unmfa-Senna fbfzcunaizal The lunior-Senior Dramatics Class organized under the direction of Mr. Charles Duncan spent the first few class meetings outlining their year's work. Skits prepared beforehand were given as examples so that they might serve as a criterion for the study procedure. ln this class of fifty students the development of the plan began with work on monologues and duologues. With advancement the students began the study of one act plays. The first work presented by members of this class to the public consisted of skits from well known plays. The following are the plays from which excerpts were taken: Ah Wilder- ness, Golden Boy, Stage Door, White Oaks, The Man VV'ho Came to Dinner. During the second semester a varied program was given for a Masonic meeting. ln- cluded in the presentations were monologues from The Corn is Green, Stage Door, VV'hite Oaks, The Man Who Came to Dinner, A Career on the Stage, Rebeccag duo- logues from Come Rain or Shine, Ah Wilderness and Golden Boy : and a Bowery scene. Members from this class were chosen to participate in the assemblies.

qw Ji-W During the last week of September, it was announced that there would be a Freshman Hi-Y Club if there were enough boys interested in organizing one. Dick Strausbaugh would serve as the club advisor. Unfortunately very few boys showed up for the first meeting. Most of those that came were members of the Mt. Logan K-Y Club, the preceding year. A membership committee composed of Paul Meyer, Chuck Whitt, and lohn Webb made posters to encourage other boys in joining the club. The committee did an excellent job and our membership increased. After organized meetings were begun and the members were well acquainted with one ane other, officers were elected. Iohn Webb was elected president, Edward Bunstine was elected vice- president, and Charles Frey was elected secretary. George Stewart was elected treasurer, but Glenn Lovensheimer was appointed to the office when the former treasurer moved away. Paul Meyer was elected as representative to the Ross County Hi-Y Council. The committees organized for different purposes were: Publicity: Benjamin Mead, Raymond Stark, and the presidenty Membership: Chuck Whitt, Paul Meyer, and the president: Entertain- mentg Edward Bunstine, Donald McGee, and the president. The club had a Halloween party on the 'Wednesday before Halloween. At one of the March meetings held at Richard Strausbaughs home, the boys heard Betty and Benny Fox tell about their experience doing the Dance of Death on the one-hundred twenty-five foot high pole. The club advisor, Dick Strausbaugh, was graduated from Chillicothe High School in l91l5. He has been associated with the Y. M. C. A. tor four years. He proved an excellent and a well liked advisor by all ot the boys. Qwwmm 7fiz-J!z- W Sixty-eight members of the class of l95O formed this year's Freshman Tri-Hi-Y. Peggy Acord was elected to the awe-inspiring post of president, and Ioan Mcftugh, Diane Harker, and Janet Friend were chosen to assist her as vice president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. The procedure followed at each meeting was somewhat as follows: first, the singing of America by the group, and second, the giving of the pledges to the American and Christian flags: these prelirninaries were followed by the usual business meeting during which first the old, and then the new business was discussed, and the proposal of new protects concerning the Y.M.C.A. and its surroundings were made. Finally, the meetings, which varied from one to one and one-half hours in length, were closed by a motion to that effect. ln the positions of advisors were Miss Brock, our physical education instructor, Mrs. Basil Wells, and Mrs. E. B. Brundige. Their helpful guidance and leadership added much to the mem- bers' enjoyment of the meetings. Two main projects kept this club busy. A Thanksgiving basket was presented to the Chil- dren's Home last fall. The club's other good deed, which was accomplished in cooperation with the Freshman Hi-Y, was a rummage sale. It was held December 14 at the Methodist clubhouse. On the agenda of social activities this club was able to list a Halloween party, a skating party at Christmas time, and a Valentines Day party. Each of these entertaining functions was attended by a large crowd.
