H i - Y ..,-.g35..,. lcd by Bob Mortensen, President: Bill Carpenter, vice-Presidentg Ed Sleder, Secre- taryg and Vern Dahlquist, Treasurer, the Hi-Y tried to live up to the club's ideals- to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community the standards of Christian char- acter. Under the eagle eye of lVIr. Egizii, the fellows really were active this year. Among other things, a few of them rolled up their sleeves, and armed with scrub brushes, rags and the like, took the risk of clisdpan hands to get the Rec Room ready for its paint job. They donated the ping-pong table that is so popular down there. Several of the boys took a jaunt uo to Mar- quette for the Older Boys' Conference in November. Our own Eel Sleder was elected vice-President of the conference that is to be here this year. To boost their financial status a little the Hi-Y sold Christmas candy. At all the games this year we could smfll the coffee brewing in the Hi-Y trailer where they sold pop, candy, and such reinforcements. The boys also helped collect money for the Community Chest. Then there were a few parties dotting the so- cial calender. The club joined the Girl Reserves in a Christmas party when they put on a witty skit about Santa Claus that really went over in a big way. There was a picnic at Crystal Lake in the fall and another one with the Kingsford clubs in April. Brh Mn tznscn, Bill Carpenter.

Speech Club ,.g.., Organized last year, the Speech Clubs main purpose is to encourage a desire for rhetoric Cwhich, by the way, is defined by Webster as being the power to charm and to influence . . . through correct and forceful language, that is!J among high school students, and to interest those who are outstanding in this art to take an active part in its activities. Who knows?-we may have a second Patrick Henry among us! The winners in the oratorical declamtion section of the local speech contest held during the Dramatic and Speech Workshop Hour the week of April 5th-9th, were Louise Nicholls, with her presentation of All This and Heaven Too, and Bill Strong with Our Second Chance. Beverly LaHaie, The Telltzle Heart , and Pat Yeadon, The Black Cat, took honors in the dramatic declamation. Unless one has given a speech, he cannot imagine what the word nervous means! Picture yourself standing before an expectant audienceg you have your speech down pat, but all of a sudden your mind is a complete blank! Your beaming expression vanishes, the audi- ence begins to squirm. Ah yes, it's all in learning the art of correct speech. Top honors in the original oration group went to Bill Marcou and his The Rise of a New Philosophyf' and to Bill Carpenter's One World or Two? . The above students, of whom we are very proud, represented good old Iron Mountain High in the district contest held at Menominee on April 16th. Other participants in the oratorical reclamation group were Jean Martin, who gave t'For Whom the Bell Tolls g Joanne Sesanerio, Our Brother's Keeper g Ann Cohodas, To- morrow's World g Shirley Miller, Wake Up, American: Mary Kay Bluem, who gave Tous- sant L'Overture g and Jeanette Bozile, who poke on Joan of Lorraine . Also participating in the dramatic declamation group were Lana Weber, with Dark Victory , and Donna Dagger, who presented Yellow Wallpaper . Presented with Webster's Collegiate Dictionaries, the district winners then partici- pated in the regional contest held at Gladstone in May. The winners of this regional contest won blue and maize banners for their schools' trophy cases. Those winners who went to Menominee were eligible for membership in the Speech Club, which is now composed of eight members. The speech directors, Mrs. Alma Matthewson and Mr. Ward Alquist, also served as judges at the local contest. Through their efforts the club enjoyed a most successful year. Page Fifty seven

That's right, the Girl Reserves! They aren't really as bad as all that though, because everyone pitched in to make this year something to remem- ber. In September sixteen candidates were initiated into the club at a formal ceremony followed by a rather wicked ordeal the next day as the school looked upon our pigtailed, makeupless initiates walking barefoot in the halls, handing out kleenex, etc. The first red letter date on the calender was the week of November 2-8, when the club went all out for the novel idea of f'Twirp Season . It was ladies' week, and every night there was a different date with something different to do, climaxing with a Sadie Hawkins dance. The girls' billfolds were really flat after all this, but they had so much fun that they want to make it an annual affair. On the more serious side and among com- munity services, the club joined the Hi-Y in packing Red Cross boxes. By selling candy they made money for the Rec Room, and sent a Christmas gift to the Houghton Good Will Farm. At the S. P. E. B. S. Q. U, A. CBarbershoppers to youl Meet, they had a con- cession stand ' Then there were those parties. How can we forget the Girl Reserve-Hi-Y Xmas party which was a housewarming for the Rec Room 7 And the picnic with the Kingsford clubs, and the overnight hike and the p. j. party. The speakers imported this season were Bill Johnson from WMIQ, who gave us the A B C's on radio: Mr. Poisson, who held a gym class: Mr. Guild, who showed movies, and Lorraine Payant, who gave some wonderful pointers on how to help the blind. This year the ring-leaders were Rosalie Fon- tana, Margaret Dundon, and Marge Battista. Under Miss Hofer's careful guidance, the club has completed the 23l'Ci yCZll' of its eXlSt9I1CQ in I. M. H. S.
