Doi Hi-Y Boys Show Initiative The Hi-Y Club of 1941-42 had the largest membership since it was organized. It opened its year of service by sending school busses to the basketball games, a service which was discontinued when the tire shortage prevented. At Christmas time the Club collected and donated baskets of groceries and toys to several needy families of the city. The Hi-Y members also purchased a Tuberculosis Bond. In conjunction with the Girl Reserves they purchased and presented enough United States flags that each room might display the colors of our nation. Through the sale of paper and old metal they started a fund for purchasing a Savings Bond. The year was closed with the Best-Girl Banquet held at the Baptist Church. As in previous years this banquet was a highlight in the social life of the school. Twenty-two

Extra! Extra! Just the Comet vendors passing through the halls of B. H. S. Six big issues were published the first semester, the most outstanding being the Christmas edition. An added feature this year was the Scholastic Roto, a brown section included with each issue. Leaders on the staff of the Comet for the year 1941-42 were Pat Davison as editor- in-chief — Connie Clowser as business manager — and Harriett Brown as advertising soli- citor. The Press Club was organized to help with the news coverage. The paper was printed by the boys in the print shop under the supervision of Mr. Templin. Mr. McNown was faculty adviser and sponsor for both the paper and the club. Seated: Joan McBride, Patty Davison. Agnes Mailer. Standing: Dot Louden, Kay Conner, Pat Smith, Mr. McNown. Twenty-one

Joan Farrell. The Girl Reserves are always ready for service. This year they gained thirty new members. The informal initiation of the new reserves featured little-girl dresses and pinned-up hair. The programs for the year were of unusual interest . Mrs. M. S. Smith, Miss Hew- itt, the sponsor of the Girl Reserve Club, and Mrs. Harold Venis presented talks on sub- jects of unusual interest. The Junior girls, the Senior boys ' tumbling team, the Sym- phonettes, and the Sophomores each entertained with programs. On December 22, the members entertained their boy friends at a Good Fellowship ' Banquet at the First Reformed Church. The scene for the banquet was a night club, complete with artistically designed murals and appropriate center pieces on the tables. They made their mothers happy at their annual Mother-Daughter Banquet on May 8, which was a very pretty and entertaining affair. Thus ended a very full and profitable year in the annals of Girl Reserve history. Twenty-three
