THE 19-43 ILLOHM HI-TRI Have you often tried to discover the definition and the purpose of the Hi-Trl Club? Maybe this will enlighten your knowledge of the exact purposes. It is an organization, consisting only of girls, formed for the purposes of creating conscientiousness and loyalty, aiding girls in the art of conversation and helping them confront the problems of tomorrow. Our motto is “We Build the Ladder by Which We Climb” and the principle steps are: Character, Friendship, Courtesy, Honesty, Success and Pleasure. The Hi-Tri has sponsored three Lyceum Numbers with the aid of their sponsor. Miss Wicecarver. These programs were: (1) Liquified Air—Elliot James; (2) Sounds of the Air—Harold Allen assisted by Miss Alice Demons and (3) Magician and Ventriloquist—Loring Campbell. The numbers were greatly enjoyed by everyone.
