The purpose of this organization is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. The Hi-Y of 42-43 has tried to fulfill this purpose to the best of its ability. Although the members lacked a sponsor and a clubroom during part of the first semester, we think they have done a wonderful job. The officers elected to head the club in its activities during the school year were: John Keilman, President; Gordon White, Vice-President; Bob Saager, Secretary; Floyd Homeier, Treas- urer ; Louis Gruel, Sergeant-at-Arms ; and Bob Wineland, Re- porter. Pending the withdrawal of John Keilman from school, Lester Shults was elected President. The activities of the club for the year have been a style show, put on in cooperation with the G. A. A., and a carnival. Under the appreciated supervision of Mr. Irvin during the last semester, we think the activities succeeded exceptionally well. Thirty-One

Miss Norma Goble, who is the sponsor, should receive much credit for assisting the girls. The officers elected were: President Kathleen Beck Vice President Eleanor Fossey Secretary Betty Welches Treasurer Beth Gable Reporter Evelyn Maihofer Many committees were chosen to perform certain duties that were essential in organizing this club such as the drafting of a blank constitution to be filled in by popular voting. The name chosen for the club was ‘‘The Home Economics Rainbow,” using the colors of the rainbow with the following motto, “Find Your Place in the Rain- bow and Strive to Reach the Pot of Gold.” The students of M. H. S. saw many strange-looking characters wandering about the halls on initiation day. Some girls wore formals, mismated shoes and sock, or overalls ; while others wore their clothes inside out. The girls put in many more comical appearances with curlers, lopsided lipstick, and make-up liberally ap plied over their faces. The officers were installed by a formal ceremony, everything being arranged very attractively and in harmony with our club name and colors. We plan to go forth strongly with our club work and make it a successful foundation for a very active future organization. Thirty
