What Is The Dearest Thing In Life.7 What is the dearest thing in life. What counts the most with you. Your money and your title, Or the things you like to do? Don't let your pleasures ruin you: Don't think they're all you need. Because the things most precious Are often things we never heed. We forget the many blessings Bestowed on us each day, Forget our little duties Spread all along the way. We're all too selfish with our smiles. Too generous with our frowns, Too slow to give encouragement When our friends are down. So find the better things of life Before you’ve grown too old, Remember our real treasurers Are things that can't be sold. Senior Girl.

HI-Y ORGANIZATION T he Hi-Y Club of Madison High has enjoyed its best year since organi- zation. New features were added to the Club which aided materially in boost- ing the attendance. Of the many achievement attained by the Club, the most important was the organization of a Junior Hi-Y under the sponsorship of Mr. Seamon. A Fellowship Supper was given at the Y. M. C. A. in Granite City, under the auspices of the local club, and a Stunt Night, in which all classes participated, was sponsored by the Hi-Y boys. The latter will be an annual affair. As usual the Club held a 4 C's Campaign and the speakers obtained were Mr. Attig. who spoke on, Clean Speech ; Mr. L. Larson, who discussed, Clean Scholarship”; Mr. Walsh, coach at St. Louis University, who talked on, Clean Athletics ; and Mr. G. N. Potter, whose address was on. Clean Living. The members also enjoyed several camping trips to Camp Taconic. Officers for the first semester were: President, Vasil Vasileff; Vice- President, Leonard Miller; Secretary-Treasurer, Adam Zentgraf. Those chosen for the second semester were: President, Leonard Miller; Vice-President, Paul Connole; Secretary-Treasurer, John Prince. JOURNAL CLUB T he first Journal Club of the Madison High School was organized in the early part of October, 1930. The officers were as follows: Marian Harlan, President: Fred Riddle, Vice-President; Pansy Williams, Secretary; Helen Harsbany, Treasurer. T he purpose of the club was to encourage journalism among high school students. T he club met each Wednesday evening for discussion. Essays, poems, short stories, editorials and songs were written and sent to the School Times, a school paper published by the St. Louis Times. All of the material which was sent to the Times was accepted and published. Marian Harlan was the staff correspondent and proved to be very efficient. Although the members of the club feel that they have been benefited, they hope to accomplish a great deal more next year. Page Twenly-one
