sophomore hi-y The Sophomore Hi-Y was a new club and was very small. This fact did not bother the hard-working members who undertook duties suitable for a larger club. One of these duties was to help the junior class raise money for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Collecting Blue Horse notebook-paper wrappers was their chief contribution to the cause. It was one of the duties of this Hi-Y club to raise the flag in front of the Winn Street building each morning. The boys cleaned the blackboards in the rooms of Winn Street. Some of them helped to monitor either of the two lunch rooms, The club wrote a new constitution, but it was not followed because the boys joined forces with the boys of the Senior Hi-Y. The collectors ot' the Blue Horse wrap- pers taboiiej are Harold King, Johnny MCCamy, Warren Hardage, and Tom- my Sisk. These were used to raise funds for the junior class. The constitution is be-in': written by Jimmy Carpenter tlcftj Billy Baird, vice president: William Martin: Mason Mobley, president: and Miss Rebecca Seagraves, advisor. All the YH clubs of Marietta High School sponsored the seven teen-talks that were presented in chapel for seven consecutive weeks. The speakers were people who were suited to speak on the designated subjects. These subjects pre- sented problems and solutions to many teen-age problems. The first speaker was Faine Chambers who spoke on parental relations in the home. Howard Ector, the second speaker in the series, discussed drinking. Reve- rend Segars of the First Methodist Church spoke on the stewardship of time, health. and character. Dr. Wilson explained the American Heritage. Dean Tate from the University of Georgia discussed the topic of follow- ing false ideals. Mrs. Langworthy read a letter concerning boy-and-girl relation- ship. The last speaker was Dr. Hender- son who spoke on Christian world citizen- ship. Money was raised for the junior class banquet by Jimmy Nickelson tleftbg Don Brooks, trea- surer: Richard Powell, and Jimmy Little.
