W. C. A. As early as 1881, definite work with younger girls was being done by the Young Women's Christian Association. Our Girl Reserves got off to a good start this year with a membership of about 50 girls. In October the HisY and Girl Re- serve Conference Was held at Reid's Resort on Thornapple Lake. On the evening of November 13, the Hi-Y and Girl Reserves entertained their parents at a potluck sup- per, followed by an address by Mr. Glen Fry. Next came the Mid-Winter Conference at Flint, Michigan, which M. Graham and J. Rogers attended. The Mother and Daughter Banquet took place in May. HLY OFFICERS Phillip Clark ---- - - President George Padgham ----- Vice-President John Klingensmith - - - Secretary Ladd Hamilton - - - Treasurer Duane Crossette - - - Assistant Secretary The name, Hi-Y, represents a movement of high school youth who are members of the Young Men's Christian Association committed to a Christian purpose at work in the high school and in the community. Some of the Hi-Y objectives are to represent the Christian viewpoint, help integrate life's relationships, train independent men to function in a democracy, develop fellowship through all of our activities and help further the spirit of good will and world brotherhood. The Hi-Y purpose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The platform is clean living, clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship. The Hi-Y has been very active in the community and school this year. We have organized a Junior Hi-Y in the junior high school. Father and Son Banquets were held the first Monday in every month with many fathers attending. We have also had many swimming parties at the Y. M. C. A. building in Lansing. Twenty-one

.XKJ K .Iwi .M f ig ,I A T. LIBRARIANS A very efficient group of librarians has been in charge of our library this year. Chief among these is head librarian, Annetta Bennett, who has full charge of the library and the borrowing and returning of the books. Each study hour has two librarians who release books for the hour only. These workers are also supposed to give informa- tion to students who have difficulty in finding research matter. This work is beneficial to the individuals, as it makes them acquainted with good reading ma- terial and authors. It helps in English and it helps socially as you meet many students in an hour of library work. The librarians have social get-togethers. The group is xun on the basis of a club. We wish to thank all the librarians for their fine cooperation. Twenty-two Librarians Third Row HD. Burnett. ll Niles. IR. Hetterley, B Gehlhaar, P. Challender. ham. D. M, Watson, B. A Felzke , L.

LEDGE NEWSPAPER STAFF The year 1940-'41 has been an unusually success- ful one for the Ledge Staff. Our efficient and resourceful editor, Win Bradley, has sustained the interest and effort of the staff remarkably well, and the whole staff can be proud of the tribute paid to him by the editor of the Grand Ledge Independent in his editorial column. Working with our editor were nine assistants: Margaret Cramer, Wallace Holmes, Geraldine Conner, Harris Kempf, Jeanne Bills, Marjorie Workinger, John Fitzgerald, Mary Alexander and Maude Alice Graham. Fourteen reporters, chosen to represent the various interests and classes of the school, also gathered news of innumerable activities in and about the school and strove to bring variety and originality into our columns this year. And when that ,40-'41 Ledge is put to bed I am sure we will all agree that it has been a good Ledge and the best staff ever. Second RowW'M. A. Gra- ln hof'T. A. Edgar, A. Ben- M. A. Graham. R.
