Several things to be proud of have been accomplished. Grain, stock, and potato judging teams were sent to the state contest at M. S. C. last May. The stock judging team was composed of Lanson Thayer, Raymond Reid, and Robert Hanlin who took second place. The Grain judging team composed of Ralph Miller, Mary Ruth Diehl and Clifford Stutting won over forty-seven other high schools at the same contest. We are looking for the boys in grain judging to give a good account of themselves at M. S. C. in May. Socially the club has been a success. Several trips are being planned, one of which is to the Dow Gardens at Midland. We of the Ag Club wish to thank Mr. Grambau for his good will and help in making the club a success. -Helen Dersnah.

fi' , an .. . f f if - L ' Q The History of the Hi-Y Club THE Hi-Y Club of Mt. Pleasant High School enjoyed the most successful year of its existence. The activities of the club have been greater in number and far better than any previous year. It sponsored the best Father and Son Banquet ever given in Mt. Pleasant, sent sixteen delegates to the older boys' conference at Lansing, and its president to the Hi-Y Presidents' Training Camp, Camp Hayo-Went-Ha, at Torch Lake. The Mt. Pleasant Hi-Y Club has the rare distinction of sending its president, Harold Stinson, one of the three delegates to represent Michigan, to the World Court at the Helsengsfors, Finland. Its weekly programs have been very good and helpful. The spiritual needs were emphasized and spiritual growth was evidenced by its members during the year. The officers for the year were: Harold Stinson, presidentg Elwyn Dexter, secretaryg Maynard Allyn, vice-presidentg John Duguid and Evart Bowerman, each serving half of the year as treasurers, and Mr. Muyskens as advisor. -Elwyn Dexter.
