Harris TR!-Y 'Twas back when our older sisters and brothers were dancing the Big Apple, in 1938, that Tri-Y was organized for the first time in Ellensburg. Even though just an infant, it became one of the outstanding service clubs by carrying out its purpose: To create, main- tain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character. Since its start Tri-Y has plunged into the midst of charity drives, school projects, and other events besides putting on their annual Sweetheart Tolo. Activities included a luscious banquet for the Hi-Y boys, sending two delegates, Frances Oechsner and jerry Tucker to Youth and Government in Olympia, food sales, bazaars, and the highlight of the year--their unique King of Hearts tolo with the crowning of Ronald Koester as King of Hearts. The group was led by the following officers: Louise Jones, pres- identg Mary Jaques, vice-president, Irene Jensvold, secretary, Ermina Ross, treasurer: june Stevenson, chaplain. HI-Y The Hi-Y club, organized in 1926, has the same purpose today as it did then: promot- ing Christian character. With Bob Koester, president, jim Haberman, vice-president, Dennis Farrell, secretary, Eric Poulsen, treasurer: Herb Hatzenbeler, Chaplain, and Paul Fitterer, junior representative, the group carried on its Wednesday night meetings, helping many worthy projects. Such projects included: raising money for the World Youth Fund sponsoring worthwhile speakers and movies such as King of Kings. Herb Hatzenbeler and Dick Gemmill were delegates to Youth and Government in Olympia. Top: Mr. Weger, E. Poulsen, E. Storms, L. Swisher, R. Cahoon, D. Gemmill, Mr. Moore Srd: P. Bur-rows, L. Brown, D.

Jensvold TRIPLE E TOLO TRIPLE E As an honorary service organization of Girls' League Triple E organized in 1936 1125 done much to help the teachers and students of our school. When we said service that is exactly what we meant! The girls really work -usher at games and plays, raise money, gr21Cl6 papers and clean blackboards to earn member- ship. V Considering the small size of the group, the girls completed many duties with efficiency. The officers this year were: Phyllis 'dast- ham, president, Irene Jensvold, vice-president, june Stevenson, secretary, Virginia Hoke, treasurer, June jackson, sgt-at-armsg and Miss Ware, advisor. All through the ages, women have gaily pursued the men and welcomed Leap Year in hopes of getting their one and only tied to the old ball and chain. In 1937, the Triple E girls decided to give the gals a legal chance every year by giving a Tolo, and this tradition still is followed. November 1, 1948 it may have been, but Nifty Ninetiesn it was-down in the 15.1-LIS. cafeteria where one could almost hear the bustles rustle and the high-buttoned shoes squeak as fifty couples danced to the juke box.
