searches Hi-Y bill. Scott’s job as Lt. Governor was just like Va.’s Lt. Governor’s, J. Marshall Coleman. He presided over the Senate and made sure everything was run smoothly. He needed to know every aspect of the Senate in case of the Governor’s absence. Scott Steele, Lieutenant Governor for 1979, re- Bryan Elliot in his role as Assistant Speak- er of the House. Bryan’s duties as Assistant Speaker were similar to Scott’s ex- cept he presided over the House of Delegates. The extreme size of the House required thorough know- ledge of parliamentary procedure to conduct business. Young Legislators!

Sponsored by the Virginia YMCA, the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y clubs are among our most active. Their chief aim is to serve the community through projects such as litter pick-up and fixing bas- kets for needy families. Two state- wide activities, Model General As- sembly and Leadership Adven- ture, have a strong attraction for our members. Thirty-two Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y members and advisors attended the 31st session of M.G.A. to learn the theory and practice of legis- lative processes in Virginia. Gov- ernor John Dalton and many oth- er important figures of state gov- ernment were present. Leadership Adventure, a week long session in Hi-Yers Serve Community which students learn about them- selves and others, is held at Fer- rum College. In addition to classes, free time for swimming, and playing basketball, softball, and tennis provided an opportun- ity to meet participants from oth- er schools. This past summer Al- tavista had thirty-one club mem- bers attending. Everyone had a great time. As a result of various service projects, the club has won the Ace Award 13 times, more than any other club in the state. This award is given annually to clubs meeting the necessary re- quirements.
