PHYSICS CLASS Students who selected Physics as their science this year felt that they were among the most fortunate. Though this science has been considered one of the most difficult high school subjects, Mr. Schooley has the ability to make it an oasis in the desert. His keen wit cracks out far ahead of the class much of the time — but when one can catch up it is the bright spot of the day. The increasing popularity of this course is proved by the gain in enrollment. This year ' s class of 29 members is the largest in its history. Mr. Schooley ' s illustrations brought the light of physics even to the dimmest mind. Those seniors interested in literature this year were under the instruction of Miss Dawson. The first semester the class discussed the more important English writers and their works. Shakespeare ' s Macbeth seemed to prove itself the most interesting to the class. The second semester the class studied modern writers. In order to gain credit in this subject the A, B, and C students were required to have fifty points for out of school read- ing, and the other students were required to read a book a semester.

Rieke BOYS ' Hl-Y The Boys Hi-Y is sponsored by the Young Men ' s Christian Association and supervised by Harry Kreider. This or- ganization is one of the most important boy ' s club in the school. The local or- ganization received its charter in 1922, and adopted the creed: To create, main- tain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Chris- tian character. The club holds meetings every Tues- day night at the Y. M. C. A. Every other Tuesday night they have a pot-luck sup- per with some kind of an entertainment. The club, at regular intervals, initiates new members into the organization. There are no Freshmen eligible for the club, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors only be- ing allowed to take part in it. At present it has 5 3 members in it. Interesting talks were given by differ- ent people during the year. Some of the more interesting discussions were given by Charles Lash on Hypnotism and Mr. Schooley on Sleight-of-Hand. Mr. A. L. Johnson of the Auburn Auto- mobile Company gave an intensely inter- esting talk on his trip of last summer into the far North. Three hundred miles above the Arctic Circle by airplane gave him ample material with which to hold his audience spell-bound. He showed sev- eral reels of motion pictures which he had taken enroute. In the spring, the Ways and Means committee sponsored a play to make money to meet some of the organization ' s expenses. The actors in this play con- sisted solely of boys. Considerable time was spent by the committee to put this play on and without the co- operation of all, the play would have been impossible. The officers during the first semester were: Charles Welch, president; Joe Lumm, vice president; Bob Berg, treasur- er; Harold Stump, secretary; and Lee An- derson, program chairman. Those elect- ed for the second semester were: Emmett Anderson, president; Joe Lumm, vice president; John Morris, treasurer; Howard McKenney, secretary; and L. J. Renz, program chairman. These last mentioned officers will hold office until the election is held for next year. 21
