Boys’ Hi-Y Groups Strives for Christian Ideals eae: The Hi-Y is a brother organization of the Tri-Hi-Y. All sophomore, junior, and senior boys who are interested in bettering their characters are given an invitation to join the Hi-Y each year. The boys enjoyed many interesting activities. Two boys represented Bluffton at Camp Nelson Dodd in the summer. There, they learned about the prepara- tion of meetings and interesting programs, which they brought back for use in the club. Thorne Lauriat was chosen district chaplain. The club had various types of programs. They sponsored a school party and other social affairs. They presented the film: ‘Nature Had It First’’ for a school assembly. Some educational and enter- taining meetings were held, with guest speakers, films, and other types of programs. The Hi-Y has been working to gain in membership. It is hoped that boys in the future will give their best support i Thorne Lauriat to this worthwhile organization.
