis theatre.

We realize more than ever the need in this community of - services Episcopal honored Victrola? ‘which pf should be properly rendered by our as- sociation and I ask your prayers that God’'s blessing may rest upon our en- tire work during the coming year. It lis my desire that we shall fill a larger place in this community than ever be- fore and that, co-operating with oth- er organizations which alike engage in the building up of character, we may make Norwich a better city in 1918 than it has ever been in the past.
