S ecretary This organization was formerly known as the Leadership Club. It has gradually but surely spread throughout the School that spirit of Christian service which actuated its founders, and is today an integral part of so many worthy organizations. The membership comprises a band of Chris- tian young men, among whom are an ample proportion of the School's lead- ers pledged to the principle, To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. This spirit and principle the members have endeavored to maintain not only in the School, but on the outside as well. Meetings are held every Wednesday at noon in the cafeteria, and are given over to the discussion of worth while subjects. The activities for the year have consisted of two receptions for the Freshmen, the Father and Son Banquet, given in co-operation with the Evening Hi-Y, participation in the Hi-Y jamboreegla report to the student body of the Hi-Y conference at Galesburgg a theater party, and initiation of new members. May these high ideals become the possessions of our successors, and impel them to greater achievements in their efforts toward their attain ment. ANTHONY LANDGRAF -I X ,' AX' ta Y . . -EU? ' yg :.

Secretary-Treasurer Clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, clean habits. The four C's have been the platform of the Hi-Y Club since the first day, it was organized. With these four principles as ideals, all of the members have endeavored to perform their daily duties and pursue their studies as well as take needed recreation. up The Hi-Y Club is a world-wide organization. Most high schools have one. If you are a constant reader of the Wake in the Tribune, you have read some of the wonderful work that this organization of a particular high school is doing. I am quoting a few lines that the Wake emphasized: The H1 Y is not a 'dead one'g meetings are not 'preachy' occasions. It also makes the assertion that every student who aspires to school honors, either in athletics, class oiiices, school publications or social activities, will find lt necessary to be identified with the work of the Hi-Y. Why does Mr. Woodruif make this assertion? Because of the principles of the Hi-Y. Central Hi-Y has not been, and will not be a dead one, as evidenced by the following activities: A Freshman reception, theatre parties, speeches by prominent men, participation in older boys' conferences, and week end trips to the Dunes Lastly, but not least important, personal problems are answered and discussed by our adult leader.

Secretary-Treasurer The Central Lincoln Club was organized in September, 1922, for the purpose of giving to the students of Central Preparatory School a chance to know and develop their latent powers through the medium of public speaking and argumentation, and to help members acquire that forceful and convincing manner of speech that is such a great asset in smoothing out the rough highways of life. The need for a club of this kind was long felt and the new organization was welcomed by students and faculty alike. Since its organization it has grown to be the largest and strongest club in the school. ' The club owes a large measure of its success to the co-operation of its faculty advisor, Mr. Leverton, who has been more than merely an advisor. At the beginning of the present school year, Mr. Leverton gave a series of six lectures on the principles of public speaking and debating, which have been a great help to the members. Members of the Lincoln Club look out to the world as a great center of industry and politics, and believe that success depends upon the ability to put ambition, talents, and ideas into effect through a knowledge of the Eng- lish language and human nature, together with the power of forceful, convincing speech.
