Hi-Y One of the prime prerequisites of a lasting building is a solid foundation. The purpose of the Rensselaer Hi-Y is to give its members the advantage of a sound foundation by the development of Christian character. The Hi-Y was reorganized this year under the leadership of Mr. Holt. Al- though much of the time of the club was used for reorganization purposes, the Hi-Y accomplished many worthwhile projects. For the first time in the history of the Rensselaer Hi-Y club a formal initiation was held. The Hi-Y club from Wheeler was in charge of the program and con- ducted it very efficiently and interestingly. The club gave baskets at Christmas, and sponsored a Thanksgiving program. Richard Hoshaw and Robert Brown were sent to the State Hi-Y conference at Danville and gave a very interesting report of the proceedings to the club upon their return. President . .

Sunshine Society The objective of the Sunshine Society has always been to spread cheer and good will in places where they are most needed. At Thanksgiving, in order to do this, we distributed baskets of food to the needy of our community. Approximately fifty primary students attended our Christmas party. It was enjoyed by the Sunshine Girls as well as by the kiddies. Our society has been very fortunate in being able to sell candy at all athletic functions, and has made a profit the entire year. The Sunshine Dance which is held annually proved a source of profit as well as enjoyment to the student body. Officers President Vice President . . .

The Future Farmers ' organization is a national organization of high school students in vocational agriculture. Its program is developed for an entire year and is not limited to the school term. In the summer the members went to Indianapolis where they visited the State Farm Bureau offices and plant, and Lieutenant-Governor Schricker at the State House. The chief event of our year is the Jasper County Corn Show, which we sponsored. It was held in November under the leadership of Rogers Amsler, Ray Smith, Paul Zimmer, and Paul Branson. Robert Jacks was toastmaster at the concluding banquet. Elmer Phegley and Howard Bruce were our delegates to the State Conven- tion at Purdue on June 12-14. Henry Amsler and Austin Moore were awarded the coveted Hoosier Farmer degree and gold key at the State Convention. Only ten other members in the entire state were recipients of these honors.
