rqcifluiiia Those several organizations outside of academic work, often not recognized as such, which contribute so much to giving a well-rounded education. G. 41 . JH-W HE purpose of the l-li-Y is To create, main- tain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian char- acter. We have -tried to keep this purpose in mind and to demonstrate it with our lives. At the monthly meetings, the Secretary, Elsie Minter, and treasurer, Inez Lester, ably supported by vice-president jane Stultz, have given their reports. Interesting programs related to l-li-Y work have been prepared for the Club by the chaplain, Doris Lester. One of which was the report of the president, Mary Taliaferro Parrish, on the State I-li-Y Con- ference which was held in Blacksburg. Besides rolling bandages for the Red Cross, we have given bountiful baskets both at Christmas and Thanksgiving to needy families, in one of which we have taken particular interest. The Santa Claus letters of the children of this family were answered with boxes of toys and enormous Christmas Stockings. During the latter part of the year, the Club took part in the Bible Study Course which was led by the Reverend Charles Fish- burne. This study course had as its topic, Attitudes of Youth. These lessons were used to present separately the subjects: Facing Difficulties, Winning Friends, l-ligh Opinions of Ourselves, Attitude To- ward Authorityf' Working Together with the Family, Our Attitude Toward Our Community, and Our Attitude Toward Cod. The entire membership of our Club is grateful for the leadership of Miss Cladys Miller and Miss Beulah Boyd who have con- tributed so much toward making our meetings and other club associations a more beneficial fellowship.

acteristic hustle and bustle and apple- nibblingf' Every one always recognized the mus- tached member of the teaching staff who eagerly desired that his students learn the facts of History and Economics, and also improve their attitudes. All that we know about the World War of '40-'41, we owe to Mr. McGehee- Again I say I want some cartoons Cand we slipped one from the bulletin board and proudly handed it overj. Miss Miller CMiss Anonymousj has in- stilled into us the love of books and caused the reading of them to be as pleasant as it used to be dreadful. I-low often have we heard, Pick up those feet, and, By the way, when are you going to pay me that two cents you owe me? Manual Training will always be associated with the competent Mr. Samples and his characteristic- Stop whistling, and run over to the lab and get me some acid. Miss Slate, the i'domestic member of the Faculty, the mainstay of the home eco- nomics cottage, sympathetically overlooked our clumsy attempts at biscuits and managed to help us improve them while she kept repeat- ing, Get quiet in the bedroom. Whawme MR. E. E. GIVENS We've loved all classes in Math with Miss Wray and all the good advice that Went with them. The rules for living which we've seen in her have always been practical and inspiring. When we heard the loud speaker click, every one got as quiet as a mouse-who could it be but Mr. Wiebel with- Notice, teachers, have all tardy students report to Teacher So-and-So. We shall always remember his efforts in helping us to arrange our schedules and to solve our many problems. When we heard, I want to see this Glee Club get down to work, we knew it was none other than our Superintendent and Principal, Mr. Givens, who has provided every oppor- tunity for our education, and has arranged our school life for the best interest of all, Mr. Thos.

Rap! of the gavel, we know it is our president, Nancy Draper, calling us to order to say in unison the four C's of our Club- Clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship and clean liv- ing. What better platform could an individual or a club have for developing true Christian character? During this year, Ernestine Stultz and Grace Alexander, program chairmen and vice presidents of the club, have arranged pro- grams on Honesty, Fair Play, The Colden Rule, and other topics. Clara Mae Hopkins, the chaplain, has taken charge of the devotionals each Monday evening. Min- utes have been kept in perfect order by Anne l-lolt, while Katherine Berlin has held the strings to the money bag. The true Hi-Y spirit has been shown this year by the deeds of the Club, A family was adopted to whom baskets were sent all during the year, with special packages at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Besides helping the family, the members of the Club helped to roll 500 bandages for the Red Cross Relief Work, and sent Christmas boxes to soldiers in a Red Cross Hospital. Every one thoroughly enjoyed the final activity of our l-li-Y year-our Mother- Datighter Banquet. At this inspirational event last year, we celebrated the tenth anniversary of the foundation of our Club, and Mrs. Irving Ramsey, the sponsor of the first Hi-Y organization here, gave its history and praised the growth of l-li-Y in Martinsville. We, the members of the Hi-Y Club, take pleasure in announcing that Ruth Groves was elected as State President for the year 1941, and that the conference over which she is to preside will be held here in the fall! We sincerely hope that our sponsors, Miss Wray, Miss Bell and Miss Ellett, will be with us and help us to make this the best conference ever.
