Hi-Tri OLD NOKOMIS 19 3 4 Motto— We build the ladder by which we rise.” Key Words—Character, Friendship, Courtesy, Pleasure and Success. W atch word—Loyalty. The purpose of the Hi-Tri League is to give to every girl an opportunity to study and discuss life situations and to seek the right adjustment to them, with the hope that she will attain higher levels of character, friendship, courtesy, pleasure, and success. An initiation ceremonial was held in the Assembly on November 21. When all was ready, a march was played by Ruth Irene Thompson, violin, and Hazel Read, piano. The Freshman girls, who were guests of honor, marched in and occupied seats which had been reserved for them. Then came the installation of the new officers, during which each old officer handed over to her successor the emblem of her office. In the ceremonial proper, the part of Loyalty was taken by D. Wieneke, Character by S. Fogle, Friendship by J. Zimmerman, Courtesy by N. Tosetti, Pleasure by J. Isbell, Success by W. Geiss. These girls wore flowing robes of different colors and carried candles of matching colors. As each girl knelt and lit her candle from the candle of Loyalty, she gave her message of high ideals to the girls of the league. Then came two from the audience, Frances Shalbot and Dorothy Schaefer, who also lit their candles from the candle of Loyalty. They, in turn, lit the candles of other girls of the school. The singing of the Hi-Tri Loyalty song, Follow the Gleam,” closed this part of the program. The girls of the quartet who led the singing were L. Pocock, E. Pocock, R. Pocock, and E. Deitz. The Senior Group of the Hi-Tri is called the Big Sister Club. Each Senior girl has a Freshman sister and tries to be a close friend, an advisor who will help her meet difficult situations, and all that a real sister would be. The officers and work of the branch organizations of the Hi-Tri, which are the separate classes, are as follows: Freshman Group—Purpose: To become acquainted with phases of school life and learn the aims of Hi-Tri; President, A. Vercellone; Financial Secretary, B. Geitz; Secretary, M. Kettel-kamp. Sophomore Group—Purpose: To study vocations and prepare for life work; President, L. McKenna; Financial Secretary, D.
