It was organized here in 1957, taking the place of Kayettes, and became affiliated with Kansas District in 1959. Projects: babysitting at PTA, Chili supper and program, world fellowship project, heart-sister week, planting of shrubs in school front, food sale, and mother- daughter tea. The Y-Teens also sponsored a Halloween party for the school. Among the many interesting programs was a talk by Valentine Dyck, foreign student at Tabor. In '59 and '60, the Y-Teens received a gold seal, the highest award given to Y-Teen clubs. HI-Y CABINET Mr. Cary, Sponsor; Caivin and Richard, Program; Dennis, Student Council Rep. Maynard, Vice-President and Program Chairman; Gerald, President; Reg, Secretary- Treasurer. Throughout this year the Hi-Y club has worked in various ways to fulfill its purpose of maintaining high standards of Christian character. The members of the club helped at the local church during remodeling. The club worked with the Y-Teens in the presentation of the holiday assemblies. A very interesting program schedule included talks by different faculty members and an illustrated talk on a trip to Haiti by Mr. King from Hesston. This page sponsored by the HI-Y and Y-TEEN CLUBS. DEBATE JUDY and JANET accept the third place trophy at Der- by, Oct. 17, with their biggest victory smiles. RESOLVED: THAT Reg, Richard, Andrea, Janet, and Judy listen to Mr. Juhnke at the district debate tournament where they placed third. The debaters completed another successful season this year under the direction of Mr. Juhnke. The prop- osition for debate was— Resolved: That the federal government should sub- stantially increase its reg- ulation of labor unions. They entered competition in eight tournaments, winning 64 debates and losing 55 altogether in competition with B, A, and AA schools. The experienced team won 45 and lost 24 debates. Lehigh is the smallest school in the state with a debate squad. Yet the debators won fifth at Haven, third place at Derby, and third place also at the district and state tournaments. The de- baters agreed that the season was enjoyable, educational, and very successful. BACK ROW: Andrea Koehn, Gladys Weinbrenner, Mr. Juhnke, Coach; Bill Juhnke, and Robert Hein. Novice debaters.
