Hide TROJAN Hi-T ELOITS HI-V CLUB, under the sponsorship of Mr. P. V. lines, has completed a highly satisfactory year.

Paul White........Howard Leslie Service Chairman....Howard Leslie.............Billy Pfautz Student Council.....Charles Pooler The first Hi-Y Club in this school was formed by Principal Owen in 1921 with a charter membership of twenty-seven. Each year since that time, Beloit has had a Hi-Y Club striving to uphold the Hi-Y purpose, to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. This year’s club was composed of forty-three members who proved to be a live bunch of boys. Several activities and enterprises were sponsored or participated in by the Beloit club during the past year. First, early in the fall, came the fall District Officer’s Training Conference, held at Glasco. The local club sent eight representatives: Howard Leslie, Henry Lins, Frank Jordan, Ralph Jordan, Kemper Murray, Dan Kelley. Boyd Finney and Paul Hodler. Along in the month of October was the annual Hi-Y watermelon feast, at which the boys devoured, dripped, squashed, mashed, ate. drank and other- by CYRUS LUMMIS wise annihilated some four hundred fifty pounds of Grays, Kleckleys and Watsons. The State Hi-Y Conference, held at Manhattan this year about the middle of December, was attended by Howard Leslie, Dan Kelley, Wilfred Beardmore, Frank Jordan, Haldon Howse, Tom Fmmot and Dwight Finney. January 21. a father and son party was held in the gymnasium with most of the members taking part. Games furnished entertainment for the evening, which ended as any stag party should—with refreshments. The first week of April witnessed the playing of a Hi-Y basketball tournament with five teams entered. The round robin system of play was used. The night of April 1 is memorable for the allschool carnival. The Hi-Y club constructed and operated one of the booths, namely, the fun house. Truly it was a weird and horrible arrangement which furnished plenty of entertainment. The election of new officers was held on April 8, giving time for the installation of the new officers before the spring Officer’s Tiaining Conference at Mankato on April 18. Five of the new cabinet members. Billy Pfautz, Charles Johnson, Harold Merecr, Gerald Humes and Roscoe Miles, attended from Beloit. The closing events in which the club participated are a G. R. and Hi-Y picnic and a Hi-Y overnight hike. As we look back, it hasn’t been such a depressing year after all. We’ve had a fine club with the help of Mr. lines, and we’ve really something to show for the year. May, 1932 Page Seventeen

The general secretary talked on the deplorable morals of the youth in their early teens. She discoursed on the shocking tendency toward headstrong and willful young people made the secretary propose a cure for all the evils, with which young people are afflicted. Several of the other women gave their opinions on youth. They hoped to keep their girls extremely modest and safeguard their morals. The women decided that the best thing to do was tc take the girls into their club and sec that they were well supervised. One of the women suggested that the girls form a separate club which would be sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. This club was formed and named the Girl Reserves, and since that year it has kept its name. This year, the girls in Kansas celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the club. Six girls from our school represented Beloit at a Conference at Concordia. October 30-November 1. They were Mary Agnes Hicks, Elma Babbit, Mildred Armour, Dorothy McCall. Helen McGrath and Wilma Reese Miss Mildred Guard, who is the G. R. sponsor this year, led the singing for this conference. Miss Elsie Suit, State Secretary of the Kansas District Y. W. C. A., visited our Girl Reserve this year and talked with the girls about the things they were accomplishing in programs and outside activities. Miss Suit had luncheon with the cabinet members and talked with each member of the cabinet individually. One of the chief accomplishments of this year was the Girl Reserve Rest Room. This room was furnished by the girls of the club. The work ot furnishing it was supervised by Helen McGrath. Bright colored cretonne covers the windows and the furniture, by making curtain rods and a book case. Another new achievement in the club was the choir. 'I'he girls in the choir were chosen and directed by Dorothy McCall and accompanied by Merle Witham. The choir sang on several church programs during the school year. Mrs. Frank Lutz entertained the cabinet members and their sponsors at a tea at her home. A Mother and Daughter banquet was held on February 17. at the Christian church. Each member of the Girl Reserve club pledges herself to Find and Give the Best, she Faces Life Squarely, and defends the Girl Reserve code. Page Sixteen May, IQ32
