W'- Fi Twenty-two NINETEEN THIRTY- SIX Tri-Y Eleven years ago the Tri-Y club was organized through the efforts of Miss Miriam lnglis. Since then the leadership has changed and the present ad- visors are Miss Eva Kirby and Miss Ella Pfeiffer. The aim of the Tri-Y club is to develop the girl in mind, body, and spirit. Meetings are held frequently and are made of interest to the members. Three delegates, Doris Berg, Charlotte Allen, and Frances Abraham, were sent to the Midwinter Conference at Salem. The officers are: Doris Berg, president, June Metzger, vice-president, Marjorie Stone, secretary, Edith Gleason, treasurer, and Mary Lou Chastain, council member. H i-Y This club was organized as a minor division of the Y. M. C. A. to include boys of high school age. As this is strictly an honorary club, its members are chosen for some outstanding quality they possess. The primary purpose of the club is to create and maintain high standards and ideals among the boys. Officers for l935-l 936 were: Roger Kidder, president, Owen Bourne, sec- retary, Bill Harlow, treasurer, and Jim Metzger, sergeant-at-arms. The ad- visors, Mr. Ownbey and Mr. Gowen, have worked hard to make this a worth- while organization. The senior members of the club are the following: Bill Susanka, Robert Campbell, Harold Marticke, Jim Metzger, Owen Bourne, Leonard Morgan, Roger Kidder, Bill Harlow, Fred Leitz, Ben Bushue, and Bob Lewis. Home Ec Club All girls who take Home Economics are eligible for membership in the Home Ec Club. The club has had an exceptionally busy year under the able supervision of Miss lsbister.

The officers have been: Joyce Scott, president, Catherine Leppere, vice- president, Edythe Davis, secretary, Kathryn Strebin, treasurer, Madge Hea- cock, historian, Jean Shull, reporter, Mary Elizabeth Boynton, song leader, and Hazel Gillett, custodian. F. F. A. The Future Farmers of America, with Kirby E. Brumfield as advisor, have for their purpose the furtherance of the boys' interests in the agricultural field.

The band, with Mr. Harold Weber wielding the baton, won for itself an excellent rating at the state band contest at Corvallis. Mr. Weber as well as the members of the band should be congratulated upon the fine showing made by the band at the many football and basketball games and also at the student body meetings.
