3' I X V717 f. HI-Y In the five years existance of the I-Ii-Y, it has become an organization of the utmost importance in the school life of Bedford High School. Every year it has added more members and every year it has helped in the development of the three sides of a boy's life, the mental, the physical and the spiritual. The school and community as well as the Hi-Y members them- selves realize the good that the Hi-Y club has been doing: thus they have been giving it their heartiest support. The regular meetings, which are held every Wednesday night at seven o'clock, are carried off with zeal and enthusiasm that inspires everyone present. Problems are discusses that are everywhere giving trouble to the high school student. In the past year we have had many talks by older people outside of the Hi-Y. We have gained much in the Way of knowledge by these talks and advice given by the older people. Among those who have given us talks are Mr. Street, Rev. Roberts and Mr. Parsons. Although having only thirty-two members, the Hi-Y be- lieves in quality not quantity . In 'the years of 1924-1925 we held two initiations and a party for the Hi-Y and Y. W. C. A. Much credit is due Mr. McLain. He has been present at all the meetings and all occasions and We wish to acknowledge our thanks to him for his splendid example before us at alltimes. With the co-operation of everyone in high school and everyone in the community We hope to make next years work in the Hi-Y a better and larger year for the Hi-Y.

Girlsi Glee Club From as aspiring group of Prima Donnas assembled for tryouts, thirty-three were selected by Miss Kindblade to carry messages in song. As an aid in carrying out this enjoyable work Marjorie Smith was selected to coax the piano into tune with the bird-likewarbling. With tempermented artists care in management must be observed so Nellie Hensley was elected President, Maxine Moody, the clear-thinker, Vice-Presidentg and happy-go-lucky Bessie Ewart, Secretary. To avoid ab- sences during important rehearsals certain rules were adopted, allowing each girl only two unexcused absences and three ex- cused absences. As a reward for good behavior and conse- quently the valuable training received, one half semester credit is received. From the most aspiring artists a Girls' Octette was organ- ized, being composed of Thelma Meikle, Eula Blake, Ruth Par- rish, Marjorie Meikle, Elaine Meikle, Martha Thompson, Mar- purite Bladow, and Eula Parrish. The Glee Club and Octette made several public appearances at debates, contests, and chapel. As a crowning achievement the Operetta, Miss Cherry Blossom surpassed all previous performances.
