It is an organization sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., our club being connected with the Y. M. C. A. of Granite City. The purpose of this club is to create and maintain high standards of Christian living. The club was a little late in getting started this year but with the help of Elmer Hill, the Boy’s Work secretary of the Granite City Y. M. C. A., we soon worked up to normal again. The most important activity of the club this year was the promoting of the Golden Rule Cam- paign. Five eminent speakers were brought before our assembly and gave talks on the application of the Golden Rule in various walks of life. Page forty-three
