l The Hell leavers Wilma Poland and David Hansen, as cheer leaders, are deserving of our praise for their faithful services throughout the athletic season. We admit that their places as leaders to arouse spirit are difficult ones to fill, yet two more competent students could not have been secured for the positions. On the side lines as well as in the pep meetings the magnetic power of these two leaders drew forth from the crowd expres- sions of their enthusiasm which means so much to the players but which otherwise might have remained dormant.

MAROON AND WHITE aim E.. The Hi Y is a Christian organization under the auspices of the State Y. M. C. A. Its purpose is to create, maintain and extend thruout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Thru the co-operation of the Methodist and Congregational churches, a large delegation of boys was sent to the Y. M. C. A. conference at Fort Dodge in the spring of 1919. It was during this conference that the neces- sity of an organization for the betterment of the school life was realized and a Hi Y was organized. Elwen Wallace was elected president, Harold Burk, vice presidentg and George Jacobs, secretary. These boys, thru the Christian influence and efforts of Professor Ar- rington and Mr. Harry G. Smith, put their organization on a firm founda- tion and because of the Work and interest put into the Hi Y it became an affiliated club by the end of the year. Harold Burk was president the following year and the Hi Y advanced steadily until it became a registered club. A large delegation of boys rep- resented Milford at the Older Boys Conference at Cedar Rapids. There they received inspiration that would aid them in carrying on the work they had already begun.
