R in lQz,4,,i,mf The Hi-Y was organized in 1923 by Mr. Forney from a group of teacher recommended students. Among these were Henry Funk, Roy Teutsch, Paul Mutzfeld, Huber Knisely. The initiations were rather rigorous at first. Later they eased up. Membership was then limited to the upper two classes and sophomores with high scholastic standing. In the fall of the same year the Blue Tri- angle Club was organized by the Misses Laura McBrien and Flossie Travis. This club has been known as the Blue Triangle, the Girl Reserves, until 1947 when under the sponsor- ship of Miss Allman it became the Tri-Hi-Y under the guidance of the Y. M. C. A. which also guides the Hi-Y. iii. w. The Hi-Y is an organization for high school boys which strives to promote Christian fel- lowship and Christ's way of living, The Y. M. C. A., well known Christian organization sponsors the Hi-Y. Membership in the club is sure to make a great impression on one's outlook towards life which marks a better so- ciety for the future. The ideals of the Hi-Y clubs are clearly portrayed by their purpose and platform mentioned in the article din Retrospect. Membership is open to all boys in the upper three years of high school, although sophomores must maintain a C average. There are several steps one must go through before he can become a part of this club. After applying for membership an application must be filled out and signed by the parents. A vote is then taken on each new candidate. If he is approved by the other members, he is initiated into the club. This year the Hi-Y met on the first Monday of each month. Everyone looked forward to these meetings with much enthusiasm because an interesting speaker was always part of the program. Our sponsor, Mr. Ashby, regularly furnished a lesson relating to the Book or a story of the Bible, which greatly increased our knowledge and understanding of the Scrip- tures. On some of the occasions of this year the Hi-Y joined with the Tri-Hi-Y. Some of these were the Christmas program, a Christmas party which included caroling and a program for the P. T. O. At this meeting the two clubs pre- sented an opening ritual and other interesting facts about the clubs--history, qualifications for membership and club projects. The chief project this year was the distribu- tion of programs at the home basketball games. The programs, furnished by Coca-Cola and financed by advertisements gained a consider- able for the treasury. 510.00 were donated to the board at Indianapolis towards the purchase of a portable organ. The last feature of the year is a joint picnic and meeting at Pokagon Park the last Monday of the school year. The officers this year are-Wayne Heffley, Pres., Jack Maxton, V. Pres., Jerry Beebe, Sec'y., Max Little, Treasurer, Don lmler, Chap- lain. 1.13,

R : A fa Influenced by a desire to con-- tinue the study of Latin outside the classroom, the Latin club was or- ganized in 1946, receiving its charter from the Junior Classical Ofalfin At different meetings during the year various contests were held, such as crossword puzzles in which the blanks had to be filled out with Latin words supplied from English League in 1948. It has now de- .17 4' meanings, English derivative con- veloped into an organization of about 40 members. The 1-Iodierni Romani fLatins or Romans of todayj held its meet- . Q if N9 tests in which we had to choose the derivatives for stated words from a long list that was supplied. The derivatives sometimes seemed 1 X X tt- J ing monthly throughout the year. It tried to study the ways of Roman life and the Latin language. But besides be- ing of academic value to the members it aids in cultivating a mutual interest in the study of Latin. The election of officers for the year was the principal activity at the first meeting. Anne Korsmeyer was elected president and Marlene Dpolittle vice-president. Neil Hankey was chosen as secretary-treasurer. Anne and Neil are seniors and Marlene a sophomore. The second meeting was rather a hilarious affair involving the initiation of the new mem- bers. This vigorous initiation was inflicted upon the newcomers by a very eager and willing group of older members. It consisted of some rituals and jokes, which had been preceded by requiring the new members to wear the cloth- ing of the other sex and wearing rattles around their necks. Top-Left: Rosella Baxter, Alice Dohner, Wilma Shultz, Larry Baron, Frances Kubik, Nancy Bright, initiates. Center: Anne Korsmeyer. Right: At a Latin Club party. Bottom-Left: Neil Hankey. Center-First row: Ros- ella Healy, Barbara Lung, Janice Hankey, Joyce Funk, Anne Korsmeyer, Helen Bacon, Sondra Sicard, Virginia Boyer, Joyce Blair, Second row: very far fetched. As usual the Latin Club held a Christmas Party with the exchange of gifts, grab bag style. However this grab bag style consisted of all of us being seated in rows, then a gift placed in the hands of the first person in each row. Music was played, and when the music stopped, the persons in whose hands the gifts were retained thegift. The constitution of the club requires the presentation of medals for outstanding scholar- ship in the two Latin classes each year. Last year, Carolyn Rensch and Marlene Doolittle won the prizes. This year, while it is a little early at the writing of this article to say exact- ly who will earn the medals, it seems that Marlene Doolittle will win the second year prize, and either Frances Kubic or Jewel Beebe will earn the first year prize. These prizes were first awarded in 1949. Wanda Brade, Wilma Shultz, Marlene Doolittle, Judy Parker, Nila Michael, Shirley Harris, Beth Hankey, Marilyn Darby, Lenore Ringenberg, Jewel Beebe, Mr. Ashby, Jackie Hamman.
