I-Ii-Y Club The organization of the Hi-Y club took place in Blume High School in January, 1924. The first Hi-Y club was started in the United States in 1870. Every club is affiliated with State, National and International organizations. Every member must be willing to take as his purpose to create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character, and take his stand on the Hi-Y Platform, namely: Clean Speech, Clean Living, Clean Sportsmanship and Clean Scholarship. The officers of this club for this year are as follows: president, Winifred Harsh- barger, vice president, Bus Chesbrough: secretary, Bob Kettering: and treasurer, Russel Shlanuon. ' The membership is open to upper-classmen Whose scholarships are equal to athletic eligibility or better, land who successfulllygpass the examinations for entrance. Hi-Y conferences are held in which the members get together and discuss prob- lems which are important to boys. Many people do not realize how much influence .a club, made up of a group oi boys who must have, certain standards, caan have -on the school and c-ommunity. Every one should help keep up these worthy ideals and strive to haave the whole school adopt them in order to put everyone on an equality. The officers, committees, and advisers of the club have much to do with the development of the best in each boy. This organization has accomplished many fine things in the past and are con- tinuing their good Work, It is at this time under the splendid leadership of Mr. Bush and Mr. Steiner. 451010101014 2010101 aio: 31111: 1 :ui -1 1 11111 1 111 111 1 1- iszwiniuxoil ozo ! 1 I u E i i !

Member of cast not pictured-Gertrude Lyman. A The situation of the play all revolves around the purchase of Ia nut farm in order to get away from California. Willie Barton, James Telljohn, hears. that his sister, Helen Bent, Donna Metzger, has been influenced by a scenario writer, Clarice Bidde- ford, prayed by Mary Ann Shaw and Hamilton T. Holland, Ned Dingler, to try and persuade Bob Bent, Paul Jacobs, to let her make a moving picture with Bob'si money. He tells his mother, Mrs. Barton, Ruth Clapp, about it and they both are quite ex- cited when Bob consents to make the picture which they know is a fraud, All the 'while Hilda. the maid, Gertrude Lyman, plays her part unconcerned with what is happening. Willie, after Holland said thlat he could direct the picture, at first refused and then accepted in an effort to make Bob withdraw his money. Some of the parts get turned around until the play is not a tragedy when Van I-I-orton, Bruce Miller, who is the hero of the movie, kills Helen, of course only in the play part. Everything goes wrong and Bob loses his money: so it seems. After the picture was made, Bob and Mrs. Barton are quite upset-Willie has gone and finally Ezra Sliscombe, Don Davis, the yanky farmer, announces that his daughter, Agatha, Emily Swink, is gone and that Willie must be responsible, for he has fallen. in love with her. They decide to go back to Newark because of the lack of money when Miss Biddeford comes to Bob, offers him 955,000 for his share of the picture. This astonishes Bob very much and he is about to sign the contract when Holland rushes in to offer Bob 310,000 for his share. It all leads up to a climax when Willie steps in and makes his announcements. He had turned the movie into a comedy, bought Holland's rights, had a check for eighty thousand dollars for Bob, had a contract for himself with Mack Sennet, and had married Agatha. , - So the Bents bought the nut farm after all! ! 0:4 o 1 Q ! ! ! 1 E n I !
