Hi - y After our delayed initiation was held November 22, we started out the year with program and activity committees. Our activities consisted of an entertaining skit for Stunt Night and a Christmas dance held December 23. Among the yeor's programs were guest speakers and a Les Jeunes Filles- Hi-Y quiz. The officers were Richard Darrow, President; James Carroll, Vice-President; Maynard Brichford, Secretary; and Lon Wirtzberger, Treas- urer. Mr. Trescott was our adviser. This year an entirely new girls' club, called Les Jeunes Filles, was or- ganized for the purpose of encouraging school spirit and activities among the students of the high school. The officers for the year were Joan Wickert, President; Shirley Stanton, Vice-President; Marjorie Barry, Secretary; and Bonnie McClish, Treasurer. Chairmen of the standing committees for the year were as follows: Program, Elsie Mavko; Social, Ayne Mavko and Joyce Schmidt; Ways and Means, Margaret Keyse. Under the capable leadership of Miss Phillips and club members many worthwhile projects were carried out—scrapbooks were made for servicemen in rehabilitation hospitals, war bonds and stamps were sold, covers for Sraille textbooks were made, and a school newspaper was sponsored. To show appreciation for the hard work and effort put forth by the foot- ball team a Football Banquet was given for the boys at the end of the season. The club sponsored a Stunt Night program which was both enjoyable and profitable. The profits were divided among the Red Cross, the Athletic Association, and the Club. The Hi-Y boys were entertained by the Club with a party which was a great success. In the spring the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet was held and was very well attended. An active and successful year was brought to a close by a dance, given in April, for the student body. twenty-five
