af Geac! f Social activities of the I-Ii-Y are many and varied. First in the year comes the Freshman-Nevw comer Initiation, followed by the Father and Son Banquet. Induc- tion, preceded by much careful preparation on the part of the initiates, is third on the list. Late spring brings the Best Girl Party, at which each boy proudly dis- plays his friend , Occasionally some of the members and their sponsors attend one of the many conferences held from time to time throughout the state. Play is intermixed with work-lack is not destined to be a dull boy merely because he entertains solid ideals. Its long record of existence in Valparaiso High School proves that I-Ii-Y is fulfilling a definite purpose. There are no more will- ing workers anywhere than those to be found in this club. Appeals tor help never fail to find a re- sponse among these boys. From them will come the poised and civic-minded leaders of tomor- row, the kind of leaders our coun- try and our World need.

z-W G ' Sign To create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the school and community high standards of character has been the object of our Hi-Y ever since its founding twenty-one years ago. Member- ship in' this junior branch of the YMCA is open to all boys who desire it sufficiently to pledge themselves to its ideals. Mr. Ralph Schenck and Mr. Alfred Henkel are the sponsors of the organization. Noted particularly for its serv- ice, Hi-Y operates the used book- store, conducts the sale of sched- ule pencils, and handles the checkroom at dances and games. At Christmas time it buys all the seals for the Valpost. Each fall it cooperates with its twin, the Y- Teens, to stage the Freshman- Newcomer Initiation. Seeking to emphasize courtesy, it presents an annual courtesy award to some student Whom the faculty has selected. The members at- tend church in a body three times a year, and the church committee urges individual members to at- tend their own church services Whenever possible.
