Vice-President Secy.-Treas. ----------Mr. Reppert -----James Dorman -----Ralph Wallace Charles Shipley February 8, 1938 a group of boys gathered in Room 20. Mr. Reppert says, “We are about to organize a wonderful club which is to stress throughout the school a spirit of ‘Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholar- ship, and Clean Living.’ Someone please be- gin the nominations for the president of the club.” At this meeting James Roark was elected president, James Cook, vice-presi- dent, and Herbert Sibley, secretary-treasurer. All of these little black and red pins you see pinned on the students and teachers were sold by the Hi-Y Club. In the time to come they will look upon their pins and recall their happy school days in “dear old Nitro high.” Do you realize if it wasn’t for the Hi-Y club those refreshing soft drinks and that delicious ice cream that you bought at the Basketball Tournament would not have been available and also there would have been no place for you to put your wraps at the Alumni dance. The next time you walk up the main hall look in the trophy case and you will see a grand trophy which is to have the name of the best student athlete of Nitro High School inscribed upon it every year. This trophy was given to the school by the Hi-Y Club. It is not to be forgotten that the Hi-Y club gave the boys’ rest room a coat of black and white paint this year.
