.v-lr Enya' JH-W INCE it was with the Boys' Club that the I-Ii-Y movement began, it is fitting that we tell something of its origin. In a majority of the leading high schools of the Nation there are I-Ii-Y Clubs. This worthy organization was begun in America and the world as a junior division of the Y. M. C. A. Because the high school age is the time when emphasis should be placed on the three-fold development-Mental, Physical and Spiritual -the Y. M. C. A. furnished an opportunity for this development by organizing the I-Ii-Y for boys, and through its influence Girls' l-Ii-Y was begun. I-li-Y was first organized in Martinsville by Dr. Reed in 1930. This year, Robert Draper, our president, has worked diligently to uphold the Hi-Y standards and to make the Club's accomplish- ments worth while. Glenwood Lawing, vice president, and Norman Schreibfeder, secretary, C. Givens C. Lester D. Broaddus E. Fontaine F. Cross G. Lawing H. Whittle E. Ford J. Hodges J. D. Whitlow J. Townes K. Fischel N. Schreibfedcr O. Easley R. Draper R. Stultz E. Wood S. Whittle B. Brown R. Saunders G. Hollilield B. Thompson have ably assisted Robert, while Kenneth Fishel has taken care of all Financial matters. Mr. IVlcCehee, Mr. Samples and Mr. Brooks have been our sponsors. The Club engaged in a number of worth- while activities: Gave Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to the poorg a donation to the relief of war prisoners, 3510 to Community Chest, obtained mirrors for each wash room, Best-Girl Picnic and the annual Father and Son Banquet. Each month, the boys' and girls' clubs attended church in a body and the week before Easter, the I-Ii-Y members and any other students who desired to attend met in the auditorium for their most inspirational pre-Easter programs. It seems quite appropriate to conclude the story of our activities with the benedic- tion of I-Ii-Y- Create within us a clean heart, O God, and renew the right spirit within us.

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.

M4 GMA large organization is the Library Club, With forty-Hve members to raise a hub-bubg We meet and discuss what each one reads, And try to solve the Library's needs. We check books in and check books out, That we work Cand playj theres not a doubt g We straighten the shelves and water the plants, And working with Reference keeps us busy as ants. At times, we publish a paper on books, The Bookworm is worthy of critical looks, Spotswood's the editor, and she does it well, Edwards her assistant, as his illustrations tell. Doris runs the copies by ditto magic, She did it once with the result quite tragic. The president is famous for beauty and Grace, She leads the Drum and Bugle Corps at a merry paceg Frances Turner presides if the presidents away, She does her work well-with little to sayg Lena Moore keeps the records and calls the roll, Walker Weaver Walpcrt Widdows Atkins Walton Wood Berlin Broaddus Campbell Ch D.

Book Week comes but once a year, But it's the highlight of Bookish Cheer, We gave a Beauty Pageant of lovely heroines Ushered from Bookland by the Chesterfield Twins, With such a gorgeous array of beauty, The judges completely forgot their duty. After the pageant we had guests for tea, The number present was a sight to see- In February we held a School Hobby Fair The exhibits shown were both curious and rare, The blue ribbon was won by the Morse Brothers - With keen competition by many others, A miniature circus was on parade Complete in detail, except for pink lemon- adef' Second honor fell to Edward Wood I-lis drawings are under-rated by the adjective good, There were other collections of stamps and things, From elephants and coins to odd-shaped rings, The Library Club is up-and coming, We get things done and keep them humming.
