Hi-Y The Galatia Hi-Y Club was organized during the present school year. The work, which thus far has been somewhat hampered by lack of needed literature, has consdsted largely of Bible study. Other activities which are contcmplated are discussions on live topics, handicrafts, and drama. The purpose as stated in the constitution is, To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian Character. In keeping with this purpose are the four planks of the Hi-Y program, often referred to as the four C's. These are: Clean Speech Clean Living Clean Sportsmanship Clean Scholarship An induction ceremony built about these ideals is now in the making.
