Junior-Senior Hi-Y . . . The 1938-39 Junior-Senior Hi-Y Club has had an average year as a whole, the officers and members co-operating to push the membership up to about 60. This year's programs held forth much variety and interest. Some of the themes and topics heading the list were: Fun and Hobby programs, religious and Sunday School relationships, athletics, sportsmanship, and international relations. A series of pro- grams was given to the study of Boy and Girl Relationships during the second semester. Some of the prominent Emporians who were guest speakers prior to March 14, were Rev. Allison, Supt. Richards, Rev. Large, Dr. Mosher, and Dr. Munger, and also Rev. Choguill. The G. R.-Hi-Y play, 'iBegin1Ier's Luckf, given last fall was an outstanding feature in the school activitiesg other activities are being planned for the spring semester. The club met twice a month. May the Hi-Y clubs of next year uphold the Hi-Y motto and have even more a suc- cessful year. OFFICERS President .,.,,,,, , L .- .,... GERALD MCGUIRE Vice-Pmidmf L .... .

Girl Reserves . . . To find and give the best has been the purpose of over three hundred girls this past year who have been members of the Girl Reserve Club, the high school or- ganization of the Y. W. C. A. Twenty-two Girl Reserves returned from their re- spective summer camps, Camp Bide-a-Wee at Wichita, Camp Brewster at Omaha, Neb., and Camp Wood at Elmdale, filled with great enthusiasm, and the club activities began in earnest at the Setting-Up Conference held in the Y. W. C. A. in September. A second con- ference was held in January, again at the Y. W. C. A., from Friday after school until Saturday afternoon. In order to be financially independent, the club carried on several money-making drives, including the annual magazine sale, candy sales at football games and after school, the G. R.-Hi-Y benefit play in October, and the collection of dues. The theme was chosen to predominate club activities. Stars was chosen for the theme and each letter stood for a trait of character that each girl should strive to attain. S for Sincerity, T for Tolerance, A for Aspiration, R for Reverence, and S for Service. The collection of money, food and clothing for the welfare at Thanksgiving was left for the G. R.'s and at Christmas the Service Committee had a party for underprivileged first grade children. They also helped to decorate the school for the holidays. Another activity was the Christmas party preceded by a large group of girls going caroling at the hospitals. A new feature, a Valentine Tea Dance, proved to be a success.
