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.

Pence PEP CLUB The Bow Wow Club C1925 version of Pep Clubj was the first organized group of girls to take part in cheering their athletic teams to victory. They sold tickets to sports events, gave dances and sold candy so they could treat the grid stars to a big feed. The girls always worked for good sportsmanship throughout the school. Now the Bow Wow Club is gone-sand in its place is a group of energetic girls who contribute much to the gay spirit and colorfulness of our athletic events. Organized as we see it today in 1945 the Pep Club has strived to set an example of good sportsmanship and has promoted school spirit this year by putting on pep assemblies, distributing booklets of yells, selling shakers, and drilling at the games. Often the success of any club depends greatly on the officers and advisor. This year the group was fortunate to have as its leaders the following: Mary Jaques, president, Donna Driver, vice-presi- dent, Wilma Smith, secretary, Virginia Ross, treasurer, and Miss Shuck, advisor. BASKETBALL Little did James Naismith know that his game, invented in 1891, now called basketball, would draw more spectators than any other sport in the United States. A peach basket nailed to the wall served as the first target for the boys in his gym classes. This sport was popularized during the long winter months when weather did not permit such outdoor games as football and baseball. This year Coach Godfrey's Bulldogs had an exciting season, treating E.H.S. fans to thrillingly close games. Top: Coach Henry, R. Sorenson, R. Hall, G. Marshall, K. Brown, L. Sorenson, W. Chastain, R.
