Bozetti The l-li -Y ln this day and age, when communism is persistently knocking at our back door while atheism slowly mounts the steps of our back porch, there is a great need of serious-minded youth who believe firmly in the high standards of Christian living. Entering the threshold of manhood so equipped, they will be able to bring this crazed world back to its senses, stop the Hendish intrigues of the war lords, uproot atheism, and blot out communism. That such is the purpose of the Hi-Y organization is shown by its slogan to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. ln addition it promotes clean scholarship, clean sportsmanship, clean speech, and clean living. Sponsored by Mr. Fortney, the club carried on its fifteenth year of active work in C. T. H. S. with Jack Elliott, president, Robert Root, vice-president, Walter Wehmer, secretary. To foster the church-going habit among the members, the organization attended various churches of the city. This club was responsible for the creation of the second- hand book store which operates annually rendering a most valuable service to the student body. The club was host to Salem and Nashville in the annual council meeting where the officers of the surrounding clubs discuss various phases of Hi-Y work. An-nually the organization invites each boy of Southern Illinois to attend an Older Boys, Conference. Those who can arrange to go enjoy to the n'th degree the talks and discussions on current world problems. Possible solutions contributed by alert fellows often incite the whole group to make a pledge or to take immediate action. Believing that an all work and no play schedule is to be avoided, the officers arranged a series of social meetings including a date party and a pot-luck supper. Delegates are sent by the local club to Camp Seymour each summer. At these camps boys from many schools get together for a week of outdoor fun and inspirational talks by the greatest youth leaders in the country. Tufeniy-nine

Dramatic One can readily understand the great size and activity of the Dramatic Club if he will only stop to consider how eager high school boys and girls are to have some part in the production of plays. ln this club the 'programs were intended to be educational as well as entertaining. Plays, talks, imitations, impromptu acting, and musical numbers all found a place on the program. In this way provision was made for many persons to appear before an audience. To satisfy the desire of many of the members to know something about the art, Miss Berry agreed to conduct a weekly class in the fundamentals of theatrical make-up. A dramatic sketch, Those Immortal Lovers, starred Dorothy Jane Wilson, Darda Pfaff, Kitty June Osborne, Keith Drury, and Joe Kimball. It made quite a hit with the members at one meeting. In a five cent assembly, two other one-act plays were given by the club. One featured Lucy Lee Mallory as Winona with Keith Drury taking the part of Maurice, a conceited boy friend who had just returned to the home town. His overbearing attitude netted him nothing but a stream of No,s!', from Winona. Following a short musical interlude, the curtains rose on the cozy scene of Ma and Pa McNabes' little country cottage. Robert E. Wilson made an excellent old man with his stooped walk and long whiskers. Cynthia QBarbara Willoughbyj just couldn't understand why Jimmy Qllrederick Meyerj wanted his stuffed animals hung all over their little home but Nancy Warren as Ma used her ingenuity to settle the dispute. With the proceeds from this program, the club charted a bus for a trip to Saint Louis where they saw Walter Hampton in his last performance of the famous French play, Cyrano de Bergerac. The club was sponsored by Miss Harris and Miss Berry. The officers elected were: Lucy Lee Mallory, president, Lovell Gaston, vice-president, Vernetta Gerrard, secre- tary, June Jones, treasurer.

Home Economics The Home Economics Club was organized for girls who are interested in home- making and domestic arts. All the members are enrolled in foods, clothing, or home economics HI classes. At the beginning of the year, the club, like all Gaul, was divided into three parts. In one of these were those girls taking foods, in another were all those who were taking clothing, and in the third, those taking home economics III. These groups, then, in turn, took charge of the programs which were held every other Tuesday at three-thirty in the cafeteria. During the first semester the following officers were elected: Esther Loucks, president, Claudine Webb, vice-president, and Madeline Schnake, secretary-treasurer. At the beginning of the second semester, Bernice Fricke was elected president and Bernice Wellpott, vice-president. The programs consisted of various demonstrations, reports and parties for special occasions, allowing the foods group to carry out ideas in planning and preparing refresh- ments for parties, thus receiving more experience, plays were given and clever games played. One especially interesting program was a demonstration of the proper use of make-up and the correct way of giving facials. The girls profited by this information by showing improvement in their personal appearance. The clothing group very cleverly proved that history repeats itself in styles, comparing those of yesterday and today. The club was shown the dresses worn from the time of their grandmothers up to the 'present time. Girls talked on the importance of personal cleanliness and many useful little things which should be done to make a person have real charm. Incidents were brought out in a most entertaining fashion to show proper and improper etiquette, dress, hair styles, and posture. We have often heard the old saying, Beauty is as beauty does. In all things we undertake to do, personality and character make up a major part of our success, so let us remember that politeness costs nothing and gains everything. The small cour- tesies lead to the big things in life. Tbirly
