OFFICERS President Ervin Ade Vice— pre sident Charles Henry Secretary-treasurer Edward Fisher Sergeant-at-arms John Hughes The Hi— Y Club opened the year by holding a series of six open meetings at the Y. M» C. A. for the purpose of acquainting boys in the upperclasses of the high school with principles of the club. Meetings were held every Wed- nesday evening at the Y.at 7:15 o ' clock. A new system was inaugurated this year for talcing new members into the club. Under this new plan the entire list of candidates voted secretly for forty members. Of these forty, thirty were chosen and admitted into the club. Five things were taken into consideration in choosing new mem- bers: Attendance at the oix meet- ings, standard of scholarship, church spirit, citizenship, and at- titude toward the Hi-Y Club. Counsellors for the Club were Mr. Bucher and Mr. Eberhart. Srvin Ade, president, chose a financial committee consisting of Richard Willis, chairman, William Raver, Robert Sayle , and Frederick Hosier. The program committee, which functioned throughout the year, was composed of William All- man, chairman, Casper Borst, John Lengel, and Carlton Finney. The first activity attended by members of the club was the Older Boys Conference, an annual event, held at Michigan City, November 31 and December 1 and 2, which was at- tended by several members of the Huntington Club.

Goodness, wonder ? hat all this whispering and giggling is about? Let me think. Oh yes, I might have known. Tonight the Ei-Y boys en- tertain the Sunshine girls at a meeting in the auditorium. ' Course there will be a big crowd, as they always put on a spicy program. Don ' t tell me we are going back to the hair ribbon era. But from all appearances it is the truth. During Freshmen Y eek all Freshman girls were required t,o wear green hair ribbons so that they could be indentified. we couldn ' t indentify them green hair ribbons.) At the end of the week (As if v;ithout swim- ming party was held at the hotel. Both big and little sisters attend- ed the party. Oh yes, almost for- got, a Big and Little sister tea was held in Miss Alice Kline ' s room for the Freshman girls. A party was given for all Freshman girls February 5, at the Huntington Theatre. The picture was Little ' Vomen, by Louisa May Al- Cott. Plenty of Sunshiners walked out with tear stained faces. The Sunshine initiation for the second semester Freshmen was held February lb, with Helen Cull, the president, presiding. After initiation, the friendship ring was formed by joining hands, standing around the auditorium, and singing Blest Be The Tie That Binds . Im- mediately following there was a Valentine tea held in the library for the mothers. What are all those girls doing? It looks as if they are putting nobis Into lockers—— cnd girls lockers at that I Some are putting in packages, too. Of course, it is their peanut I , hat am I ta Iking about? Why this is Sunshine eek. Every girl drew a name, and whoevsr she drew, was her peanut Cute? I think so. Each day of the week she was to write her a note or do something for her. Sounds great. Monday xir.s ob erved as Hello 1, day with the Music and Big and Little Sister coixuttees in charge. Tuesday was courtesy day for the entire school, ' . odn.jsday was Charm or Personality day. Thursday was auditorium for the benefit of those who wanted to learn about Leader- ship. And Friday was to have been a cooperative banquet given by the Sunshiners for the Hi-Y members But due to the operetta, it woo postponed. Imagine the disappoint- ment of the girls, also the boys. Ooh, dear, I ' m so tired. And tomorrow I ' ll be awakened at six o ' clock as the annual sunrise Eas- ter service under the r.uspices of the Hi-Y and Sunshine vail be held. 18

ttt ' tf- hi Viz Mil if ±q September 15 Attention! Ladies and Gentle- men} Attention! So spoke Mr» Byers , the Ringmaster, in our first Auditorium-Circus held on Sop- t ember 15. We were spectators at a Three- Ring Performance that day. The first act v;as good; the Circus Band under the direction of Mr, Weesner, played several numbers. A novelty composition was played in which the audience had a part , echoing the Band » s ha -ha -ha • s . Then the Circus Clown (Wr. Day) took the floor. The Ring- master didn ' t want him to show off very much, either-. Anyway, our Clown said something about yell- leaders trying out at the next game. But the last act was best. The Lion Trainer (Mr. Bucher, you know) explained about the funda- mental football rules. Then he brought out some of his Lions from the team (Charles O ' dier, William Winters, Kenneth Beerbo T ;.er, and J. D. Davidson) to demonstrate the Trainer ' s expl anation. Thus the first Circus Performance ended. October 6 We had another Show on Friday, October 6, in the form of a pep session. Four new members v ere initiated into the Troupe to-day. They were the Barkers (yell-leaders to you) and consisted of Zelma Hillegas, Mable Kohr, Charles Glass, and Robert Foster. They showed us that they had been wisely chosen. And do you know what? Our Little Clown was promoted since the Band Director ' s illness. So now the poor man has to act as Circus Band Director, too. Just imagine a clown in that capacity! He direct- ed the Band in several selections and showed us he could take it. (We showed him we could too.) Of course the Trainer told us some more about the football rules (A little Freshman girl was heard saying how good looking he was.) The same animals helped in this second demonstration. And did they know their tricks! Please leave the auditorium (or should it be tent?) as you have been instructed, said the Ring- master. So we did, naturally. October 27 The presentation on October 27 was a worthwhile one; it was in the form of a pep session for the Home- coming game. The Barkors perform- ed and the Circus Band played several marches. (The Clown was still directing.) Then several new Troupers were introduced — an Assistant-Trainer (Mr. Johnson) and a Ticket- taker (Mr. Michaels, of course I ) They both gave pep talks that were inspiring, but do you V vc. 4 A- TV
