This series is arranged by format, and within that arrangement, chronologically. It includes clippings related to YWCA events, programs, and campaigns; photographs of YWCA clubs, outings, and events; scrapbooks organized by date and subject (e.g. the Hi-Spot); and slides documenting a variety of YWCA activities and campaigns. The scrapbooks contain a range of formats, including clippings, correspondence, ephemera, minutes, newsletters, pamphlets, and photographs. The Hi-Spot, Business Girls’ League, Schofield Hall and Villa Nueva figure prominently in the scrapbooks. Business Girls’ League, founded in 1930, offered vocational counseling, classes, and clubs for working women. The Hi-Spot (1944-1961) was a popularteen center governed by a council of high school students with an adult advisory board. The Hi-Spot sponsored a snack bar, classes and discussions, sports and games, dances, and a Sunday column in the San Jose Mercury entitled “Hi-Spot News.” By the 1950s the majority of its members were Latino youth. Schofield Hall (1916-1973) and Villa Nueva (1993-present) are the two buildings the YWCA has occupied in the agency’s history. Both buildings were the result of enormous capital campaigns relying on community support, and both facilities housed administrative offices as well as residences, programs, and services.
