REGIS Financial Geniuses should be the alias of Regis, for they had the reputation of being the first club to get in its dues, even though they had to borrow. Besides being known as financially able, Regis was notorious for its social functions. It held more joint meetings than any other club in the school. Riding on all this fame was not only its main objective. Each year, Regis has donated funds to the American Field Service, and it has given baskets to needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas. These baskets help to make the holidays brighter for the underprivileged, while also giving satisfaction to the boys. HOW |{ R. Berglund, B. Brut , M. Kuntz, J. Ntvill , 5. Hugh , C. Burton, P.

RHON The name of Rhon Hi-Y has an interesting derivation. It was composed of the first letter from the names of the club's first four presidents. The chapter helped the Y.M.C.A. by raising money for F.O.B. (For Other Boys) through the sale of Christmas tree tickets to be used at Y-Men's lots. Last fall, club meetings were highlighted by the showing of movies of Edina-Morning-side football games. The student body and their parents had the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from Rhon's efforts. The club sponsored Mr. and Mrs. Aron from India at an all-school meeting to which the community was invited. ROW I; J. Cooper, D. Sarlei, G. Finkenaur, B. Christenson, T. Rote, S. Thorne, J. Moe.

The members of Tri-Alpha were enthusiastic listeners when Suzanne Joslin spoke at one meeting about her A.F.S. summer in Europe. She told of her experiences in Switzerland, and showed an interesting collection of colored slides. At the approach of the Christmas holidays, Tri-Alpha members were seen selling Christmas tree tickets and working as tree jacks at the Southdale Christmas tree lot. Money earned in this manner, and by various doughnut sales throughout the fall, provided an unfortunate family with a Christmas basket. Tri-Alpha members, in charge of clean-up for the Christmas dance, were the last to leave the Hi-Y Formal after making this necessity seem like fun. -29-

UTILIS Membership in Hi-Y expands every year with the increasing enrollment of the school, and the widening influence of boys in Hi-Y activities. This year a new chapter, named Utilis, was added. The dynamics of the new group were displayed as they rose from an empty treasury to one of the wealthiest. Besides fund-raising campaigns, they seemed to have ample time for service projects; as they gave a Thanksgiving basket to a needy family, and contributed to the For Other Boys Organization. Decorating for the Hi-Y Formal and selling Christmas trees were two more successful ventures highlighting the debut of Utilis. AUCTOR By sponsoring an armed forces program which answered many pertinent questions, Auctor began the year with enthusiasm. Throughout the year, the club's agenda was fitted to the boys' various interests. At a typical meeting, the group could be seen watching movies about such sports as fishing and hunting. Adding variety to their social life, other meetings were spent conversing with guests from different clubs. Raising money for its activities was no problem to Auctor, as it took part in the selling of Christmas tree tickets for the Hi-Y tree lot ot Southdale. DEI-GRATIA Luck seemed to be staying with Dei-Gratia, as the club has chosen the winning Hi-Y Sweetheart candidate for the last two years. The club members were busy thinking up clever ways to decorate the gym for the dance. With the job completed, they finally were able to relax and enjoy themselves dancing. Service projects were numerous in the chapter this year. A Thanksgiving basket was filled and given to an underprivilged family. By raising money through Christmas tree tickets and doughnut sales, Dei-Gratia found it had sufficient funds to make donations to both the American Field Service and the For Other Boys Organization.

Entertainment was provided by girls from each club modeling their favorite outfits. Many hair styles were changed when a hair dresser from the Dahl House came and spoke on the relationship of hair style to the shape of the face. Another program's agenda called for a panel of University boys discussing dating. The Christmas spirit was expressed when the members donated a big food basket to a needy family. The club also sang Christmas carols in an old people's home. IXIONS ROW J: J. Thin, J. Ward. D. Hunter, M. Anderton, N. Rue, M. Martin, K. Lemons. ROW 2: J. Englehart, K. Kannenberg, J. Stuckel, M.

LES FEMMES An Ixion scavenger hunt provided three baskets of canned goods which were supplemented by a huge turkey and given to a needy family at Thanksgiving. At one meeting, four boys from private car clubs explained the purposes of their clubs and how they were organized. The girls found that the clubs did much in the way of helping to prevent accidents, and spreading the spirit of courtesy and consideration to other drivers. Ixions sponsored the first shoe shine in the history of Edina Y-Teens. The members played Shoe-Shine Boy through the halls for three days before the Hi-Y Formal, and reported that they had a flourishing business. Les Femmes ran into some bad luck this year. A lady, scheduled to speak to them from a modeling school, was unable to come. The bad fortune continued when a fire at General Hospital prevented the distribution of gifts to the hospital's old people. Very successful, nevertheless, was its Thanksgiving project — the packing and sending of a basket to a Jewish settlement home. In the spring, a joint meeting with one of Washburn's Hi-Y clubs turned out to be a very enjoyable opportunity to meet and make new friends. At Easter, Les Femmes gave its second annual party for the Park Settlement House. ROW ?j P. Rockstad, R. Pearson. S. Bod , P. Fovill . B. Koyser, G. Gr n, P. Phillips. ROW 2: C. Jenson, J. Mo . T.
