The purpose of the Monogram Club is to promote and uphold the highest athletic standards and to create a closer bond of fellow- ship and loyalty among lettermen. With this in mind, members of the Monogram Club carried out a plan of re-organization that began a year ol' varied activities and projects. At the first meeting in December ollicers were elected to serve for the remaining portion ofthe school year. Those elected were Charlie Bryant, president, Perry Jones, vice president, Clyde Garrison, secretary, -lack Petty, treasur- er: and Kenneth Yarborough, sergeant-ab arms. Athletic Director A. Simeon was named adviser. There are eight sports in which H.P.H.S. players and managers may earn letters. Al- though the winning ol' a block H.P. is necessary, the candidate must be accepted by club vote to become a member of the Monogram Club. Immediately alter re-organizing, twenty-eight boys were admitted to the ranks ofthe lettermen. ln order to provide money for worthwhile projects the club sold basketball novelty pins and operated a Concession stand during base- ball and track seasons.
