A new policy of admission and a new faculty advisor headline the Hi-Y news of 1939-40. New members could be taken into the organization if and when a majority of the old members gave a favorable vote. Due to the departure of Mr. Fell, the former Hi-Y sponsor, Mr. Amos Snide was assigned to the club as faculty representative and has really been one of the crowd all year. The membership this year included 23 Senior and Junior boys. New members initiated during the first month of school. The terrors of initiation were chiefly in the drinking of a potion of alum water colored with soda pop. The original Hi-Y was a Cleveland High School organization founded in connection with the Y. M. C. A. of that city. Its principal purpose is friendship and fellowship for High School boys. The Crooks-ville chapter divides its attention about equally between service to the school and fun for the members. Meetings this year were held twice monthly, one on school time and one in the evening. Committees were appointed for all activities. The committees of the club that had been selected to decide upon an agreeable point for a trip chose a day’s visit to four penal institutions of Ohio. They sponsored a boy from the Class of 1941 to the American Legion Buckeye Boys State at Columbus. Bill Neff was selected by the club for this honor. The club paid 35 from its own treasury and raised the remaining $10 by solicitation. The club functions not only as social but as a school service organization as well.

March 14 witnessed a gala affair in the high school gym, when the Student Council feted members of the varsity athletic teams in an evening of feast and frolic. The feast was prepared and served by the Sophomore Home Economics Class, with the frolic consisting of games and skills, supplementing that contented feeling which comes on a person immediately after being well fed. On another occasion, of the Student Council assembly program, Miss Watkins was presented with a new mellophone for the band. This presentation, kept secret until the last, came as a decided surprise to our band instructor. Robert Cope was the successful candidate for Buckeye Boys’ State for the year 1940, with Ronald Butts and Bill Neff runners up. The wisdom of these deliberations was confirmed later, when Bill Neff was selected as Hi-Y representative and Ronald Butts as American Legion representative to Buckeye Boys’ State. In all, the Student Council had a very busy year. They presented an exchange assembly program at New Lexington, an all school dance, two current movie attractions, provided a stimulant for student interest in athletics with a lxx ster emblem campaign, and conducted a sales tax stamp drive that netted nearly $400 worth of stamps. They also col laborated with the faculty in writing “The Aim and Purpose of Cr x ks-ville High School.” Assistance was given to various other departments of the school, namely, the library, museum, and music department.
