HI-Y The 1942 Hi-Y is streamlined to meet the ideals of the democratic way of living. .Although Y. M. C. A.'s were in existence in high schools as early as 1889, the organization named Hi-Y dil not make its appearance until 1911. The McCook chapter was started in 1928. To stimulate high standards of Christian character is the purpose of Hi-Y and this is accomplished by clean living, clean speech, clean athletics, and clean scholar- ship. The McCook chapter is made up of junior and senior boys under the leader- ship of Bill Carroll, president, Grif De- May, vice president, and Jack Young, treasurer. DRAMATICS CLUB At the beginning of the second semester all those interested in dramatics were eligible to become members of the dramatics club. The club is divided into several committees: costuine, bulletin bogril, play reading, direciing, casting, advancement, and program. The club con- ducts several projects, such as lighting, mod-el making, production, acting, make- up, and play writing. The Juniors gave t'Evcr Since Eve for their class play a nd the Seniors gave American Pass- Qcrt as theirs. A one-act play, t'Hugo In A Hurry, was presented by the Dramatic Club to the High School at an assembly. k Y nf' Grif DeMay, Bill Carroll, Front row: Phil James, Jack Horn, Jac ou g,, Eldon Jaguers Chet Balius.
