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.

Sapfzamafze JH- W At the first meeting of the Sophomore Hi-Y in September, the mem- bers got acquainted with each other and decided to get Don Hair for advisor. The next meeting was chosen as election day. Paul Summers was elected president, and the other officers elected were loe Donnells, vice president, and Fred Miller, secretary-treasurer. During the year Don Hair resigned as advisor because of the basketball practice in the evening. Mr. C. X. Heinlen acted as advisor for the rest of the year. Every Monday night was also made official meeting time for the club. Many important meetings, lectures, and parties highlighted the year's activities. A hayride to Lake Caldwell and a Spring Party were given by the club, and the members turned out in full force for these. A football dance was also sponsored by the club at Central Gym.

At these meetings outside speakers were present Mr I A Smith spoke Th on e High Points in Lincoln's Life, Mr. Herman Hildner gave a talk on Howl to Win Friends, and Reverend Henry H.

Marilyn Carter's group won first prize and Patricia Stanton's second. Patty Skinner was awarded the prize for the most orig- inal costume. Refreshments were served while the members danced. At one of the meetings, several films were shown including, Tom Brown's School Days. This group also sponsored at the Central gym the dance following the Washington C.

Highlighting the Christmas activities this year was a party at the Y home for underpriv- ileged children. The Salvation Army cooperated in the arrangements for this occasion. The com- mittee for refreshments included Terry Vincent, Eleanor Hatmacher, and Peggy Vincent. The en- tertainment under the direction of Sara Burlile consisted of a tap dance by Earlene Yarrington, a piano solo by Patricia Stanton, and a vocal solo by Mary lane Kelly. Songs were sung by the children, and the members distributed gifts among them. On Ianuary l6, Mrs. l. H. Randall, a returned missionary and educator from India, gave an interesting talk on Indian children, their habits, and customs. She was presented with a small gift by the group in appreciation for her interesting discussion. With a year so full of enjoyable activities, the Sophomore Tri-Hi-Y is looking forward to an- other year in Y work.
