THE MODULUS High and Dry UNDER the leadership of Frederick Hosier, President, Louis Lichtsinn, Vice-President, Willis Carroll, Secretary-Treasurer, and Max Ru- dicel, Sergeant-at-Arms, the Hi-Y resumed its ac- tivities for the coming year. The meetings are held regularly at the Y. M. C. A. once a week, either with a banquet or a busi- ness session. Several activities have been plan- ned for the organization to be carried out in the coming seasons. Among the first was the selling of programs at the Homecoming football game. These pamphlets gave the names of all the players, their weights, nuinbers, and all the other necessary information so all the girls were able to identify their flames under the disguise. Perhaps the most important of activities was the Older Boys ' Conference at Kokomo. Thanksgiving vacation. Many boys signified their intentions for going to the convention, but a few decided that a vacation was a rare privilege and to stay at home and catch up on their note- books and sleep. Those boys who really went were Louis Lichtsinn, Freeman Guest, George Streeter, Jack Circle, James Branyan, Robert Slater, Robert Barnhart, Hugh Hartman, Donald Snider, Billy Coolman Glenn Rickert and Keith Shock. Inspirations were floating around free, with some of the most noted speakers in the coun- t r y addressing the boys. Dr. Henry Crane, of Scranton, Penn- sylvania, was the main contributor on the program, with the other ones being Roy Sorenson, of Chi- cago, George Campbell, of St. Louis, and H. C. Herman, of New York. Besides the assemblies, there were group m e e t i n g S con- Hi-Y officers: Rud ducted by the older boys. The Huntington Clul asked for the convention next year, and the in- vitation was accepted by the representatives. The new members in the club this year are Clifford Miller, Kenneth Roudebush, Darwir Forst, Glenn Rickert, Cloyce Nichols Maurice Wright, Joe Moore, John Mc- Clure, James Meier, Robert Miller, Al- lan Meier, Jack Dick, Kenneth Fahl Donald Freehafer, Robert Bitner, anc Edwin Boyle.

THE MODULUS the life of any organization, and the Sunshine Society is no exception to this rule. One of the most profitable of money making schemes was selling Revue tickets. Mr. Day gave the Society Ihe right to sell these; and because of diligent work of the teams, who were headed by Helen Sparks, Charlotte Lowey, Colette Kindler, Ber- iiiece Hippensteel, Dorothy Hannon, Mary Farm- er, Ruth Robbins, Miriam Kiracofe, Helenjane Meier, and Berniece Brenn, much was cleared. A very lovely meeting was sponsored by the Social Committee. As outside talent, they brought :o the school Ethel Jean Weber who sang a solo ind Mary Louise and Louis and Mrs- Magdalena McEnderfer who entertained as a trio, two harps uid a violin. All meetings are not serious by any means, IS is illustrated by the Krazy Kat Theater meet- ng which was in the form of a Quaker meeting md a pantomime. As a conclusion to the pro- gram, every one sang some very crazy iongs. Rapidly passing from the humor- )us to the serious, the Thanksgiving ippreciation hour, given by the Relig- ous Committee at the Presbyterian ;hurch, was one of the most beautiful services ever given by the society. Mrs. Fempleton, the author of many inspir- ng speeches, gave a prayer which indeed caused nany a person to remember their many benefits. Musical selections were given by Dea Michael, Miss McMullan, the religious choir and a musical •eading by Dorothy Hannon. Mrs. Goodin, a 5unshine mother, gave the talk for the afternoon. Each year some charity is always the aim of :he girls, and besides the Needlework Guild, a sweater was given to a boy in the Irene Byron Home in Fort Wayne. At the recent death of f rthur Kiser, son of Mr. Riser, affectionately :alled Jim, the Sunshine girls were flower bear- ers. At one of the meetings of the Child Conser- ration League, several Sunshiners made a call md told the ladies about the purpose of the or- ganization and of its coming projects. Besides these, several outstanding activities, the society had fittingly remembered all of its members who were unable to attend school. The aim for each year is to spend approxi- mately seventy to eighty dollars for flowers, cards, and other remembrances to stay-a-beds. There are ten committees in the society : Re- ligious, Miss Altman, Miss Moore, Mrs, Temple- ton, and Miss Tyner as sponsors with Frances Doudna, chairman; Social, Miss Emma Kline, Miss Easter, Miss Leedy, sponsors, and Miriam Dumbauld, chairman; Dramatic, Miss Ridgway, and Miss Beatrice Brown, sponsors, with Berniece Hippensteel and Pauline Heiney, chairmen ; Mus- ic, Mrs. Branyan sponsor with Helen Sparks, chairman; also Miss McMullan and Mary