Hi-Tri Seeks Improvement in Character Beginning the school year, the Hi Tri spon- stired a coke and cookie party for senior and freshman girls in honor of the end of big sister guidance week. That week was designated as a time when senior girls made a special ef- fort to help freshmen get acquainted with DTHS and the students. Other activities undertaken by the Hi Tri, an organization at DTHS of which all the girls are automatically members, included attending a fall conference at Collinsville and a spring conference at Metropolis, sponsoring an assembly program for the student body, and being in charge of an all-girl school party held October 24. This party was preceded by the formal cere- HI Tri monies presented by the older members to ex- plain the goals of Hi Tri to the new members. Miss Veach, the sponsor, explained that the purpose of the Hi Tri is to teach the girls to be cheerful, honest, helpful, friendly, loyal, and to look to the future. To earn money for their trips, conference dues, and parties, the Hi Tri members sold Christmas cards. Bringing their social activities to a close, the junior and senior girls with their mothers at- tended a Mother-Daughter Banquet on March 27. Highlighting this banquet was the installation of the 1957-58 officers,
