A STEP TOWARD SENIOR HI-Y THE JUNIOR HI-Y GETS TOGETHER Although this is just the fourth year for the Junior Hi-Y, there was an enrollment of fifty-one. The Junior Hi-Y was organized to prepare the Freshmen and Sophomores for the Hi-Y. These fellows try to improve our school in any way they find possible, provide high ideals for members and promote good fellow- ship. The Senior Hi-Y is their friendly rival when it comes to a football or basketball game. These two clubs join together to give athletic trophies for outstanding ability and achieve- ment of the year. They consider themselves very lucky to have Coach Demaree as their sponsor. The of- ficers for the year were: Ronnie Youngkin, President: Don Barclay, Vice-President; Don Mills, Sergeant-at-Arms; Ted Roessing, Secre- tary and Treasurer. 1 5

S UNSHINERS CELEBRATE GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY Crawfordsville, where Sunshine originated., in Indiana, was chosen as the appropriate place to hold our State Convention, which was held in celebration of our fiftieth Anniversary. This year we spread our Sunshine by pre- paring food baskets for the needy on Thanks- giving, dressing dolls for the poor at Christmas time, and singing some of the favorite Christ- mas Carols at the Parramore Hospital. We also contributed money to the Riley Fund, which helps finance the James Whitcomb Riley Hos- pital. In May we honored our mothers and the ladies, whom we chose as our ideals, at the Mothers’ and Ideal Ladies’ Tea. Similar to the other Sunshine Clubs we have the rising sun as our emblem, “My Sun- shine Girl”, our song; “Others” is our motto; the yellow rose, our flower, and our colors are yellow and white. Our officers who serve under our able sponsors, Miss Ganmong and Mrs. Collins, are OUR SUNSHINE GIRLS Pearl Shrout, President; Bonnie Lindborg, Vice- President; Betty Hickman, Corresponding Sec- retary; Mary Ingles, Recording Secretary; and Grace Bodamer, Treasurer.
