We feel that the publication of this annual has been due to the coopera- tion of the student body, faculty members, Board of Education, and the citizens of Hayti School District. We hope that the spirit of the An- nual will be carried into the hearts of the future members of our school, and that they will publish more and better Annuals, continuing to set forth newer and better ideals in edu- cation.

We were not like most Freshmen, we were greener! Fortified with the knowledge obtained through eight years of Grade School, and by the crowning glory of a “Diploma'’ and “graduation” speeches, we had decided that we were no less that geniuses. So, imagine our feelings when the high and mighty “upperclassmen” calmly informed us that we were nothing but brainless worms, too inferior for words. It was a great downfall, but we were ambitious. We fearlessly faced the insurmountable barriers of Algebra, History, and English. Some fell by the wayside. Our class dwindled. But the majority survived the test, and became Sophomores! Upper- classmen !! Our one aim was to make life miserable for the Freshmen, even as life had been made miserable for us. Our efforts met with such as- tounding success that there was a move to abolish Freshman initia- tions! Alas! And then, in an incredibly short time we were Juniors, our am- bition to feed the Seniors. As usual, we were successful. And now! The graduating class of nineteen hundred and thirty, once the lowly Freshmen, now the illustrious Seniors, Pub- lishers of the first Annual in eleven years. Twenty-eight of us, our schooldays almost over. Almost ready to fare forth into the world to find our ways alone. Wish us luck.

Having a few moments to waste a few of the illustrious Seniors prepared the following lines for those of you who are not too inconceivably ignorant to take heed.. 1. Do always your puny best to follow in the footsteps of those who have gone before you, and, as a result of such effort, a few ideas might filter into the vacuum that rests upon your shoulders, for mir- acles have happened before. 2. Put away your dolls, and other remembrances of your baby days, and try to become a true warrior for old H. H. S. 3. Be generous, brave, just, and wise, like the Seniors. Freshman Creed The upperclassmen are our betters, we shall be like them. They lead us into the paths of civilization and upright existence. Yes, verily' we shall follow in their footsteps. They caress our carcasses with paddles. We are bruised all over. Surely respect and praise shall follow them all their days, and we shall probably wallow in our loathsome, slimy, puddles forever. Yes, the upperclassmen are both just and wise, but take heed ye scum of the earth, that ye cross not the will of those above you, lest LePage’s be used for Staycomb. And now, ye putrid relics of a foul past, ye donkeys, chuckles, oafs, boobies, morons, louts, loons, nincompoops, rubes, dunces, and half-wits, cart your filthy carcasses forth, and bear in mind the bril- liant words of those who so generously wasted their precious time up- on you. Take heed, for the upperclassmen are wise. Do as they say, and perhaps, some day you shall reach the heights they have already at- tained, although all but the very optimistic have abandoned hope.

COLORS: Royal Blue and White FLOWER: Sweet Pea JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Our class had a determination to get a name for ourselves and stay a loyal bunch. We stayed together until we reached the fifth grade where we began losing each year up until this year at least one pupil through marriage. We doubt whether any other class can equal this record. In the eighth grade we were divided into two groups. This seemed to sever the bonds that had held us so closely together. We were not united again until we entered high school as “green fresh- ies.” The treatment of upper classes caused us to become firmly unit- ed again as a class. In the Freshman year we carried away the honor of champion- ship in the class basketball tournament and placed several girls on the basketball squad. We lost several that year, who could not resist the temptation to get married 'This was leap year). We entered the Sophomore Class a jolly bunch. We did an un- heard of thing by having a play, something that was formerly limited to Juniors and Seniors only. We also had the honor of having six of the nine members on baseball squad from our class. Among the all-stars picked from the county our class was represented by one member. In the Junior year our class had dwindled considerably, yet we were a peppy bunch. We had many honors—having the queen of the Annual chosen from our class, the pep leader from our class, the two only touchdowns of the season in football made by our boys, a boy and girl all-star from our class and four girls on the basketball team. Thus ends our series of years. Juniors of 1930 William Khourle Cornelia McCoy Samie R.

