Worship, fellowship, and good will are all a part of Y-Teen, a world-wide Christian organization, which meets every other Wednesday. Seniors and juniors started the year by being big sisters to the fresh- man and other new girls in the school. Anonymous letters, written in many orig- inal ways, along with small gifts were sent to the little sisters, and in an impressive candle light service the big sisters iden- tity became known.

The Horn of Plenty on stage for the Thanksgiving program showed some of the food brought as a result of this an- nouncement. The memorable program end- ed with a meditation T-H-A-N-K-S and the Lord's Prayer. At Christmas time jun- iors and sophomores could be seen bring- ing their food stuffs and everyone in the school aided by giving money to be used for the purchase of food to complete a well-balanced meal for needy families in the community. Some of the programs on a hobby theme included: the collection of mechanical banks: collection of rare coins and paper money: different handicrafts: and a style show displaying clothing made by the girls. Scouts went looking for hidden ability, when found the contestants were D0 .4 reduced to three girls who represented Y- Teen in a joint talent show with the Hi-Y. Easter time brought forth another style show with the Y-Teen girls as models showing spring fashions from local stores. Justine Stewart, Janice Smith, Ila Mae Hemm and Linda Genkinger represented Fairfield High School at the Y-Teen sum- mer conference at Pella last year.

l Torches illumine scholarship Hushed expectation prevails throughout the high school auditorium as the students are called to take their places as members of Torch Club, the Fairfield chapter of the National Honor Society. Twice a year the eligible students are selected by vote of the members of their class and faculty. The final selection is made by a faculty committee. This honorary organization has as its pur- pose the encouragement of learning, hard work, and intelligent participation in school and community life. The group, with Miss Lindauer as its advisor, also sponsors an annual banquet for active and graduate members. The qualifications for initiation into Torch Club are high and difficult to meet. Ex- cellence in scholarship, demonstration of leadership ability, strength of character, and service to others are qualities all of which no human professes to have. Torch Club exists as a reward to those who have tried and partially succeeded in develop- ing these ideals into their lives.

offer service The position of chief cook of FHS was threatened one Sun- day morning as a few Hi-Y boys invaded the kitchen and prepared a huge volume of breakfast for members of their club who were later to attend church together. The Hi-Y, in co-operation with Y- Teen and the student body bought food and distributed twenty baskets at Christmas time. The activity period on alter- nate Wednesdays, is well fill- ed with worship, education and entertainment. With a look to the future members were told about scholarship opportunities and future cars by a representa- tive of the Fisher Body Craft- man's Guild. Besides meet- ings on possible vocations, hobbies were considered at several programs. The ques- tion What'll I wear? was answered by a showing of men's styles - suits, ties, shirts, topcoats. Can you sing? Stand on your head? These were key ques- tions in the Search for acts for the annual Hi-Y Talent Show. The variety of acts in- cluded a melodramatic pres- entation, a pop singer, a snap- py drum solo, and other acts presented to the tune of much laughter and applause. The Hi-Y has functioned smoothly and profitably under the leadership of the elected cabinet. When a member is truly interested and consid- ers his enthusiasm and pre- sence important to the organ- ization and good for himself, then the group as in Hi-Y can more nearly fulfill its Chris- tian purpose in the life of the boys of Fairfield High School.
