555:-.::i5:s :slam . Q me ' 'ffl The Hi-Y Club f The Hi-Y Club of the Port Wayne High School was organized three years ago. It is a club of junior and senior boys sponsored by the high school and carried on through the Y. M. C. A. During the past four years it has steadily improved until today it is one of the best clubs in the Fort Wayne High School. The purpose of the organization is to create and maintain throughout the school and community high' standards of Christian character . Mr. Fred H. Croninger, the faculty adviser, leads the discussions, and Mr. 0. M. Brunson, the secretary of the boys' work department, leads the Bible studies. Nleetings are held every Thursday night in the banquet room of the Y. M. C. A. After the supper the regular business is held, followed by one of four kinds of programs, a discussion led by lVlr. Brunson, a special speaker or a social function. The Mother and Son Banquet was held with the South Side Hi-Y Club at the South Side High School cafeteria. Mrs. Agnew was toastmistress. Dur- ing the evening several very good talks and musical numbers were enjoyed. The Father and Son Banquet was also held with the South Side Hi-Y Club in the Y. M. C. A. banquet room. Mr. Agnew as toastmaster very clev- erly introduced the speakers of whom Rev. Sunderman gave the main address. followed by several selections by the South Side faculty quartette. The faculty banquet was certainly a success. The teachers forgot for two hours that they ever were teachers. The program was featured by a debate between the faculty of the two schools on the question, Resolved, That girls are worse than boys . The last event was the letter men's banquet, which was held at the Y. M. C. A., and thoroughly enjoyed by all of our athletes. All of the ladies' nights were attended by a lot of hilarious boys and girls looking for a good time. And a good time they certainly had. The Hallowe'en party was a huge success. The games in the gym were full of pep and fun The chamber of horrors which followed was the spookiest and the most scarey one yet. After this, line eats were served in the cafeteria. The Christmas party was a little more dignified but no less joyful. In the lobby, which was appropriately decorated, were held many novel games and stunts. Toward the end Santa Claus came and gave everyone a gift. The Saint Patrick's banquet was held at the South Side cafeteria. Mary Forker. from the South Side High School. was toastmistress. and Ruth Wagner, Elmer Knatz, Paul Oliver and James Lipkey each gave short talks. The season was ended by a fine picnic at Gloyd's Mill at Cedar Creek. Page Ninety- Hue m .,...w.5ljfyj..,,m,g.... . ..-is

Friendship Club This year was started with the same old pep, enthusiasm and spirit that the club has evinced for the past seven years of its existence. The Friendship Club was organized in l9l6 under the leadership of Miss Wingert and Miss Harrah with a three-fold purpose in view: l. To create a friendly spirit among high school girls. 2. To encourage habits of helpfulness. 3. To develop growth in Christian character. This year's programs have been snappier and more interesting and the service work has been carried out more extensively and genuinely than ever before. The outstanding features of the year N322-1923 were: The Halloween party given by the So-Si-Y. at Lavon Fletchers lt was a very spooky affair, yet it was immensely enjoyed by all present. The Pirate party. at which the Friendship Club acted as hostess to the So-Si-Y: where all came attired as ferocious pirates. The Faculty Tea, at which living portraits were a main feature, was a very delightful affair which accentuated the feeling of fellowship between teachers and students. The annual May Day Breakfast need hardly be mentioned. Between terms a very large banquet. at which Ethel Masterson was toast-mistress. was given at the South Side cafeteria by the four clubs of the High School Girl Reserves, ln May the Mother and Daughter Banquet proved to be an exceedingly delightful affair. The annual picnic marked the close of the year. The service committee worked very hard to accomplish more than was ever accomplished before. lt was this committee that planned the jolly Christ- mas party for the children and took Easter eggs and scrap books to the Pixley Relief Home, where they entertained the children for the afternoon with games and songs. Easter Sunday the girls visited the wards of the hospitals and gave each person a daffodil as a token of the remembrance of the Easter spirit. The programs at the regular meetings were planned so that the meetings would be alternately serious or light. Occasionally very interesting discussions were held. It is hoped that Friendship Club will continue the good work it has set out to do. The one prudence in life is concentralion.-EMERSON. lt was an idea that fed the stalwart faith of Columbus: an idea that taught the observant Watt the power of the steaming kettle: an idea that shot through Franklin's kite cord. Ideas have been the foundation of every achievement that has gone down in history. Ideas are a measure of your possibilities. There are no limitations: from a ten dollar idea, to a fifty thousand dollar-the choice is yours. Page Ninety-seven