MOTTO: “Not to the top, but climbing.” COLORS: Red and White FLOWER: American Beauty Rose HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS In September of 1919, a half afraid yet peppy group of young- sters went up to the airport, or Grade School, to take their first long aeroplane ride. They all climbed into the plane of knowledge, and worked hard to keep it up in the air. Of course, there were trials and hardships to be overcome, and a few of the passengers failed to pass over these, and had to be left behind, but most of them worked on and kept the plane going. This ‘‘ride” lasted about eight years, with short stops for refueling during the summer months of each year. Then the plane was forced to land, with only thirty-six passengers remain- ing. There followed a short period of three months in which to pre- pare for another trip in the plane of knowledge, a shorter trip this time, but reaching to higher altitudes, and more dangerous. The plane did not have such good luck this tune, being almost forced to land on the first lap of the journey, when it met with the hurricane of Algebra, the tornado of General Science, and the blizzard of Eng- lish all at the same time. Some of the passengers did fall out, but the plane soon righted itself and continued on the journey. At this time we find the plane still sailing on, with about the same number of passengers. A few of them are having trouble fight- ing the headwind of Latin, a danger that has been overcome by most of the rest. Of course we are expecting most of the passengers to come out in perfect condition. The plane is now passing over the cloud known as ‘‘Sophomore,” and is doing fine. It will soon be ready to sail over the Junior and Senior clouds, then the journey will be ended, and we will all have our Pilot s License, and be ready to begin the biggest and longest flight of all. We sincerely hope that the difficulty will be few, with a total absence of crack-ups and forced landings. Sophomores of 1930 m First Row: E. T.

Yes, that’s what we are now. Most of us have gone through grade school and entered high school together. We went through grade school and had all our struggles, but always with the one high ambition—to get into high school. Now that we have obtained that much cherished desire, it isn’t so pleasant. Ever since we have entered we have been as slaves to the higher classes, bearing that horrible name, “Green Freshies.” But still, out of all our rough points a few bright points show up. There wras our Freshman play, which came out a great success. The donation we gave to the Annual Staff, resulting from the play, helped it considerably. Among our social activities we have had a weiner roast and a watch party, sponsored by Mr. Owens. These were both successful and we had lots of fun. As for athletics, we have not been idle. Football found Wilson Chapman as regular center, Richard Martin as guard and Leon Chism, L. C. Henderson and Harold Cunningham as dependable subs. In basketball Christine Homer was a regular player on the local team, while LaVerne Foster, Cecelia Hagemann and Marguerite Hagemann were faithful subs. On the boys’ local team Harold Cunningham was regular for- ward or center. In the class tournament we took third place, both boys and girls. Not only have we played in the tournament but we also have had two games with Holland, one there and one here, winning the one here. Our class officers, who have served faithfully, are as follows: President ................... James Roane Vice President .............. LaVerne Foster Sec. and Treas..................Hattie Herrell I think every member of the Freshman Class will willingly say that they have enjoyed their first term in old Hayti High to the utmost.

