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. The group leaders were as follows: Letha Leader Group Leader Group Leader Group Leader Group Leader Group Leader Group Leader Group Leader Group Leader Group Leader Group Mae Cummins 1 ............ 2 3 ........... 4 ........... 5 ........... 6 ........... 7 ........... 8 ........... 9 10 ..

Eva Mae Gillespie For the past few years there has been an organization in our High School which has been growing in importance until at present it is the largest and most active of all extra curricular bodies. This organization, The Booster Club, has just completed the most successful year of it’s whole history under the direction of Miss Gertrude Rew and B. H. Smith. In all there are 168 members in the club this year and out of these each class selects two boys and two girls, making a body of 16 members known as the active members, which bear the responsibility and transact all business. The Club boosts all school activities. especiaUy athletics, and is always ready to supply assembly programs when such is needed. At the beginning of the school year, the Ecosters gave a big ‘Get Acauainted” party, serving eats and enjoyment for the whole school. Each year this organization sells magazines for the Curtis Publishing Company and this year they were especially successful, by securing a bonus for selling a large number. The most successful event of the year was the Booster Club play, the first entertainment in the new Gym .entitled “The Whole Town’s Talking,” directed by Miss Rew. The proceeds of this play together with part of theij savings account was used to buy scenenry for the new stage. During the latter part of May. another big party was given to Booster Club members only and was equally as successful as the other functions sponsored by this organization. The Boosters boost. 27
