The 25 members of the Hi-Y come from the upper three classes of high school and with the help of their sponsor, Mr. Ashby, have formed one of the merriest clubs in Butler High School history. The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to cre- ate, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The elected officers are: Bill Hathaway, Pres- ident, Wayne Heffley, Vice-President, Sidney Long, Secretary, Freddie Ferrah, Treasurer, Duard Bellamy, Sergeant-at-Arms, and Glen Newcomer, Chaplain. The first meeting was held about a month behind schedule, but that just made the club work harder to make up for lost time. The Hi-Y was responsible for, the distribution of programs at ball games, which was an aid to spectators. At Christmas the Hi-Y joined the Tri-Hi-Y for a joint party and a grab-bag. All of the Tri- Hi-Y girls were entertained by the boys' amus- ing attempts to climb into girls' clothes in order that their side might win a prize. This was just one of the numerous get togethers enjoyed by the club. ,26- First row: Sidney Long, William Hathaway, Wayne Heffley, Freddie F errah Second row: Glen Newcomer, Mr. Ashby, Duard Bellamy Lower: Line-up for refreshments, Christmas Party HI

QIOQIWQ tid While Strolling Through the Park One Day was the setting for the Gay Nineties Fol- lies presented by the Butler High School Chorus on the evening of May 12th. Departing from the usual one-plot operetta this production featured several acts, all in the tradition of the nineties. The costumes added much to the general atmo- sphere of gaiety. Familiar musical favorites such as,, 'Tm Sorry Dearv, The Band Played On , The Man on the Flying Trapezen, Coney Island Babe , Bicycle Built for Two , and many others were heard throughout the program. Spe- cial groups featured were a mixed quartette, girls' trio and several solos. Among the last were When You Were Sweet Sixteen , Daisies Won't Tell , and Peggy O'Neil . Performance in a program of this type was a new experience to most of the members of the chorus. It proved to be very interesting and en- tertaining. As the first curtain opens, two disconsolate young men, Casey and Pat, are found sitting on a park bench bemoaning the fact that they can- not enter the local barbershop quartette contest because unfortunately they lack two tenors to complete the ensemble. They decide to adver- tise for two accomplished wingers with high vocal range . Their surprise is understandable when two charming young ladies answer the ad- vertisement, and even more surprising is the fact that these four aspiring singers convince the con- test judges that barbershop quartettes need not be strictly all male organizations. All ends hap- pily as the foursome wins the contest and decide to continue the harmonious association. We regret that on account of the illness of the director the operetta could not be given this year. It is promised for next fall.