If the success of a football season is to be estimated in the num- ber of touchdowns or high scores, there is very little to be said in the way of lauding the accomplishments of the Hayti Indians during the season of 1929. But of course it is a known fact that when it comes to testing true sportsmanship and courage (the attainment of which is one of the main objects of High School football), the winning or losing of a game is not the consideration. The supreme test of these qualities comes when the team is facing dis- appointment and defeat. It is the manly con- duct of our Indian warriors in these trying and adverse circumstances that enhances our pride in them, and removes from us the HARLEY MILLS, Coach bitterneS8 of defeat. When the season opened last September, our prospects for win- ning a fairly high percentage of the games was very promising. iwifitfiuitfistfiifiyisfiifitfiifiifiifiifitfisj Review of Football Season Front Row: (Left to Rigrht) Wendall Hall, Richard Martin, Charles Stanfill, William Shrader, Wilson Chapman, Tyson Homer, Charles Duncan, Harley Mills, (coach). Second Row: Woodrow McDonald, Waymon Miller, Leon Chism, Robert Martin, Odis Ball, Herman Streiff, Willie King, Harold Cunningham, L. C. Henderson. Coach Mills had instilled in the hearts of the boys the determination to win or die fighting. The whole squad was given consistent and strenuous training, and our outlook for the season was bright and full of promise. Then came the fatal game with Portageville, in which the In- dians were defeated by the narrow margin of six to nothing. It was a hard fought game from beginning to end. Portageville scored the only touchdown of the game in the first few minutes of play, and from then on the attempts of both teams were futile. Our next defeat was administered by the Hornersville Bull- dogs. The score at the close was twenty-one to nothing, but when we consider the fact that the Indians were greatly out-weighed by the speedy Hornersville team, we feel that it was a well fought game. To enumerate the games which followed is only to speak of de- feat. The Indians fought hard and courageously, but the odds were against them. The majority of the team members played their first game this year, and consequently were so lacking in the experience that comes only with playing the game that they were unable to fight as a unit. Every man gave his utmost. Not a single instance could be recorded of lack of loyalty or courage, but the team as a whole had not enough experience to play as a single body. Thus defeat, by consistent training and practice, and by untir- mg effoi ts on the part of Coach Mills, was barely overcome by the ter- Review of Football Season minat ion of the year. The result of such vigorous training became evident, however, before its final conclusion. Naturally it was most plainly manifest in the last game of the season. We will always remember the East Prairie-Hayti game. It was a game which, in a great measure, redeemed our past record, al- though the score was against us. In this game, Homer, our captain, distinguished himself by plunging, blocking, tackling, and, in general, playing the game as it should be played. The East Prairie team greatly outweighed the Indians, and earlier in the season had de- feated the Indians by a literal avalanche of touchdowns. They were expected to beat us by forty points. East Prairie scored first, in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Indians retaliated with a touchdown, after a steady march of sixty yards, King carrying the ball over. Homer added the extra point. In the last half East Prairie scored two more touchdowns and the game ended with the score eighteen to seven in favor of East Prairie. They won, but they didn’t brag. Homer, tackle and captain, is leaving this year, as is Martin, co-captain and fullback, and Shrader and Stanfill, guards. They will be sorely missed, but with the aid of the interest and enthusiasm aroused by coach Mills and his boys, we are planning to turn out a team next year that will be a surprise to all. Heard in the Huddle Streiff (Quarterback): “Gadzooks and oddsbodkins, gay blades, I would suggest an off-tackle formation for the next agitation.” Duncan (End): “I say, Antiphlo- gistine, old smut, you should get a job with the Union Oil. They’re look- ing for oil-cans, you know.” Streiff: “Oh, Prithee remove thy Presence from my whereabouts; thou hast a growth in thy nasal cavity, thou dolt.” Shrader (Guard) “Pray, knaves, squabble not, adenoids me.” Martin (Fullback) “What-ho, Pe- tronius, how am I like a homesick col- ored person?” Homer (Tackle): “I have you there, dullard, it is because thou art all black and blue.” Streiff: “Come, come, infinitesi- mal sons of bacteria, cavort thyselves sturdily upon the green, for we are about to make a prodigious line rush off-tackle. Hey, hey, hike, and other expressions of motion.” (All go into play singing “After the Ball is Over.”) Review of Basketball Season First Row: Fred Rowe, sruard; Odis Ball, center; William Khourie, gruard; Wendell Hall, forward; Herman Streiff, forward. ... Second Row: Dee Barnes, guard; Harold Cunningham, forward; Aubrey Burress, guard; Aimer Gardner, captain and guard; Harley Anderson, forward. The Hayti Indians had a fairly successful season this year, winning the majority of the games, and placing in every tournament. Captain Hedge, of the girls, piloted her team to victory in every scheduled game, while the boys, Captained by Gardner, won five out of eight scheduled games. Gardner was a reliable, cool-headed lead- er, always calm in a pinch, and played an excellent game at stick guard. Hedge, also a guard, was an excellent leader too, and an in- dispensible player. The girls won most of their games easily, by large one-sided scores, and the boys, while losing part of their games, always fought to the last whistle, never giving up. GAMES Hayti vs. Holland The Indians started the season by dividing a double-header with Holland. The girls won easily, by a large score, while the boys, after playing three extra periods, finally lost by the narrow margin of two points. A close, hard game, and hard to lose.

