Much of the credit for the successful performance goes to the excellent cast, and to the director, Miss Ruby Wright. Cust included: G. Schruer, D. Waite, J. Solberg, B. Jutstrom. G. Schrlefer, J. Fraser, B. I-Iugg'ns, D. Orange, J. Dixon, G. Hansen, G. Parr, P. Cnusens, IJ. McLaughlin, B. Jameson, B. Coe, J. A. Harry, H. Schuttpelz, B. Burke, K. Morin, C. Larson.

HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y, a branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, is a new organiza- tion in Marshfield High School. lt has already taken its place among the other organiza- tions and proved its value in promoting character and high standards among high school boys. In addition, it has been one of the aims of the club to improve the welfare of the youth of Marshfield. A great many activities were carried out successfully by the Hi-Y this year. Usher- ing, selling tickets and confections at games, presenting a movie for the student body, establishing a fire squad for the school building, and starting a toy-drive at Christmas added to the welfare and organization of the student body. A large delegation was sent to the Hood River conference in April, accompanied by Mr. Martin J. Elle, club advisor. First row: C. Larson: D. Waite: L. Watts, secretary: L. Schuttpelz: G. Wittlck: J.