Cather- ine Trovinger in charge of the Freshmen and Juniors, with Miss Watson and Mary Catherine Stoffel in charge of the Sophomores and Seniors ; Health, Mrs. Sayle and June Rarick; Athletic, Miss Miller and Margaret Baker; Needlework Guild, Miss Geraldine Brown and Wilda Mae Lu- cas; Costume, Miss Alwood, Miss Langley and Dorothy Hannon; Scrapbook, Miss Weiford, Miss Rupert, Miss Cage and Etta June Deeter; Art, Miss Gray and Margaret Goshorn ; Big and Little Sister, Miss Alice Kline and Helen Jane Cook. This year the Sunshine room has been taken care of by the different committees who were chosen at the Council Meetings. A schedule was made out by the week. Several new gifts have been added to ones given to the room. Some of the tentative projects of the year are : sales of Christmas wreaths, fruit cakes, and Senior name cards. Committees will be appointed for these plans, and it is hoped that these will be profitable not only in a representative way but also in a pecu- niary manner. The Sunshine Society has organized a cheer section for the basketball games. The member- ship is limited so that only the girls who are in- terested will be in the section. They are furnish- ed with megaphones that cost twenty cents and will be taken care of bv the yell leaders. Regular practices are held to learn new yeUs and how to use the megaphones in the most effective way. The Sunshine girls will sing Christmas car- ols on the eve of Yule day. Each year this is done to carry out the purpose of the organization — to spread cheer to the shut-ins. Sometimes many interesting things hanpen on these trips. Another new thing in the society is the Sun- shine Mail Bag. To those girls who are shut in for some time, letters are written bv the commit- tee in the club and put in a mail bag and taken to the invalid to be opened one a day. This way the news of the school is brought to the sick. December, 1930 Page Eleven

HE MODULUS Garl Rudicel 3Y two organizations, the pupils of Hunting- ton high school are duly represented. The ' arent-Teacher Association and the Student ouncil are the groups before which problems f the school are brought. As replica of the National „. , „ ongress, the Student Council ' as chosen and assembled to de- ide the weighty matters of the overnment of High School, ' he representatives and their Iternates were elected by spon- 3r groups. Max Rudicel was elected ' ' iee-President of the Student ouncil at the first meeting, here was some irregularity in the election be- iuse a president was not elected. Mr. Byers ' ill act as this officer since most of the work ctually falls on him. Jean Adams was chosen ) be secretary for the year. The members for the different sponsor 3oms are as follows: Elizabeth Ewing, Miss .lice Kline ; Kathryn Morrett, Mrs. Templeton ; acob Kitt, Miss Thraikill ; Frances Doudna, Miss eraldine Brown; Jean Adams, Miss Cage; Willis [osier. Miss Beatrice Brown ; Pauline Haneline, [iss Emma Kline ; Fred Dick, Miss Hoffman ; larl Wiley, Mr. Brown ; Tom Wasmuth. Miss upert ; Eleanor Beaver, Miss Moore ; Kenneth ;alzer. Miss Altman ; Joe Moore, Miss Weif ord ; .obert Brahs, Mr. Bucher; Wilma Lobdell, Miss ( ' atson ; Cloyce Nichols, Miss Tyner; Robert cher, Mr. Plasterer; Freeman Guest, Miss Mc- [ullan ; Max Rudicel, Miss Alwood ; Dick Book, Of-By-For The Pupils Miss Easter; Anna Louise Miller, Mr. Eberhart; Lyndon New, Mr. Mahoney. Two important committees were selected to help make the school have a better appearance. Wilma Lobdell, chairman ; Kathryn Morrett. Ken- neth Balzer and Anna Louise Miller compose the committee to look after the announcements on the boards. If the announce- ments are not erased soon after the news is stale this group will see tnat they are taken from the announcement place. This is to save some students from going to the meetings about a w. w. Lucas week late. The other committee is to take charge of the display case. Tom Was- muth, chairman ; Cloyce Nichols, Frances Doud- na, Joseph Moore, Dick Book, and Elizabeth Ew- ing make up this group. As was decided last year, there will be one way traffic on John street. The students are also asked to refrain from smoking in sight of the school building. At the first meeting of the Parent-Teachers ' Association, Garl Rudicel was elected president of the organization, with the other officers being, W. W. Lucas, vice-president, Mrs. C. U. Jackson, secretary, and Hale Bradley continued as treas- urer. The Association has done many valuable things in the past, such as buying uniforms for the band. As yet the organization has done noth- ing this year. At the first meeting, a very inter- esting lecture was delivered by Dr. 0. U. King on The Care of the Teeth.