Hayti vs. Braggadocio The Indians won a double header in the second clash of the season, defeating the Braggadocio boys and girls. Both games were fast and interesting, showing some unusual playing by both teams. Scores Girls game: Indians 38—Braggadocio 12 Boys game: Indians 31—Braggadocio 20 Hayti vs. Steele In the third double-header the Hayti girls walked over Steele by a large score, and the Hayti boys defeated the team that later won the County championship, in a breath-taking game that made the fans realize that Hayti had a strong boys’ team as well as a strong girls’ team. Scores Girls game: Indians 30—Steele 6 Boys game: Indians 25—Steele 21 itfi Review of Basketball Season Hayti vs. Diehlstadt Then came the game to which the fans all looked forward, the game that is always classed as the big game of the season, Indians vs. Diehlstadt. The games were played in a gymnasium packed with basketball—wild fans, with each town generously represented. Diehl- stadt was the first real opposition that the Hayti girls met this year, and what opposition. The game was nip and tuck throughout, first one team in the lead, and then the other. The teams were almost per- fectly matched, no one being able to pick a winner. It was just a matter of keeping cool while playing like mad, and trusting to old Lady Luck. But the Great Spirit was watching over the Indians, and at the end of the game they were one point in the lead. The boys were not so fortunate, however. Their game was fast and interesting, and close until the last quarter, when the Diehl- stadt team crept up to an eight-point lead. Here the game ended. Scores Girls game: Indians 26—Diehlstadt 25 Boys game: Indians 28—Diehlstadt 36 Hayti vs. Senath The Senath game was another easy victory for the girls. It was apparent in the first quarter that Hayti was by far the superior team. In the second half the entire second team was used, and held Senath almost scoreless. In the Senath game the Hayti boys were handicapped by the temporary loss of several players, due to sickness and other causes. The score was overwhelmingly against us. Scores Girls game: Indians 40—Senath 12 Boys game: Ind' ns 22—Senath 47 Hayti vs. Risco The Risco games were two more easy victories for the Indians. The scores of both games were so decisively in Hayti’s favor that it left no doubt that the Indians were far superior in the art of looping baskets. Scores Girls game: Indians 44—Risco 10 Boys game: Indians 36—Risco 13 Hayti vs. Cooler The Cooter double-header was Hayti’s first game away from home. The girl’s game was very close. The Cooter team managed to keep even or ahead of Hayti during the first three quarters, but again Review of Basketball Season the Great Spirit was good to the Indians, and in the last quarter they came from behind and won. The Hayti boys won easily from Cooter. The first team ran up a large score in the first half. In the third quarter the second team was used, and in the last quarter the entire third team played, hold- ing Cooter to six points. Scores Girls game: Indians 23—Cooter 21 Boys game: Indians 39—Cooter 21 Hayti vs. Deering The Hayti girls terminated a successful season by defeating the Deering girls by another large score. The game was very interesting, considering the one-sidedness of the scores, and it provided an excel- lent workout for the Indians. The Hayti boys concluded their season by defeating the team that later won second place in the county tournament. It was a hair- raising, breath-taking game, spectacular for speed and brilliant play- ing. Both teams were in excellent condition, and the game was “one of those you read about.” At the half the score was 13 to 14 in favor of the Indians, a one point lead that the Indians kept' by hard fight- ing, until the final whistle. Scores Girls game: Indians 39—Deering 7 Boys game: Indians 26—Deering 25 SIKESTON INVITATION TOURNAMENT On Friday, February 21, the Hayti boys journeyed to Sikeston to take part in the annual Boys’ Invitation Tournament. Hayti was placed in class “B”, because of the three games lost during the season, and the first game was with Bertrand. It proved to be a victory for the Indians. The score was fairly close, and the game was a hard one. Our next game was with East Prairie, and it resulted in an- other victory for the Indians, and matched Hayti with Bloomfield for the championship of class “B.” Although the Indians fought hard, they were overpowered by the onslaught of the Bloomfield quintet, and the game ended with Bloomfield three goals ahead, Hayti taking second place. Streiff, forward for Hayti, was included in the all-star team picked by the referee after the tournament.

