HIGH LIFE Ten years ago High Life published its first issue as an independent news- paper. Since then it has developed into a highly rated newspaper, printed fortnightly. Since ads do not quite cover the expenses of High Life, the paper spon- sors a flower sale every spring and sells candy during the whole school year. The greatest contribution rrade by High Life is the training re- • ceived by the board and staff. The responsibilities and perseverance required aids in developing true standards of leadership and literary skill. Assignments are planned by the beard, given to individual staff members who find and write up the news, then the board copyreads, writes head- line, proofreads the material and decides upon the actual makeup of the paper. Miss Grace Hennis in the literary department and Mr. Fred Daigh in the financial, provide the consultation and advice necessary for the staff. They are the true backbone of the paper, always providing the support needed to make it successful.

The producing of a yearbook requires an entire year. The compiling of the publication must run on a definite schedule in order to be completed by the end of the term. There are the artistic, literary, photographic, and business phases which must be planned and worked out by the editor, staff and advisor. Each of these divisions are the responsibility of a person or group of persons who give them the special attention necessary for publication. A yearbook s purpose is to portray student life and record the events of the entire school for a lifetime. It also gives the grad- uate a joyful memory of his years spent in high school. In the first complete-war-time school year of the Second World War, the Cauldron staff proudly present the 1943 Victory Cauldron to the student body for their enjoyment and criticism.

H Y-Y CLUB.. To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character’’—This is the official Hi-Y creed. Hi-Y is a boys’ organization whose primary and most important purpose is directed towards the maintenance of high standards of Christian char- acter and provides opportunities for leadership as well. The organiza- tion is divided into two groups, Freshman-Sophomore directed by Mr. Delmer Kimberling, and Junior-Senior under the supervision of Mr. Ralph Cressey and Mr. Wayne Guthrie. Any freshman desiring to become a member must file a certificate of application to Mr. Kimberling. Each member must attend a certain num- ber of meetings. The dues of $.50 a year apply only to the Junior-Senior group. The members of this branch are formally inducted into the National Hi-Y Fellowship in an impressive ceremony in the spring. The officers are elected in the Spring, and it has been customary for them to attend the annual State Hi-Y Training Camp for a period of one week, with their expenses partially paid In the past a representative has been elected to attend the National Hi-Y Congress every other year. An interesting and educational occasion of the year for Hi-Y is the Older Boys Conference, which deals largely with the many problems confronting the teen-aged boys. This year's conference has been of a special significance due to the present world wide catastrophe and other national problems of the present and the future. 30 Bock Row: R. Hawkins, C. Nagel, P.
