Hi-Y To Character The Angola chapter of Hi-Y was the first Hi-Y club to be organized in the state of Indiana. The club was organized in 1922 by Mr. Estrich. The purpose of the organization is To create, maintain, and extend throughout the community the high ideals of Christian character. The club met every Monday evening throughout the school year. A large number of the meet- ings in the fall were devoted to messenger service training in connection with the Civilian Defense pro- gram. The training consisted of instruction in first aid, fighting incendiarv bombs, setting up control centers, combating the use of gas, and various other phases of defense work. The training was under the direction of Mr. Certain. Interesting talks were given later in the year by outside speakers, among whom were Dr. Knirk, veterinarian; Dr. Blough, optometrist; Lieutenant Jackson of the U. S. Navy; George Meyer of the PT Division of the U. ' S. Navy. At one meeting each Hi-Y member told what he hoped to be doing ten years from now. These ambitions were written out and put in envelopes which were kept by Mr. Estrich. At a meeting of Hi-Y alumni in 1953 they will be brought out and read. The annual Father and Son banquet was held at the Christian Church on November 16. The main address was given by the Reverend John Humfreys on the topic The Mysteries of Life. To carry out the ideals of the spiritual side of the Hi-Y triangle, a chapter from the Bible was read at each meeting. Also all members stood and repeated the Lord ' s Prayer. The physical side of the triangle was represented by a Hi-Y basketball team. The; ' opposed a team from the F. F. A. At the close of every meeting there was a scandal sheet, better known as the VhangdoodIe. The officers for the year were: President, Wendell Zimmer; vice president, Floyd Smurr; secretar) - treasurer, Jim Keckler; sergeant-at-arms, Roy Bledsoe. Mr. Certain was the sponsor.