COUNTY TOURNAMENT—GIRLS In the County Tournament the Hayti girls drew Cooter, the only team that had beaten Hayti, for the first clash. It was a game that will long be remembered, and one of the most thrilling of the whole tournament. Hayti and Cooter, having divided two previous games by one and two point leads, everyone, including the players, seemed to accept this game as the one that would decide which team was really the strongest. And the Indians won by another one-point lead! Only one point, but a victory, giving Hayti a good chance for the Championship. The next game was with Braggadocio, another easy victory, and placing Hayti in position to play Caruthersville for the County Championship. Caruthersville, Hayti’s traditional enemy with an undefeated team, and Hayti, with only one defeat to mar a perfect record. These two teams, strongest in the County, met in one of the greatest battles in basketball history in Pemiscot County. It was a game that will never be forgotten, and one the like of which is not seen every day. It was a clean, well played game, with both teams fighting to the bitter end. There was not much scoring in the first Review of Basketball Season Front: Marjorie Tohill, Mascot.

In the second quarter, Streiff was substituted for Gwin at forward and she immediately proved the wisdom of this change by bringing the stands to their feet with a series of beautiful shots. Shooting from about the division line, she made five straight goals, putting Hayti in the lead. This lead was held until the last few min- utes of play, when Streiff was changed to guard, Hedge pulled from the line-up, and Gwin replaced at forward. After this Hayti did not score again, and Caruthersville scored once, giving them a one point lead. Here the game ended. Hayti was awarded the second place trophy, and M. Coleman, running center, and F. McCoy, guard, were placed on the all-star team.

Hayti’s first game was with Cooter, one of the strong- est teams in Southeast Missouri. The Indians started off with a rush, showing the old Hayti P-E-P, and at the half the score was 14 to 7 in Hayti's favor. It looked like another victory for old H. H. S., but with the start of the second half, three Hayti players quite suddenly and mysteriously fouled out. The Cooter team then began slowly but surely to shorten the lead of the weakened Hayti team, and at the end of the game Cooter was leading by one point. This defeat eliminated Hayti from the championship bracket, but the team entered the consola- tion tournament and had an almost unoppos- ed sweep to third place, defeating Lilbourn and New Madrid in short order. M. Coleman, running center, and G. Gwin, forward, were placed on the all-star team picked by the coaches whose teams were repre- sented at the tournament.

