k Hi-Y Club The Fort Lee Hi-Y Club was organized late in November under the leadership of Mr. Wardle, a county Y secretary. Hi-Y is a world wide movement which is represented in Bergen County alone by seventeen clubs. The main purpose of the Hi-Y is to a-id the school and community. In view of this purpose the local cha-pter took upon itself the task of decorating the gym for the Christmas party. No one was anxious to undertake this work, for a game scheduled for the preceding evening limited the time for preparation to one afternoon. The club also printed ca-rds for the first home basketball gameg and later each member pledged himself to sell at least five tickets for the play The Goose Hangs High. The last job of the club was to produce J, Caesar , a three-act takeoff on Shakespeare's play, to start a Bergen County fund which will defray the expenses of a foreign representative to the Hi-Y convention at Cleveland, Ohio. The membership includes Mr. Whittemore, faculty advisor, John Postel, presi- dent, James Carrara, vice-president, -Edward Doublier, secretaryg John Morrison, treasurerg Ralph Arnseth, George Coleman, Conrad Brieby, Cornelius Brodersen, Quentin Carrara, Philip Ciancio, Hannibal Cundari, Arthur Dyer, Augustus Falla-. tico, Joseph Howell, William Korker, Aloysius McManus, Albert Metz, Fred Oman, Francis Petrosino, Fred Rafanello, Theodore Schuman, Hector Zucchino.
