68 THE EPITOME Hi-Y' Club P7'6'Sidl771f--XVARREN Hess Vicc-President--PAUL Hass Secretary-HowARD I'IARTX-IAN T7'CG.YIH'C'1'-XIYERNE Swormz Clmplain-join: SCIIMUCKER During the past term the Hi-Y Club has enjoyed an unequalled success. This success has not only been confined to one branch of work, but to many. The Club has put the Hi-Y slogan, Clean Speech, Clean Living, Clean Athletics, Clean Scholarship, on a high plane by givng each one of them a part in every program. The programs which met with the greatest approval consisted of Open Forum discussions on various perplexing problems, led by the individual members of the Club. Not only did the members gain a great deal of knowledge through these programs, but they also became more accustomed to speaking in public. The social and recreational parts of the program were in no way overlooked. The annual I-lallowe'en party, which was held at Earlville, was a very great suc- cess, and so were the entertaining features which were offered at the close of each regular meeting. A basket ball team :ind a volley ball team have been successfully organized, and plans are under way for the organization of other teams. To the members of the Class of 1927 the Hi-Y Club extends its best wishes for their future success in whatever lines of endeavor they may pursue. Our comrades from ,27 Feb. have done much to make the Club a success, and it is with deepest regret that we see them leave our ranks. However, we also extend to them an earnest invitation to continue their interest in Hi-Y work and our Club and to attend the meetings whenever possible. I

THE EPITOME 67 Zelosophic Literary Society A P7'C.S l'd67Lf-SYDNEY S. ABELS I!iC9-P1'8S'id81'lf-HARRY XVEIL Treasurer-FRED. M. MILLER 5'ecrez'ary-BEN CLODER Reporter-ToM REEDY The Zelos have just completed an unusually successful year from the stand- point of both attendance and program presentation. The school term was started with an enrollment of 'four fellows, remaining from the previous year. At the present time our books carry a membership of sixty. Our attendance at each meeting averages forty-five. There must be a reason for such a remarkable im- provement. There is. The Program Committee has presented many unique programs, profuse with humor as well as gravity. Several of the programs have been the talk of the school, including our famous Liars' Contest and our Baby Day. The Zelo Bulletin Board, conducted by the Program Committee, has always been a source both of amusement and- interest. The sincere co-operation of every Zelo has made a rapid stride in reputation possible. The billing of a member on the program indicated that the member would be present, and would not, as of old, seek the shelter of his proctor room on the hectic day. The Zelos have given attention to all fields of literary work, excluding pos- sibly the drama. We, however, anticipate a play to be presented early next term. Debating, declamations, extemporaneous speeches, dialogue and story-telling have been presented before the club members. It was truly an amazingly successful session, contrasted with the showing of the previous years. Much credit it due to Mr. Fink, head of the English Department, who is our faculty advisor. His interesting talks were always thoroughly enjoyed by the club. The Zelos are but waiting the on coming term to even surpass their envious record.

THE EPITOME 69 p Camera Club P1'8.Vld01lf-ALLEN KLOPP St?CI'EfCU'j'-vVILI.IA1KI BALL Vice-President'-jonN HEFFLEGER T7'60Slt7'E7'-EUGENE Kisrnk NVell, fellows, here we are again with another successful season tucked under our belts. Our membership is not what would be classed as fabulously large, but it is growing each year, as the under-classmen realize the advantages which this organization affords. Thanks to our faithful and energetic officers, the club has been steadily ad- vancing in quantity and quality, but the quantity is not the headliner in the advanc- ing list. Draw your own conclusions. You know the old saying, Quality, not quantity. Say, fellows, while we are on the subject: Do you realize that you can follow our programs by reading the announcements and observing the pictures posted in our bulletin board? VVhat? Yes, we have one. NVe shouldn't be surprised if many of the students were like you and never knew it to exist. It wouldn't be a bad idea if you and the rest of the fellows would slow up in your rush to classes. A glance at the board now and then wonit interfere with your studies in the least. In fact, it may improve them, as it may persuade you that the Camera Club is worthy of your membership. It is a mighty good club, which we think you would like immensely. W'e have very interesting meetings, due to the arguments, debates and stunts which the members exhibit there. These meetings are both entertaining and educational, and improving continually as the interest of the members increases. You could help! XVhy don't you? Wie expect even a better season next year, although, we are sorry to say, we are losing some of our members by graduation. Wfell, that cannot be helped, and we wish these members every success in the future.
