President First Semester At the outset of the school year our club consisted of about ten active members. The enrollment now is approximately seventy-five. This increase indicates that the students of our school are beginning to realize the value of being able to speak while on their feet. The student is aided in every day life by being able to express himself to those with whom he comes in contact. The meetings of the Central Lincoln Club were held, until late this winter, on Tuesday nights. However, this being an odd night, it was decided to hold the meetings on Wednesday, after class hours. The school immediately turned out to support it and the membership increased far beyond our expectations. Debates that were held during the school year at the general assemblies were received with applause from both students and instructors. These de- bates, besides being interesting, prove what can be done if the students will co-operate. The Lincoln Club owes its success to the faculty advisor, Mr. Milne, as it was really due to his efforts that the Club came through its darkest periods. He helped the debaters prepare their outlines and helped stage the trial in which he was the austere judge. Mr. Milne also conceived the plan of staging an intra-club debate that is still in progress. The Central Lincoln Club is ready to receive students who are willing to show that they can and will go through with duties assigned to them, if only given a chance, who look at our world as a body of truth and sincerity, and who desire to be able to defend their principles if called upon to do so.

Mr. Hadley was chosen as advisor. On October 9, an election of officers was held. Walter Otto was elected president, john Owen, Secretary, and Boles Gobczynski, chairman. The purpose of the Speakers Club is to teach the members through practice the art of being able to stand on their feet and speak in a clear and dignified manner. During the past year the Speakers Club has been one of the most active organizations in the School. Early in the semester two debating teams were organized to deliver a debate before the School. The purpose of this debate was to create an interest in debating, before the call for men for class teams was sent out. The subject of this debate was: Resolved, That Woodrow Wilson was a greater President than Theodore Roosevelt. The affirmative side of this question was taken by Walter Otto, Caps. Porter and Albert Lohse, who acted as alternative. The members of the negative team were Leonard Cireatwood, Gregory Varonis and Boles Gobczynski, alternative. At the beginning of the spring semester a new chairman was elected, Leonard Greatwood. The new chairman took up his duties immediately. ln March the Club gave a banquet in the School cafeteria. A fine program was arranged with Mr. H. L. Currie as the speaker of the day. He spoke on The History of lnterestf' His talk was very appropriate and instructive to members of the Club. The Speakers Club, although new in the School, has grown into one of the major organizations and has developed many students into good ma- terial for the inter-class debates. lts efforts have been recognized by the faculty of the School and accepted as a worthwhile activity.

S ecretary-Treasurer The purpose of the Hi-Y is to promote clean living, clean scholarship, clean sports, and clean speech in the student body and to maintain a helpful attitude toward all. The Club in its regular weekly meetings conducts discussions on selected topics of a social, political, and spiritual nature that are of great value to its members. These meetings afford the members an opportunity for the friendly discussion of topics that are of vital importance to our school and in our everyday life. Members take active part in the religious discussions regardless of their religious faith. The spiritual side being the most im- portant in the I-li-Y program, we have this year been discussing the lives of outstanding Bible characters, such as Peter, Paul, and others of like im- portance. Last November the Club gave a party to the faculty and students under the direction of our advisor, Mr. lVlacCuidwin. The program consisted of music, a mock trial, eats, and a good time for all. ln February we were represented by twelve of our members at the Annual I-li-Y Jamboree, held in our own Auditorium. This Jamboree featured snappy songs, peppy yells, and inspiring speeches by school leaders and outstanding athletes. Such are the history, purpose, and activities of the Hi-Y. We feel that it deserves the undivided support and wholehearted co-operation of the whole student body because no other club is trying to uphold the moral and spiritual standard of our school in a way that corresponds to the program carried out by the Hi-Y.
