YM Marks 100th Year; History Traced Early Gym Class At YMCA By DUNCAN BIRDSELL Journal-Standard Reporter The famous 19th century evangelist Dwight L. Moody sent dozens of students out to follow in his path, but he left a more enduring legacy for Freeport. Now in its 100th year, the local YMCA was kindled in 1868 when Moody told a Stephenson County Sunday school convention that a young men's society to extend a "home, entertainment, education and Christian fellowship" was needed in the community. One year later the Freeport YMCA organized. Those precepts have proved enduring for a century.

Through the YMCA programs the physical, mental and moral well being of Freeport boys and men has been stimulated. The Grows The story of the Freeport is also entwined with the growth of the community. In 1883 the city's first public library acquired a room adjoining the modest YMCA facilities above the old Emmert Burrell drug store on Stephenson Street. In 1904 the city's first indoor swimming pool was constructed in the basement of the old YMCA building on the southeast corner of Stephenson and Walnut across from city hall. Four years later the first radio receiving set in Freeport was set up in the YMCA attic.

Under YMCA sponsorship the summer recreation program in Freeport parks blossomed in the late 1930s. Spurred by the YMCA. lights were erected on Read Park baseball diamonds and softball activities flourished in the 1940s. Recent Activities In more recent years activities have included the Wednesday Lenten breakfast program which started in 1953. The popular Indian Guides program launched in 1956 drew fathers and sons together.

Three tribes initiated the equally appreciated Indian Princess program for fathers and daughters in 1967. Looking back to the first days of the YMCA in Freeport there was nothing to insure its solidarity. The first quarters were found over a downtown dry goods store. There was no general secretary although a city missionary secured for a short time in the winter of 1869-70. Emphasis was along spiritual lines.

Interest In Renewed Interest waned during the 1870s to be renewed in 1882 by reorganization sparked by laymen within Freeport's Protestant churches. Frank L. Perkins was hired as the first general secretary. "The object of this Association shall be to promote the temporal, social, mental, moral and religious welfare of young men," said the constitution. A permanent home materialized for the YMCA in 1888 when the three-story stone and brick structure was erected at Stephenson and Walnut.

Funds for the $26,000 building were raised in a citywide drive, with the) City Council providing the building stone in exchange for public library space. Evangelist Dedicates Building Considered a handsome building at the time, it contained an auditorium, modest gymnasium, reading room, parlors, lodge rooms and later the swimming pool. Fittingly, the evangelist Moody returned to dedicate the building. Memories of using the buil'd- ing remain now with only a handful of Freeporters. Harry Hoyman, 712 S.

Locust who recalls attending gym classes as a boy from 1904 to 1914, said the annual winter circus in the gym featured "all kinds of acrobatic acts and drills." Two summer hikes that would be "killers" for the best conditioned bring smiles to Clarence Young of Woodside Drive. Director Liked Hiking "We took them in 1904 and 1905 when I was in high school," Young said. "We had a director who liked hiking. The first year we went to Galena and back. The second summer we got ambitious and hiked to LaCrosse, by way of Devils Lake and Wisconsin Dells.

It was a good 200 miles. "We had a horse and express wagon to carry the supplies. There was a tent along, but if we were lucky a farmer would let us stay in a barn. Most of our food was cornmeal mush, pancakes, milk and cocoa." Young recalls the group of 26 leg-weary boys stayed a couple days at a camp near LaCrosse, then took a paddle wheel steamer from LaCrosse to Galena at 50 cents apiece and hiked home from Galena. "The whole thing took about three weeks," Young said.

"Everyone made it. The next summer the director was figuring on a hike to Mammoth Cave, but quit the job here before then." Zoning Issues On Council Agenda Home occupations and trailer zoning in manufacturing areas maybe major topics at tonight's City Council meeting. Aldermen will meet a half- hour early at 7 p.m. in order to see the Chamber of Commerce slide presentation on annexation, prepared by the Chamber's city expansion committee.

The final space survey has been received as reported by The Journal-Standard. To Read Report The report of the City planning Commission will be read on home occupations and its recommendation that trailers be permitted, with certain restrictions, in manufacturing areas where new residences are not permitted. Two ordinances are in preparation for improvement by special assessment of Hooker Avenue and West Eby Street, but may not be ready for tonight's meeting, according to Mayor McLeRoy, who heads the Board of Local Improvements. Committee reports expected tonight will be on the airport; the meetings with the County Board committee on a possible City-County Building; and any recommendations after a streets committee meeting scheduled at 4:30 this afternoon. Recommendations The traffic committee will recommend approval of the First National Bank request to break the curb on West Main Street; prohibiting parking for Nurse Class Recruiting Under Way Freeport Memorial Hospital School of Nursing has started its fall recruitment program for the class entering in September 1970.

Plans are being made to give a pre-entrance test December 6, 1969. Students are required to be in the upper half of their high school class and to satisfactorily pass the pre-entrance examination. Upon entrance to the school they spend two semesters at Highland Community College taking basic science and liberal arts requirements. During this time, one course in Fundamentals of Nursing is given at the hospital, so that students will keep in contact with the hospital patient. During the 33-month course, they have both class work and student activity since the student group has a student government affiliated with the State and National Student Nurses Association.

The school is housed in a relatively new dormitory including classroom space and double and single rooms accommodating a total of 90 students. Area students who are interested may call or write Miss Verda Mitchell, director of nursing education, for further particulars. Ex-Apple River Man Found Dead APPLE RIVER Eldon R.

Dreams for a larger and better YMCA for Freeport materialized in 1914 when a building fund drive corralled $110,000 in seven days. About 2,800 people responded with money. The four-story building at Galena and Spring was dedicated in 1916 amid a flurry of pride. Called "the last word in YMCA construction," the new home had basically the same facilities found there today. The swimming pool was billed "the finest west of Chicago." The "Roaring '20s" saw plenty of use of the new facilities and far-ranging camping trips were started in 1928 with "gypsy trips" under the leadership of Merle Dennis.

Camping began on the Oconto River in northern Wisconsin in 1929. Two years later programs started at the present YMCA Camp Archibald in the Nicollet National Forest.

Memberships and the dormitory use dropped way down. Most of the staff were paid very little. Sometimes there wasn't enough to pay the staff after the bills were met."
