The Tri-Hi-Y, under the direction of Mrs. Lynn Go- downs, had an exciting year as they increased their school and community projects and activities. To start off the year, the Tri-Hi-Y reestablished their ties with the state organization, the YMCA. By holding a bake sale, the club raised Slw which they contributed to the YMCA's World Fund. The Tri-Hi-Y's first project was the annual canned food drive at Thanksgiving. The Tri- Hi-Y asked that each student bring at least three cans. Approximately BG? cans were collected and given to the Meriwether County Department of Family and Chil- dren's Services. These were placed in reserve to be distributed to needy families. At Christmastime the Tri-Hi-Y collected toys and gifts for children who would not have received gifts. The Meriwether Department of Family and Children's Services was very grateful for the club's help in this project. In February the club sponsored the Sweetheart Sock- hop for the second consecutive year. DJ John Alex- ander from WVOC entertained everyone, and stu- dents, faculty, and parents had a great time. The Tri-Hi-Y also ordered jerseys this year. They were white with red letters and trim. Each member was able to get her name, nickname, or whatever she want- ed on the back, and also her choice of numbers. Every- one was well pleased with the jerseys as they were very sharp-looking for wearing with jeans and slacks. A project that the Tri-Hi-Y carried on throughout the year was Happy Monday. Each Monday three or four members brought sweets and placed them in the teach- ers' lounge. The teachers were grateful to the club for their efforts and enjoyed the results. The final project of the Tri-Hi-Y was the annual bike- a-thon, held in May, which they co-sponsored with the Key Club. The funds raised were donated to St. Jude's Hospital and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I. Coach Ellis enjoys the Sweetheart Sockhop. 2.
