Better late than never is the motto of the Alpha Tri-Hi-Y. The ALPHA TRI-HI-Y helps Owing to the illness of Miss Bolden the club wasn't organized until build e beffef Wefld and Pm' almost Christmas time, but are they making up for lost time! This club is composed of approximately fifty junior and Senior girls. Since most of these girls are deep in the throes of puppy love, it was their idea to have a Christmas partv and each invite her man of the hour. Did they have fun? Well, most of them are still re- cuperating! The club also had their own private Christmas party for just the members of the club. The Alphas selected two of their number to advise the Gamma Gra-Y, a Tri-Hi-Y club for the sev- enth and eighth grade girls. This year Eloise Englehart and Doro- thea Hilner have the honor. The Alphas have attended church, taken part in the Rockwood Rally, and bought a mirror for the girls' lavatory in the new building.

Not only have they been selling candy this year but they have attended the Rockwood Rally, went to church, and put on an assembly program. The social life of this club has not been neglected either with Miss Slagle as advisor. Every member of this organization has in mind at all times its slogan: Pure thoughts, pure words, pure actions. 7 Escorts, bake sales, conferences, swell fellowship are a few of HI-Y the words and phrases which describe our Hi-Y and its activities. one ef the few Suggestions The organization has standards and really tries to live up to them. In December, Dick Bolden and Gus Hartle represented our Hi-Y at an older boys Hi-Y conference at Evensburg Mountain. Dick wowed them with one of his famous speeches. It seems they had a wonderful time, but you must ask them about that. The Hi-Y held a joint-conference with the Tri-Hi-Y at Rock- wood. The boys in our organization claim they went primarily, to see if the other Tri-Hi-Y clubs have as good looking girls as ours. fTake a bow, girlslj The head engineer of this club is Mr. james Livengood and he sees that we're on all four wheels, in high gear, going full speed ahead. Our president, Bob Hartle, is a talkative soul-usually. We can't resist mentioning his speech the night he was inducted. He uttered nary a word, but he blushed beautifully.

HERE'S THE LOWDUWN ON THE HI-VIEW One of the largest groups of editors and assist- ant editors ever assembled meets bi-weekly right here in Meyersdale High School. In case you don't know to whom I am referring, I mean the staff of our school scandalizer, the Hi-View. Editor Kenny Critchfield keeps the wheels of jour- nalism in motion and, aided by Assistant Editor Dick Bolden, watches to see that all the cogs of the machine are in good working order and that no chains slip. Feature Editor Windy Wetmiller spends all his time prying into other peoples' busi- ness for scandal to write in his gossip column. His assistant snoopers are Keith Ringler and Tom Shipley. Elaine Speicher, the News Editor, covers all the school events, while Betty Dwire, one of the junior belles who never misses a school dance or social event, serves as Social Editor. In charge of swapping publications is Exchange Editor Celia D'Amico. The big financiers of this organi- zation are Business Manager Fred Wilmoth and his assistant, Zip Commons. The chief dood- lers for the staff are Art Director john Durr and his assistants Fuzzy Floto and Lois Keim. Cov- ering all the major and minor sports events are Sports Editor Gussie Hartle and his assistant, Andy Gates. Mr. Snyder advises and keeps track of these budding young journalists.
