HI-Y The 1942 Hi-Y is streamlined to meet the ideals of the democratic way of living. .Although Y. M. C. A.'s were in existence in high schools as early as 1889, the organization named Hi-Y dil not make its appearance until 1911. The McCook chapter was started in 1928. To stimulate high standards of Christian character is the purpose of Hi-Y and this is accomplished by clean living, clean speech, clean athletics, and clean scholar- ship.
