HISTORY OF ' After the state Y. M. C. A. convention, held in London, Ohio, the latter part of the year 1915, it was decided to have a High School Y. M. C. A. organization, in order that the Young Men’s Chris¬ tian Association could work together in a co-operative way. The Hi Y Club held its first meeting on Jan. 7, 1916. At this meeeting the club was organized and officers were elected as follows: President, Paul Knoedler. Vice President, Karl Krobb. Secretary, Ness Irvine. Treasurer, Edgar Lenhart. The meetings were placed in charge of Rev. Whallon, who gave many interesting talks to the boys. Some of the prominent business men of the town gave short addresses during that year. Among them were: Mr. Hanlon, Rev George Shurtz, Mr. Snedeker and Dr. Long. Many good social times were enjoyed by the Hi Y members that year and two of the leading attractions were the Zoller Mandolin Club and the Karl Krobb Kompany. It is said that fabulous sums of money were spent in order that these companies might entertain the club. The Hi Y Club did not really become a big organization until late in 1916. Beginning in November, meetings were held every Friday for several weeks. New officers of the club were elected as follows: President, Clifford Westenbarger. Vice President, Heber England. Secretary, Bernard Mast. Treasurer, John Schooley. Through the kindness of the Comus staff a space was left open each month in the Comus for Hi Y notes, and the meetings were told of in this column, in order that the school might see what the Hi Y Club was doing. HI-Y CLUB Among the most important of the meetings held were those in honor of retiring Coach “Dutch’’ Pfeifer and the new coach, Diehl At the former meeting a loving cup was presented to “Dutch by the club, in honor of his untiring and loyal efforts toward the ath¬ letic and German departments of Z. H. S. At this meeting and at the one in honor of Coach Diehl, over seventy boys were present and songs and yells were given under the leadership of Carl Cashbaugh. During the holidays no meetings were held, but again in Janu¬ ary we met. The Hi Y Club adjourned near the middle of Febru¬ ary, with the prospect of having a “bigger and better’’ organization next fall. During the past year committees were appointed by Mr. Sne¬ deker to look after the religious, membership, and social phases of the club. Many good talks were rendered and the following men honored us in this way: Rev. Shurtz, Mr. Snedeker, Mr. Miller, Mr. Mast, Coaches Pfeifer and Diehl, Mr. Flegal, Mr. Leasure, Loren Jones of the Bob Jones party, and many of the boys at the different meetings also gave short talks. In all, the Hi Y Club was very successful during these two years. The active members this year were: Rev. Shurtz, Mr. Sne¬ deker, Clifford Westenbarger, Bernard Mast, Heber England, John Schooley, Ralph Weber, Ralph Mclntire, Herbert Lind, Carl Cash¬ baugh, Upton Walters, Paul Baker, Hamilton Bell, Perry Crum- baker, Daniel Price, Harold Talley, Earl Tilton, Russell McSwords, Leslie Johnson, Warne Still, Warren Black, Chauncy Swingle, Don¬ ald McCann, Douglas Duncan, Graydon Clifton, Holston Grassell, Clarence Miller, Fred Torbert, Lawrence Morrison, William Roben- alt, Roland Jones, Sammy Johnson, William McCarthy, Richard Atwell, Edwin Roe, William Heck, Leo Levi, Delmer Ardrey, Fuller Sherlock, James Offenbacher, John Rowland, Wilburt Fulton, Bur¬ dette Kappes.
