Bell, Bee, Watson Ripley, Knobel, Hazzard, Miss Riani, LeFever, Knapp, Burdick Dreams Walliing Hobbies and Sports were chosen as the theme of the Tri-Y programs this year. This club, composed of twenty junior and senior girls, tries each year to find a program that appeals to both athletic and quieter members. Basketball, volley-ball, and square dancing amused the girls after every other meeting during the year. The Tri-V boys played volley-ball with them several times and also square danced with the girls. To help better community life, which is an aim of the members, they cooperated with the Tri-V Club and sponsored a Thanksgiving Food March. The results were tables full of appetizing food and nearly twenty-five baskets which were delivered to the poorer families in Homer. On the twentieth of February, the girls helped the Library, Tri-V Club, and Leisure Hour Club sell tags to buy new books for the Phillips Free Library. Over one-hundred and thirty-five dollars were raised by their combined efforts. The officers who guided the club members during the first half of the year were: president, Anna LeFever, vice-president, Betty Hazzard, secretary, Janice Knobel, treasurer, Katherine McEvoy, chaplain, Dorothy Buckley, gift chairman, Ruth Buckley, ways and means, Patty Briggs, program chairman, Clara Knapp, and News reporter, Alma Burdick. The ofiicers for the second semester were: president, Betty Hazzard, vice-president, Bea- trice Watson, secretary, Shirley Smith, treasurer, Ruth Buckley, chaplain, Virginia Ripley, gift chairman, Dorothy Buckley, ways and means, Patty Briggs, program chairman, Georgia Bell, and News reporter, Alma Burdick. Miss Riani advised the Club. l23l

Briggs Flatfeet One minute before the bell rings for the end of class, one minute before the signal for one o'clock when the students come upstairs, the hopping, running, and Walking of feet is heard in the halls. It's the Traffic Patrol, brandishing their silver badges, going to their posts. Their job is to see that no one runs up the stairs or tries to use the wrong Bight and, in general, to con- trol the raging mob of Homer Academy students. The patrolmen, like the most of us, enjoy dancingg and therefore this November, the twenty-eighth, they sponsored a Policeman's Ball in the gym. The novel decorations of small and large policemen figures, a traflic light and police department signs, transformed the gym into a policeman's world. The dance was a social highlight. The patrol arranged for a mixer after the McGraw game on February 6. This mixer proved to add money to the treasury of the club and joy to the hearts of the jitter-bugs. The officers who led the club this year were captain, Gerald McEvoyg lieutenant, Reginald Milesg secretary, William Evans, and inspector, Leo Costello. Mr. Wolner was their adviser.

29 Footloose and F aney Free Twenty powerful men -That's the Tri-V! Small in number this club makes up for that by being one of the most active clubs in school. After electing their new members, the boys had a party with the Tri-Y girls in the Home- making rooms. The new members of both clubs furnished the entertainment, movies, and re- freshments, ice cream and cookies. The Thanksgiving Food March, an annual event, resulted in twenty-five baskets with a value of nearly eighty dollars being distributed to the less-fortunate people in Homer. Following the trend of the times, a Book Drive to obtain books for the men in our fighting forces was sponsored. A total of one hundred fifty books, fourteen Life magazines, and forty Readers' Digests were collected. They also helped the Phillips Free Library sell tags to obtain money to buy new books. On the more frivolous side of the picture, the boys had a Christmas party with ice cream sundaes and played basketball in the gym. They had a mixer, after the Marathon game, which proved to be a success, and after their business meetings, the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, they either played volley-ball, danced, or amused themselves with basketball. Their oflicers for the year were: George Miller, presidentg Earl Stannard, vice-president, Kenneth Greene, secretary, and Melvin Allis, treasurer. Mr. Herney was the club's adviser.
