OUR I-II-Y CLUBS ALPHA H1-Y CLUB A high degree of enthusiasm and intense interest marked our first meeting which was held on Tuesday evening, September 26. This enthusiasm and interest have been displayed throughout the school year. The Alpha Hi-Y club owes very much to Mr. Srofe for his untiring service and leadership. Mr. Srofe has had many years of experience in Hi-Y work. The Hi-Y Club has had many successful and interesting meetings this year. We have had discussions, visiting speakers, swimming meets, various athletic events, a skating party, joint Hi-Y-G. R. meeting, and out doors picnics. The members have taken an active part in all the meetings which the club held. The foundation of all Hi-Y work is composed of four planks. These planks are: Clean Speech, Clean Sportsmanship, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Living. The significance of the emblem of the Hi-Y is very important. The white cross at the center of the emblem stands for purity in thought and action. The Red Triangle with its three sides stands for red blooded service to others and for growth in body, mind, and spirit. In the past year we have worked hard and we hope that our achieve- ments and successes will be recorded, not only of the members of the club, but of all members of the student body on their memories. BETA H1-Y CLUB The ambition of most boys while in their freshman and sophomore years is to belong to the Beta Hi-Y Club. This year the club consists of six fresh- men members: Sheldon Rusk, Kenneth Merten, Edward Metzger, Paul Con- nell, jack Dumont, and James Truittg and five sophomores: Arthur Merten, William Pauly, Alfred Wolfer, Herman Brooks, and Harry Hack. The past year in addition to their regular business handled in the meet- ings, the club has endeavored to bring more enjoyment, in the form of recrea- tion and refreshments, into the meetings. The regular monthly program consisted of a business meeting, swimming, recreation, and refreshments. Speakers from various organizations and clubs spoke to the group whenever they were obtainable. The members of the club feel that they have lived according to the stand- ards set by the Hi-Y creed and sincerely hope that they are leaving the club a little better than when they joined.

GIRL RESERVES The purpose of this club is to develop mainly, three things: Body, Mind and Spirit. These factors constitute the triangle which is the symbol of the Girl Reserves. This symbol may be worn by a Girl Reserve on pins or rings. Girls who wear the symbol assume the responsibility for interpreting to their home, church, school, and ccmmunity the purpose of Girl Reserves. For the year 1939-40 the girls took active part in many of the school programs. This club gives the girls of the high school a varied program of recreation, hobbies and lectures by people from the central Y. W. C. A. and other organizations interested in this work. Once a month each club sends two cr more representatives to a city-wide council meeting at the Y. W. C. A. This council is responsible for city-wide activities such as Fall Setting-Up Conference, Hi-Y.-G. R. Conference Com- munity service, ring work, and forms. The year just completed has been a grand success in membership and accomplishments. Social work plays an important part in their program throughout the year. Once a month they made trips to some Home or Institu- tion in an effort to bring a little happiness to the less fortunate. They planned a Hallowe'en party for a colored orphanage, complete with games, decora- tions, and refreshments. At Christmas they deliver baskets throughout the community to the needy and with the cooperation of the Hi-Y take charge of the Christmas assembly. The club advisors, Miss Perin and Miss Pulliam, have worked patiently in dealing with the problems ccnfrcnting the girls and in planning for the club schedule this year.
