The Tri-Hi-Y was first organized in Coeburn High School in 1956 under the sponsorship of Miss Dorothy Jessee. Since that time it has be- come one of the bigger and more active clubs of the school. Our club ' s membership, con- sisting of 46 affiliated members, is the largest since its organization. The club ' s name was recently changed to the Carl R. McConnell Tri-Hi-Y in memory of our late principal. The Tri-Hi-Y is mainly a religious club, but its members have their light moments as well as their solemn ones. Our main objectives in the club are for the betterment of the home, school, and com- munity and the sprea ding of Christian spirit everywhere. Car R.
