SIX FOOT NINE CLUB The Six-Foot-Nine is the youngest organization in El Reno High School, having been organized early in the second semester of this year. This organization is unique in that it is the only strictly service organization in the school. Mr. C. L. McGill, sponsor, originated the idea of uniform- ing the boys, who are continually called upon to assist with athletic events and scholastic gatherings which take place during the school year. It is, therefore, the responsibility of this organization to have charge of athletic fields and the gymnasium during athletic events and to direct crowds at all public gatherings with which the school authorities are con- cerned. Training in courtesy, diplomacy, posture, and individual H I The Hi-Y started the year with a boom by electing Mr. O. F. Carlton as sponsor and Mr. M. L. Bast as co-sponsor. 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 worthwhile 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 club maintains a service committee whose duty is to perform such services as the club is called upon to perform for the school. LETTERM The Lcttermen’s Club was organized in 1928 as the “E Club, with all who had lettered in any interscholastic compe- tition eligible for membership. In 1937 the athletes of the E” Club withdrew and formed the Lettermen’s organization, for which only athletes are eligible. The club now has a membership of more than one hun- dred. Active membership is composed of men still in high school, as well as those out of school who keep up their dues. It has been the custom of the E Club to present the outstanding senior athlete with a trophy. This year the AT PA Today, we leave this good old school. With its teachers true and kind: And as we go into new paths. We’ll find we’ve left behind The dearest friends in all the world; No truer ones we’ll find Than those who’ve helped us to our goal And through our lives entwined. And when at last we reach that goal For which we all have striven. We’ll look back on our high school days And see the budding vine responsibility is afforded the young men in the club through the many contacts which they must make in handling iarge groups of people. When the organization of such a club was proposed to Superintendent Paul R. Taylor with the suggestion tiiat uni- forms would aid materially in the promotion of a service or- ganization, he responded graciously by stating, “I will see to it that the boys are suitably uniformed. This he did by purchasing nine double-breasted blue coats, piped with white. The charter membership is as follows: Richard Luttrcll. Charles Hubbard, John McCoy, Vernon Lawrence, Thomas Teterson, Lloyd Patzwald. Ruebert Wicr, Finley Blanton, and Marvin Crump. - Y The officers for the second semester were: Joe Wallace, president. Ralph Clovis, vice-president, Ernest Doke, secre- tary, and Clarence Pearce, treasurer. The first initiation was held Nov. 12 in the high school gym. The club held its first semester picnic November 20. A doughnut sale was sponsored by the Hi-Y as a first sem- ester project. The social for the second semester was a pic- nic given March 30 at the Caddo Jake Crossing. The second initiation was held April 28. The club had a very prosperous year filled with weekly meetings, basketball games, and socials. Throughout the year former members visited meetings and furnished pro- grams for the club. IN’S CLUB Lettermen's Club has continued the custom, Ralph Clovis having wen it. In previous years the following athletes have won this recognition: Gordon Rice, Dugan Barnes. Francis Young and Ben Ellsworth. In 1933 the point system went into effect. Previous to that time the outstanding man was picked by the coach. Those winning by the point system have been Gene Whitlock. Arthur Ellsworth, Bill Slaughter, Ken- neth Taylor, and this year’s winner, Ralph Clovis. The yearly initiation is usually held about Easter time. So ends a most successful year for this new organization, the Lettermen’s Club. TING That has climbed the heights of glory And has brought us to success. We’ll hold high the shining candle For the standards which are best. And some day, when our work is done. We’ll sit and ponder o’er The days we spent in high school. And we’ll long for them once more. We’ll wonder where our friends have gone. The ones we love so dear; We’ll think of all those happy days And brush away a tear.—Nina Warren. (30
