C. H. S., there was organized this year a Hi-Y Club, which has for its slogan ‘Clean living, clean athletics and clean scholar ship.” The club held its meeting every Tuesday. A varied program of meetings kept them interesting. The boys at all times endeavored to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and communiy, high standards of Christian character. Delegates were sent to the “Older Bovs’ Conference” in Centralia the week of Thanksgiving vacation. Many points) of interest and value were brought back to the club. A basketball team of no small merit represented the Hi-Y in a number of games. One of the most interesting assembly programs of the year, consisting of a short play and music by the quartet was presented by the club. The quartet has been a valuable addition to many school functions. The Hi-Y members are leaders in many branches of school activities. Now that the club has become well founded, plans are being made to enlarge its usefulness for next year 24

3Uoljmet Hi- Tri League The Hi-Tri League was formed for the first time in M. C. H. H. this year. It was originally organized in the fall of 1925 by the Dean and girls of Mt Vernon Township High School. Through this organization the girls are able to express their loyalty to the school and the community in many ways. The platform of this organization embodies only the highest ideals. The League fosters a love for initiative and a SDirit of democracy. Through the daily contact and comoanionship of one another. in both school and social life, the girls are educated to meet one another on equal grounds. The members of the Hi-Tri must be qua.HPed to fill such an honorable position. The foundation upon which the League stands is made up of character, friendship, courtesy, pleasure and success. The League of M C. H. S. was divided into ten small groups for better opportunities of working systematically. Each grouo had a leader who worked with the sponsors. From each group some special project was set forth. The League left to the school a worthy remembrance. Near the last of the year, several girl?, together with the sponsors, attended conference of Hi-Tri Leagues at Harrisburg. Later Harrisburg was entertained here while the initiation ceremonies were carried out. The sponsors were Miss He’en Mason Steers, and Mrs. Perry Arensman.
