THE PIONEER Vila IGN I-II-Y CLUB HE Fort Lee Hi-Y Club started off early in September with an executive meeting comprised of the faculty adviser and the officers. The form of meeting which was outlined for the rest of the year, called for a ritual, a group discussion, a business meeting, and a feature. In view of the difficulty in finding an open date in the afternoon, the meetings were held once every two weeks in the evening. The club, true to its purpose to aid the school and community, has undertaken several projects. The first has been the sale of candy at athletic contests. The funds thus obtained have been used to buy the school a banner which was presented at assembly, and to print baseball schedules. The checking of coats at school dances has been another service undertaken by the Hi-Y boys. The members have had several socials and are looking forward to a grand finale to be held sometime in June. The officers are Francis Petrosino, presidentg John lVIorrison, vice-presidentg Fred Oman, secretaryg Hector Zucchino, treasurerg Nlrl H. C. VVhittemore, faculty adviser.
