The Hi-Y is an organization of boys of the senior high school who are interested in living a Christian life and who stand for those things that are worth while in school and everyday life. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Its emblem is a triangle, the three sides of which represent the three sides of an individual’s life: moral, mental, and physical. The dub maintains a service committee whose duty is to perform such services as the club is called upon to per- form for the school. One of the annual services rendered is that of distributing baskets of food to needy families at Thanksgiving. The members also assume control of the gym during the basketball tournaments. In February the annual Hi-Y Conference was held at Norman, to which the club sent two delegates. Leslie Thompson and Harold Estep. The annual spring picnic was held on April 17, at which time the hoys and their dates enjoyed a very pleas- ant evening on the banks of the North Canadian River. E” CLUB The E Club was organized in 1923 by Mr. Kirk Rice. The purpose of the organization is to foster a high type of athletics in the school. The membership of the club is lim- ited to those students who have earned one or more letters in any branch of athletic or academic competition. Each year the club awards a trophy to the graduating senior boy who has earned the highest number of points in athletic competition during his three years in high school. Kenneth Taylor received the trophy this year, having ac- cumulated twenty points in basketball and football.

24 THE BOOMER. 1936 MUSIC DEPARTMENT Hy Kathryn McCann. ORCHESTRA “Music, when soft voices die. Vibrates in the memory.” Music in El Reno High School started ns an extra- curricular activity; but owing to its popularity «and value both for cultural purposes and leisure time use, it was soon included in the regular curriculum. At first there was only the voice department, the orchestra and band classes being added later. It was in a large measure due to the work of Miss Helen Crumbaugh. one of the vety first music in- structors, Unit our music department increased in number and popularity. She was succeeded in 1930 by Miss Mary Edwards, who took charge of the voice department, and Mr. Fred W. Pike, who was elected as director of the band. Miss Mary Edwards, after having taughi very successfully for five and a half years, was granted a leave of absence for the second semester this year, so that she might attend Columbia University in New York City and complete work for her master's degree. In addition to the two glee clubs the voice department ha three definitely organized quartets that frequently ap- pear on both school and civic programs. The personnel of the quartets is as follows: girls' quartet, Frances Lea Hodges, first soprano; Greta Carter, second soprano: Mary Jane Spencer, first alto, and Adah Van Wagner, second alto. The boys’ quartet. Charles Schaffer, first tenor; Robert Cory, second tenor; W. B. Jennings, baritone, and Joe Short, bass. The mixed quartet, Evelyn Jennings, soprano; Kath- ryn McCann, contralto; Charles Schaffer, tenor, and Harold Sheets, bass. Thus we see that El Reno High School is making provis- ion for developing the varied musical talents found in the student body, thereby not only providing music for its own sake, but also leading the students to a fuller appreciation of good music.

The orchestra is an indisponsiblc organization of the High School, because it willingly renders its services when- ever called upon. It lends atmosphere to all plays and operettas with its music. The orchestra also plays for many other school activities, and each year presents an annual concert. In the annual state orchestra meet at Enid in April, the local orchestra placed second.
