To create, maintain, and extend throughout this school and community, high standards of Christian character and to stand together for the four-square development of clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarships, and clean living, is the motto of this fine group. The Hi-Y Club of Leetsdale High School was originated in 1936 by Mr. Arthur Waugaman. It received its charter in 1937. The Sewickley chapter initiated our school's members in that same year. Since then, as a recognized club, initiation has been by the club's own members. The club is steadily increasing its membership of twenty-seven. It is larger than it has ever been. During the time that the Leetsdale Hi-Y Club has been in existence it has accomplished quite a bit. Its members have given assemblies, sponsored many campaigns, helped accomp- lish the goal of making a track for our track team. They have accomplished all these things, keeping in mind the ideals expressed in their creed- Clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. They are sincerely grateful to Mr. Waugaman, without whose aid, few of these things would have been possible. President .....,.. ...... J ames Barnhart Vice-Prcsirlent ...... ..........

511118078 ..... Miss Grace Hasson Mr. Paul Wohlgemuth This year the Leetsdale debate team entered the Forensic League debates, competing against a different group of schools than those they encountered last year. The schools this year were West View, Avonworth, and Coraopolis. From the beginning of the year the teams worked under the supervision of Mr. Wohlgemuth and Miss Hasson. They held practice debates with Ambridge, Beaver, and New Bright- on. The teams also participated in the debate department held at Slippery Rock. The students on the affirmative team were James Besong, first speaker, William McClick, second speaker, and William Bena, alternate. The negative team was composed of Clara Ruprecht, first speakerg Jane Thompson, second speaker, and Anna Hopta, alternate. Mr. Wohlgemuth and Miss Hasson act- ed as coaches for the teams. As none.of the present members are seniors probably the same team will represent the school next year in debates. People sometimes have a very peculiar idea of what it means to get out a weekly school paper. To us, the paper gives a sense of responsibility and enjoyment. Our reporters work quietly and gather news intelligently. With the Editor-in-Chief as presiding officer, the club members assemble every Monday afternoon to discuss any sug- gestions, criticisms, or new ideas. Assignments are then distri- buted, and all articles turned in not later than Tuesday after- noon. After correction, rough drafts are made on Wednesday. The editor enters into the picture again, checking all rough drafts, putting the paper together, and preparing all material for the final stencil work. Thursday morning the senior typing students set-up the most important copy of the news on stencils. They do their work carefully and accurately. Even then the proof-readers get their heads together trying very hard to find mistakes that might obviously creep in. They are then placed in the ok list and sent down to the business office for the finishing touches. The paper begins to roll and the finished pages come out in a continuous stream, are stamped, and distributed to students and friends. Editor-in-Chicf .... . . .
