Recently the Hi-Y enter- tained the student body with an even- ing of movies and a semi-formal New Year's eve dance. Its members have cir- culated among the student body of Denby and have helped further the Hi- Y cause, To create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the school and com- munity high standards of christian char- acter. Outstanding for its large amount of activity is the Denby's Dance Club sponsored by Mr. Arthur Carty. Demonstrations during the past semester have been given at several schools, including Southeastern and Northeastern. Several members re- ceived recognition after their partici- pation in the Night Club Varieties fea- tured in the recent Funfest. Conspicuous in its position in front of the office is the Advertising Club, whose tireless efforts produce the gay and informative post- ers that line Denby's halls as advertis- ment for school activities. Sponsored by Mrs. Marian Van Osenbruggen, the Ad club offers a fine opportunity for those interested in commercial artistry. pf ,fawidif

During the course of the term the Denby Debating Team has participated in six official debates. They are the first team to bring a plaque to Denby. Speakers this term were Rose Hufnagel, Maureen Kaess, and Martin Shapero. This term a semi- monthly edition of the Denby Log has been presented to the student body. After the re-organization of the staff under the sponsorship of Mr. Wiesen- feld, much work was done to furnish the students with a different and true school paper. The present paper, similar to a daily newspaper in form, has been the result and has met with great suc- cess and approval. The Service Club was organized under the direction of Mr. Phillip Baird for the purpose of building character among the student body. Being the school's largest club it boasts a membership close to two hun- dred. Members control the halls and lunchroom during the school day and at the end of each term receive medals for length of service.
