MID-CENTRAL HI-Y OUNDED three years ago, the organization of this Hi-Y group closely parallels that of its brother club, the Central Hi-Y. The Mid-Central Hi-Y club was originally organized to accommodate increased interest in Hi-Y work. Every fall the club adopts some school service plan. This fall the members published and distributed the football score cards. Attractive programs are featured at the regular Wednesday evening meetings, and talks on athletics, colleges, vocations, and parliamentary law are especially popular. Any boy student at Central is eligible to be voted upon for admission in the club: however, the club endeavors to keep the membership at approximately thirty. The regular meeting place is the Midway branch of the Y. M. C. A. So- cial activities have been many, including pow-wows, bean feeds, and similar amusements. The Christmas season was enlivened by a gay dance held at the Commodore Hotel. The elections are bi-annual. Alex Polanek, Thomas Haywood, Mark Gehan, an-d Iohn Shannon presided in the fall. Until Iune the executive officers will be Dean Carlstrom, president, Thomas Haywood, vice-president, Walter Hammond, secretary: and Iohn Shannon, treasurer. Paqe 71 f 3-- li'

CENTRAL HI-Y POPULAR and active club, the Central Hi-Y, embodies worthy ideals and the spirit of good fellowship. The club was formed to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character through- out the school and community. Any boy attending Central is eligible for membership. Election into the club is followed by a formal an-d informal initiation. With the exception of pow-Wows and banquets, most of the programs are held at the Central Y. M. C. A. every Wednesday night. These Wednesday night meetings usually feature some interesting speaker. Last fall the organization heard Dr. Madison, Harold Lavayder, lawyer, Gabby Street, sportsrnan, Lou McKenna and Gordon Gilmore, sport writers. ln November our Central Hi-Y was well represented at the Red Wing Hi-Y convention, of which Harold Ponthan was president. Parr of the late fall program was planning the yearly Christmas party for underprivileged boys at the Neighborhood House. Harold Ponthan holds the office of president this year. Other officers are Glen Powrie, vice-president: Malcolm Sanford, secretary, and James Meier, treasurer. Fred Shoemaker advises the group. r' 5 x Z Page 70 F I'

Tl-IUMB TACKS VERY other Wednesday the Thumb Tacks meet in 3l9. lt is an organi- zation Which concerns itself chiefly with the lighter side of art. This year the Thumb Tacks crashed a meeting of the Spectrum art club at Iohnson High School where they participated in a chalk talk contest. Members of the Thumb Tacks are chosen from the outstanding students in the art classes. lt is in recognition of one's talent in the field of art. Those attractive posters one sees about the school advertising the CEHISEAN, class meetings, and so forth, were designed by the clever Thumb Tacks. This gives them an opportunity to ply their trade and also to help the school. Once again the year passed Without the traditional sleigh-ri-de party they never have. Each member is required to make two posters a year. The Thumb Tacks also dec- orated the stage settings for the Dramatic Club play. lnstead of adhering to the usual titles accorded officers of a club, the Thumb Tacks have titles appropriate to the organization. This year the Chief Tack is Sidney Frank: Little Tack, Daniel Lawler, Keeper of the Tacks, Daniel Lambert: Tacks Collector, Clifford Goebel: Program Chairman, Iames Kotheg Publicity Chairman, Virginia Hoffstrom. Miss Minette Paro is the adviser. Page 72 eum First row: Maxine Hanzalik, Clif-