Robert Martin, Art Editor; Aubrey Burress, Athletic Editor; Aljie Holt, Class Editor; Fred Rowe, Feature Editor. We, the Annual Staff of the first edition of the Council of the Hayti High School, wish to extend our thanks and appreciation to the many people who have helped to make this, our Annual, possible. Our task, when we first viewed it, seemed almost impossible. We are, of course, a small school and money is not as plentiful as we would like it to be. Not only that, but it has been many years since Hayti High School has had a publication of any sort. Naturally we were inexperienced in this sort of work. After we had decided to have an Annual our troubles had just begun. We had to win the active support of the different classes in school and the faculty. Finally our staff was chosen and our work was started. Our first act was to choose as our faculty adviser Mr. R. A. Moyers, the man who makes impossible things possible, our best friend and most competent adviser. The annual staff feels that without his aid our Council could never have suceeded. In the end we thank you, our friends, and hope you may enjoy this Council which we have prepared for you. THE STAFF. Music Club (Always be natural, sometimes be sharp, but never be flat) Mrs. Carma Dorris, Teacher. Louise Golden, Daphna Sanford, Alma Jean Morgan, Pres.. Boonifc Miller, Secy. Treas. Ivan Allen, Juanita Cranford, Holly Blackard, Christina Harmon. The music club is composed of eleven ambitious musicians. It was organized in November. Since then we have had meetings every six weeks at the homes of the members. At these meetings each one present is to play some selection on the piano. As the club is still young we have done nothing important up to date but we have great plans for the future. We are studying at each meeting the works of some great composer, various members giving reports, thus making it more in- teresting. Such things, our instructor and sponsor, Mrs. Dorris, tells us, will help us to enjoy and appreciate our music more. In our club we are paired off. That is, two persons who have about the same playing ability and knowledge in music, play duets and take the same compositions. In all, we have planned and worked together until we feel we aie an inseparable group. We also feel we are going to accomplish much and in the long run be a great benefit to the school of which we are proud to be a part. rial! Hagti High School Orchestra Top Row—Charles Edgar Duncan, Trumpet; Clifford Kirby, Saxophone; James Heard, Cornet; Woodrow McDonald, Saxophone. Second Row—F. X. Schumacher, Trombone; Louise Golden, Clarinet; Pauline Condit, Piano; Leonard Teaster, Clarinet; Ray Limbaugh, Violin. This orchestra has no director, but it is very progressive. It has played several times before the public and is willing to play at any time. Of course, the orchestra has trials and troubles as all orchestras do. It is composed of high school and three grade school students. The violinist, one cornetist and one clarinetist come from grade school. The orchestra was organized more for the purpose of learning to play with each other; however, these school musicians finally found out that they could play together and proceeded to play when they were asked. These musicians have high ideals and hope really to be able to live up to their ambition “To be the successors of Paul Whiteman.” Pep Peppers H—H—Hay—y—y—yti. That’s the way to spell it, Here’s the way to yell it, Hayti. The first real pep squad of H. H. S. was organized in this year '29 and ’30. We organized and christened ourselves the “Pep Pep- pers.” Each Wednesday night we had regular meetings, sponsored by Mrs. Katherine Nethery, and yell leader, Alice Holt. We were com- posed of members from Freshman class to Senior class, and ranged in number from one to twenty. The pep squad accompanied our football team on practically every game. On all occasions, whether the score was 40 to 0 in our favor or vice versa, we kept yelling. Sometimes results were notice- able and the score would climb, but whether it did or not, we kept our pep, seeming to delight in the sound of our voices. With the opening of basket ball season the “Pep Peppers” were there ready for action, cheering our girls and boys on to victory. We endured defeat and rejoiced in victory. Just as sure as our team seemed to lag and lose hope, the “Pep Peppers” of old H. H. S. were there ready to boost them on. All games during the season and all tournaments were attend- ed by all or some members of Pep Peppers, and no matter how small the number, our teams could hear the Pep Peppers busy yelling. K G.

The initials were 0. G. G. The whole school tried to guess the name, and finally il leaked out and was known as Our Gos- sip Gang. Then we had to find another name. A name could not be decided upon so they just call it anything —first one thing and then another. But it is known most widely as E. G. T. This name remains a secret in spite of some of the wild guesses that have been turned in. The purpose of the club is to show all the girls a good time and give them something to do. We can say that it is fulfilling its pur- pose down to a T, and we hope that it continues to do so as long as school goes on. fiWHiBiWKSHiKSiraHiKifiaiSW SSifitfilfilfiifiifiifiififfiifiifiSifiifiifiifiifi!

