Spencer Whittington and Jon Stroble represented the local Hi-Y Club at the state training camp at Delphi, Indiana, last July. After their return, plans were made for the programs and meetings of the year. Movies were shown at several meetings, and two special meetings were held, one in the fall for the fifteen new members and another in the spring for the seniors. A league composed of seven teams from the sixty members played basketball, and a picked team met the faculty in their annual contest with the Hi-Y. This year the faculty All Stars squeezed an over- time win, defeating the Hi-Y Hotfooters by a 5l-50 score. Hi-Y letters were awarded to Mike Antles, Max Grady, Bob Kennedy, Bill Linder, Jon Stroble, Alex Wasmuth, and Spencer Whittington. Mr. Goshert takes the tip from Bill Stevens.

O 0 O I O O l highlights In print. The organizations Portland's spirit's never dead, and this year the Spirit was certainly alive all right. The editorial staff sponsored by Miss White and the production staff under the direction of Mrs. Gibble published all the news around school in attractive six-page papers every three weeks. There were special editions for St. Patrick's Day and Easter, and the red and green Christmas issue was especially popular. Several new features were added this year, including the Hall of Fame and Hi PH5ers columns. Anita Edwards, Myra Jane Freeman, Suzanne Abramson, and Mrs. Gibble put into their work some of the ideas they received from the iournalism work- shop which they attended at Ohio University last summer. This workshop was particularly helpful in giving new lay-out ideas, suitable school news topics, and columns. , Q W ,. , . ,, l -sw' . , .. . C1 , A , .

S The Y-Teens proposed to have every member par- ticipating in a proiect this year. To carry out this aim, business and planning sessions were held the first meet- ing night of each month, and program or social meet- ings the second. The midwinter conference held in Indianapolis was attended by eleven girls. Seventy members went to the exchange meeting at Bluffton, and a few participated in the panel discussion on Dates and Dating. The girls went caroling at Christmas time and cel- ebrated Valentine's Day with an old fashioned box social. A car-washing proiect provided fun, besides profit. Thirty-six bagssof clothing were collected and sent to Lebanon during the Crusade for Children, the service project for the year. S. Beard, C. lykins, and R. Weaver get things set up for the Y-Teen concession stand. 19
