THE NARCISSUS HI-Y HE Hi-Y Club has been one of the most out- standing clubs in Peru High School. Although the club was not able to do very extensive work in any one line, it did its bit whenever possible. At the first of the year the club was asked to contribute money to be used in helping to pay ex- penses of foreign boys who will attend the Inter- national Older Boys' Conference in Toronto, Can- ada, this summer. The money was raised by sell- ing boxes of candy. For six weeks a State Hi-Y Bible Study Con- test was held, and at the end of the six weeks per- iod a short test was given which, along with the CLUB. attendance, would determine the winning club. Near Christmas time it did some charitable work among the needy families by preparing bas- kets of food and clothing for them. Included in the social functions were two ban- quets attended by the boys and their guests. A mother and son banquet is held once each year, and near the end of the school term a Hi-Y picnic is given at the lake. The sponsors of the club are Mr. Mitchener, Mr. Rufe, and Mr. Crodian. The officers are: President, Robert Morris, vice president, Emro Brown, secretary, Harold Porter, treasurer, Bill Beard McDaniel.

LOYAL ROOTERS' CLUB. The Loyal Rooters Club is what the name sig- niiies-boosters of athletics. Before the gymnasium was built, the athletic spirit was so lacking among the students that a few girls met to see if something could not be done about it. As a result the L. R. Club was organ- ized. Every year the club undertakes some pro- ject for the school, such as purchasing blankets for the football boys, equipment for the girls' var- sity room, and girls basketball sweaters. Page Thirty-two Until last year the girls met after school for business meetings, then the supper plan was adopted. The plan was to have a supper every month and have a short business meeting followed with a program. Near the end of the school year the annual banquet is given for the members and their guests. The sponsors of this club are: Miss Wagner, Miss Wood, and Miss Brubaker. The officers are: President, Virginia Antrimg vice president, Mary Fisher, and secretary-treasurer, Helen Bossard.