MOTTO: Make ready the hope(less) chest FLOWER: Bachelor Button COLORS: Black and Yellow Allie Holt (Pres.), Nellie Gotcher (Sec.-Treas.), Mrs. Susie Sigler (Sponsor). During the month of January the sewing class decided to or- ganize as a sewing club, that they might better enjoy sewing by having a longer time to sew. It was also planned to have a social at least once a month at the home of one of the members. The purpose of the club, of course, is to make things that are useable now' or that may be put away in the hope (hope-lessI chest. Some articles that have already been made are dresses, smocks, slips, night gowns, kimonos, coolie coats, bathrobes, pajamas, fancy work and lingerie. The aims of the members in the Sewing Club are varied. Some are planning to be seamstresses in theatrical dress designers’ shops in New York, others are going to be old maids, who live alone and will do their own sewing, but with this group of girls by far the greatest majority have marriage as their chief aim and the hope chest as the object of the Sewing Club. We plan to meet again five years from the time school is out. By that time w'e probably will know' whether or not each has made a success of her aim. Debating Club Negative Speakers ALMA JEAN MORGAN IVAN ALLEN Our debating Club was organized in early October, with about 20 or 25 members enrolled. Not much practice in debating start- ed (most time was spent in studying the art of debating) until time was set for our debate with Caruthersville. We worked on the debate question “Resolved That Buying Personal Property on the Installment Plan, as is Now Practiced in the United States, is Both Socially and Economically Desirable”, so strongly that we really be- lieved that it was the best way to buy property—we had the affirma- tive side. Our debate at Caruthersville was December 21, 1929. The af- firmative side was represented by Misses Nellie Gotcher and Boonie Miller. Although we defended ourselves bravely, we were defeated. When we were notified that we had the negative side of our debate with Holland, we began once more to work whole-heartedly, not disappointed, but determined to win this next debate. Our affirm- ative speakers aided the negative speakers by tearing down points, etc., showing them their weak points that they might better them and make them stronger. Our negative speakers, Alma Jean Morgan and Ivan Allen, put all they had into the debate and won against Holland by a unanimous decision. This was the last debate of the season. Even though we lost out in the county, we know that we have obtained some very interest- ing material which will be valuable to us in the future.

Schumacher, Mattie Coleman, Alma Jean Morgan, MOTTO: Pergo et Perago COLORS: Roman Purple and Cold Our Latin club was organized in November. The second year Latin class compose this club. A constitution and by-laws were writ- ten and read to the members. At each meeting of the club, which is once every six weeks. The club goes through its meeting in regular form; all business is transacted first, and a specially prepared pro- gram follows. These programs consist of material which we do not have time for in class and enables us to get a better view7 of the cul- tural life of the Romans. At each meeting captains are selected who choose sides. The side that makes the highest average of grades is entertained the following meeting by the losing side. This is an in- centive to the pupils to do a higher standard of work. After the regular meeting these students have their fun of eat- ing and having a good time. This club of ’30 intends to initiate the second year Latin class of next year into the club at the beginning of next year. That class will then carry on the laws and the older members will be honorary members. Each member of the ’30 club plans to contribute to the Latin depaitment miniature reproductions of Roman civilization.

MOTTO: “Actions speak plainer than words.” COLORS: Orchid and Gold FLOWER: Lilac The Gold Shield Dramatic Club was very suddenly organized by Miss Sutherland, on request of the students, on Friday, January 17, 1930. All members were eligible except the Freshmen, although this was not done to make them feel hurt. The purpose of this club was to give the students training and experience in Dramatic work, also to give those who wei'e not in class plays a chance to see what it was like and to get experience in Dra- matic work. There were forty-five charter members, but all who did not pay dues after two months time had lapsed, were excluded from the club. There are now twenty-eight members remaining. There are five new members who were elected into the club and are now subject to initiation. There have been no plays or parties given as yet by the club, but we are sure that the club will make a name of fame before the school year is over. Daphna..... Reba Hollie .

Congratulations It has been a pleasure for the staff of The Democrat-Argus to work with and for the staff of The Council in preparing and issuing their 1930 volume. We have found these boys and girls the high type of American young manhood and womanhood which marks their superiority over most peoples of the world. Our relations have been most pleasant with them and their sponsors and in addition to the pleasure we feel in turning out a work which will take its place alongside the works of art coming from any press, a volume of which we and they, we are sure, may justly feel proud, the contact with the young folk, with all the people of the school, has added to the enjoyment of the task. In completing and presenting to the Hayti High School their 1930 Council we congratulate the student body and the school as a whole upon the excellent work performed by their representatives who have edited and prepared its various departments and commend the business men for their splendid cooperation in making it possible for the school to present to the public this monument to its work during the term of 1929-30.
