GIRLS ' BIBLE STUDY GROUP to, 6, fa, 6,6, GIRLS ' BIBLE STUDY The Girls ' Bible Study Class has become a regular part of our school activities. It is conducted under the auspices of the Kentucky Committee of the Young Women ' s Christian Association and our local Girl Reserves. The project begins early in February and lasts for eight weeks. The course this year was: Stories from Life, as depicted in the parables of Jesus. Each year our enrollment has shown an increase over the previous year. This year our class of 199 girls was divided into three groups. The Freshmen group chose Miss Scott as their leader; the Sophomores, Miss Brown; and the Juniors and Seniors, Miss Lewis. Juanita Parsons, Zinna Justice and Edith Day were respectively secretaries of these groups. The fine spirit of cooperation on the part of students and high school teachers enabled us to make an enviable record this year which will warrant us in striving to move forward to first place in 1931. Through these groups our girls are given an opportunity to discuss their present day problems and j receive stimuli to the formation of practical religious ideals. j The ready response of school officials in general to the Bible Study Project t is recognition of the fact that the scriptures are vital today as ever to nourish and inspire, to mold and to guide the inner life of man.

BOYS ' H I-Y BIBLE STUDY GROUP HI-Y BIBLE STUDY The Hi-Y work has been going on very nicely for the last few years and we have had one of the largest classes in the state of Kentucky. The roll stayed around 120 until the Bible Study Contest began, then, we are proud to say that we had almost a perfect attendance of all the boys in the high school — 192. Our splendid attendance record kept us ahead in the contest. When the examination was taken we were 150 points ahead. At the recent meeting of the Kentucky Educational Association our school, through Mr. Oliver, was awarded a beautiful trophy given to the school with the highest rating in the state. We have won second place for two successive years after being given a dummy score for not sending in reports. The work of President John Ramsey and the Secretary, Otto Coleman, is lar gely responsible for our win- ning. Every meeting has been promptly reported this year.
