Throughout the year Hi-Y members undertook tasks which were beneficial to themselves and to the school. They also enjoyed various social functions and a number of interesting programs. Early in the year the club members served as ushers at the football games and the mid-term play, During the winter they sold Berry Booster pins, held a chili supper, organized the Line of Dimes for the infantile paralysis drive, and sponsored a dance after a game. In the spring the Hi-Y held a father and son banquet and also shared in the annual joint Hi-Y-Hi-Tri meeting, at which both clubs put on interesting programs. For the first time in years the Logansport chapter became active in state and national Hi-Y affairs. A majority of the Logansport club attended the conference of the sixth Hi-Y district, held at Purdue University on October 18. On March 13 the spring conference was held at Logansport. The theme of the program was Mastering Democratic Principles through Hi-Yf' The principal speaker was Dr. Robert Lafollette, head of the social science department at Ball State. His talk on 'Making Democracy Work', was a source of inspira- tion to all. Two hundred boys representing twenty schools attended this second district meeting. Hi-Y officers for the year were joe Nagle, president: Bob West, vice-presidentg Dick Jerry, secretary, A1 Crain, treasurerg Glenn Mather, chaplain, and Jack Wild, sergeant .lt arms.

After surviving a unique initiation-an initiation with 3 literary touch, which left Ben johnson and Shakespeare strangely associated in their minds with red grease paint-the 1947 members of the Literary Club started their activities with the election of Diamond Benson, president, Marilyn Elpers, vice-president, and Phyllis Coble, secretary-treasurer, in prepara- tion for carrying on the traditional projects of the club. These projects included purchasing several books for the high school library and writing and editing the club's Literary Mag- ' ,S avme. Sue Custer was editor of the magazine with Tom Crowe, Pat 'Miller, and Jackie Grant as her assistants. Marilyn Elpers was appointed typist for the publication, and Carolyn Frey was chosen to design the cover. The selections published were talcen from the writing the twenty-five members had done either in class or during their leisure time. In choosing books for presentation to the library, instead of taking a membership in the Book-of-the-Month Club, as had been the custom, the 1947 group made its selections through a committee ad- vised by Miss Baade. The committee consisted of Phyllis Coble, George Loner, Joe Nagle, and Becky Hill. The club met the hrst and third Monday of each month with their sponsor, Miss Hartz, to develop their individual writing ability and their appreciation of good literature through extemporaneous writing, quizzes, and reports on favorite literary works. These programs wierc planned by Donna Morris, Dick Terry, and Carolyn Frey. Special events of the year were swimming parties and a picnic. The club ended the year's activity by choosing the sen- iors who ave to compose the 1948 membership and starting them on the road to adventure in reading. Page Twenty One

WWW On the last Monday of the month it is not uncommon to see a senior boy, dressed in his best bib and tuclcer, walking down the hall, mumbling to himself, It's just a student Rotarian, practicing his speech to be given for the Logansport Rotary. R-O-T-A-R-Y-that spells Rotatyl'--every Monday these words from their favorite song can be heard issuing from Rotary's meeting place in the Barnes Hotel. These meetings are attended, for a period of a month at a time, by two senior boys selected on the basis of their scholastic ability and their participation in school activities. This program, which Rotary has carried on for years, is both entertaining and educational for the student members. Besides enjoying a free meal each week, and becoming well acquainted with the business men of the town, student Rotarians are able to see how an adult organization is conducted. Furthermore, they share in the interesting and entertaining programs which are held at the meetings. This year the programs included speeches on such varied topics as schools in Japan, the care and products of forests, and the agricultural situation in the United States. At other times there were debates, musical programs, and demonstrations of various devices. Throughout the year the student members were privileged to take part in the various social functions of the club. In December they were invited to bring their girls to the annual Rotary Christmas banquet. At the end of year, all the student Rotarians and their Rotary-Anns attended a banquet given by Rotary in their honor.
