TIIE CLA RION EK, DOERFLER, WEBSTER, ZIEGLER, ZIEGLER Thrift Banking The idea of school savings in the Appleton High School was originated in 1913 by Principal P. G. W. Keller. Miss Rose McNevin was the first faculty sponsor, and two students were chosen from each of the four classes to serve as directors. Deposits were made just before the opening of school in the afternoon, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, in what was then known as the Library, fthe alcove at the back of the assembly rooml. The money was invested and students received 4? on all sums over 51.00. In l9l8, Miss May Webster succeeded Miss McNevin as bank sponsor, and deposits were made in the south corridor, where a bank cage was erected. A year or two later when the halls became too crowded at noon because of an ever increasing enrollment, the place for making deposits was again changed, and room 206 was used. In l923, during Mr. Lee Rasey's administration, this private system of banking seemed inadequate for so large an enrollment, and it was transferred to the First National Bank under the direction of Thrift Incorporated. The interest rate was then changed to Tk for all amounts over one penny. One day was set apart as Bank Day , and all deposits were made in the various home rooms under the direction of cashiers appointed in room. W In September l924, Mr. Willard 'Cross assumed the duties of bank sponsor, reliev- ing Miss Webster on account of illness. It was again turned over to Miss Webster the following year, and she has since sponsored the activity. Until 1927, bank records of the various classes were considered in school spirit contests, and there was a good deal of rivalry among classes for high percentages. All activities in any way depending on linancial support are now eliminated from the school spirit cup race, consequently bank averages have been somewhat lower during the past two years, but thrift has been so well established in the school., that 65? of the student body are regular depositors.

The Appleton Chapter of Hi-Y disproved this by having one of its most successful seasons. Although the club worked under many handicaps it can look hack on its record and be proud. Because it was found to be impracticable to have both an A and a B chapter of Hi-Y, the two chapters were joined under the name of the Appleton Hi-Y Club. During the past year the organization sponsored a second hand book sale, a Junior High School free throwing contest, and a movie. One of the biggest projects undertaken by this organization was the education of Junior High Ninth Graders to the various extra-curricular activities. Representative members of each of the activities spoke to the boys On the requirements necessary to enter each activity, the type of boy who would get the most out of the activity, the type of work done in each organization, and the value of the activity in school life. The club held a joint meeting with the Girl Reserves at which the two organizations discussed the desirable qualities of girl and boy friends. Throughout the year the club attended the different churches of the city. Witlm the able assistance of Mr. Orlando Skindrud, faculty sponsorg and Mr. Charles Bailey, Boys Work Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., the Appleton Hi-Y Club did its best to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian Character . l'rIg1I' IIiIII'ly-rigflzl

The membership of this club consists of Sophomore boys. During the past year they were under the guidance and leadership of Mr. C. C. Bailey of the Y.lVl.C.A. The club has been outstanding in its activities this past year. They have sponsored an Inter-junior High School swimming meet at which they awarded ribbons to the first, second, and third place winners in the various events. The club has carried on in a fine way, a better comradeship for Sophomore boys. l'r1yfi' uni' ,I1lllllf't'!l
