Lambert presides Qver l-li-V, Christian Clubs Give Carnival Every club that endures has a worthy purpose. So it is with Hi-Y, the high school boys club whose purpose is to create and maintain throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. In the pursuit of this purpose the club has educated many boys annually along spiritual and cultural lines. The governing body of the club is a cabinet which is headed by Albert Lambert, president. The other officers, who are also on the cabinet, are Edwin Maier, Vice-president, Keith Curfman, secretary, Howard Engleman, treasurer: and Willis Payton, Student Council representative. The rest of the cabinet made up of chairmen of the various committees. Every two weeks the club meets in the Y-Scout building where during the noon hour, they are served a luncheon. The cabinet arranges for the preachers of the various churches and leading business men to address the boys on special occasions they engage speakers from out of town. After lunch is se1'ved the the boys generally break up into groups and spread out into the game rooms, where they play ping pong or into the anti room where they carry on informal discussions of timely events and topics. Occasionally they have the more talented members entertain them with a musical number, but most ol' the time is used in learning to know the other members better and mastering the principals of good fellowship. Since the founding of the club they have always sponsored a prayer week. The Girl Reserves, which is a club for girls built on about the same principles as the Hi-Y, has always helped them in promoting their big projects. Madeline Miller, president of G. R., presided over the meetings which were called for 15 minutes every morning of the week of November 4-8. An added activity of the Hi-Y club, working with the G. R., was a play which they presented in the Thanksgiving Day assembly program. It was a one act play interpreting the true Thanksgiving spirit in a modern setting. The cast made up oil' Hi-Y and G. R. members, included Nina Mae Brill, Betty Ham- ilton, Claire Edwards, lVIarjorie Hadley, Emily Jane Yount, Margaret Lowery, Grace Newman, Victor Bryant, Howard Entr- leman, Edwin Mair, Martin Myers, Russel Leach, and Jay Ruckcl. One of the high spots of the year came when the District Hi- Y convention met in Pitttsburg. Twelve delegates from the local chapter who attended were Albert Lambert, Keith Curfman, Howard Engleman, Duane Crill, Duane Walker, Russel Leach. -lay Ruckel, Robert Clough, Jack Maze, John Shea, and Bruce Edwards. The delegation stayed three days, leaving here Dec- ember 13 and returning December 15. Mr. Hoyt Piper, head sponsor of Hi-Y and Homer J. Clark, secretary of the character building organizations acted as chaperons on the trip. It has always been the custom of the club to work with the G. R. in putting on a show once every two years. Until two years ago the show was a circus featuring the members of the physical education classes, with elephants, clowns, and all the trimmings. This year a carnival was held March 27 on the lower floor of the school building and had as its main attraction, the crowning of Queen Patricia and King Pat frickl. 'MGE 14 LENA DAVIS College Prep.

,Gb Doctorll ls Large Dose of Amusement Even an apple a day couldn't have kept us away from Oli Doctor! It was one of the most sparkling, modern operettas we've ever had, thanks to the efforts of the high school and jun- .or college music departments. The two leading roles were taken by Lillian Clough as Hon- or and John Tufts as Phillip. They made a, marvelous romantic combination, and both gave performances that were the top. llaskill Gill as Dr. Drinkwater, owner of the Drinkwater Sani- tarium, and Alice Newman as Glory, his granddaughter, player' their parts cleverly and were received by the audience with much enjoyment. The stad' of doctors, Dr. Cuttem, Dr. Slaughter, and Dr. Coffin, played by Douglas More. Wayne Thomas, and Norman Troxell were idiotic but entertaining. Norman Troxthelth lithp wath tho amuthing! KNOW he's got me doing it.J Three clever comedy roles as patients in the Drinkwater Sanitarium were played by Hope Day, Emily Jane Yount, and Captola Shelhamer. hope, as the plump C?J Mrs. Crossly, was a trifle ded, Emily portrayed Mrs. Weakly, a thin, homely old woman, Captola as Cynthia, Bob's cousin, was a sweet young thing just bubbling over with her love for Dr. Coffin. A high point in the operetta was the comical dance done by these three patients and the three doctors. Guy Brewer 'bout stole the show as Rainbow, the slow, stupid negro servant. Bessie, the pretty coquettish maid, was the main heartthrob of Jim, one of Phillip's men. Marjorie Hadley and Jay Ruckel played these parts as if they enjoyed them as much as the audience. And remember the Old Timel as played by Raymond Ausmus? He made a grand character role of it. Manuel, the big, bad robber, played by Harold Keller. almost rated hisses and booes when he kidnaped Bessie and Rainbow. Richard Hall as Pancho, Manuel's brother, nearly fooled us with his broken English, but he made a convincing Mexican. After seeing Bob, better known af, Mack Gilstrap, it was easy to understand why Dr. Drinkwater df sired a match between him and Glory. Oh yes, and Marjorie Crill as Madame Chere, Honor's mother, not only captivated Dr. Drinkwater, but the audience as well. Charles L. Hinchee and A. F 'an Romani deserve lot.. of bouquets for giving us such a. Htertaining evening. Th-' musical score, plus the dialogue '-.is used effectively by the characters to turn out a finished pf: formance. To Miss Edith Davis goes th' credit for the novel and lovely dances. The most outstanding number was the ballet, given as an interpretation of the birth of the spring. Nina Marine Davis took the part of the goddess, and Dick A. Hc-ward played the part of the pilgrim. Jacqueline Burnett did 11 sol'- dance, accompanied by a chorus of nymphs. Others who were responsible for the success of this presentation were Miss Esther Denton who was in charge of the costuming, and Miss Vera Koontz who took care of the scenery. Vic Gillespie was stage manager, W. A. Sneller arranged for the stage carpentry, Howard Clark was property manager, and Willis Payton was business manager.
