fies The Boys’ Hi-Y 1927 Starting the semester by stressing ‘‘Service,” the Boys’ Hi-Y club of the fall term of 1927 lived up to all preceding standards. Peppy meetings and -nonthly feeds were the order all term. For entertainment, the club sponsored several very successful activities, namely, a skating party, a swimming party, a co-ed party, and a show. The big event of the season was the trip to Montezuma. All the boys reported a fine time, and besides gaining much Brotherhood knowledge, they came home basketball champions of the northern California Hi-Y clubs. The boys who made the trip were: Frank Fenix, Marion Snodgrass, Harry Carpenter, Donald Seawright and Reid Bullock. The officers for the fall team were: Reid Bullock, president; Harry Spires, vice-president ; Marion Snodgrass, treasurer; and Arthur Rasmussen, secretary. Mr. A. W. Mueller was club adviser. 1928 Since the beginning of the Hi-Y club in Richmond, there has never been a livelier group than that which organized in the spring term of 1928. With the newly appointed Y. M. C. A. Secretary, Mr. Reynold Carlson, as their adviser, the club outdid all predecessors. During the term, amusement took the form of a co-ed party, a theater party, a banquet at Stiles Hall, participation in a local basketball league, ping-pong, pool, tennis contests, interclass basketball games and the regular monthly dinner. The boys were entertained also by the girls of the Hi-Y. The officers were: Harry Spires, president; Frank Fenix, vice-president ; Harry Carpenter, secretary; James Morrison, treasurer; Charles Malianni, social chairman; and Marion Snodgrass, service chairman,

Girl Reserves A resume of the Girl Reserves’ work for this year shows that it has been an organization of worth and enjoyment. At each meeting plays and original stunts were put on. Social meetings were held in the Bandhouse, alternating with dis- cussion meetings in the Study Hall. The girls had many hikes and weinie roasts, and especially attractive were the wild flower hikes which were held in the spring. The main social events of the year were an overnight trip to Willow Camp, and a Gym Jinx, which was attended by all the girls’ clubs of the school. Each club gave a stunt and participated in a basketball contest. Later, everyone ate supper in the cafeteria, and afterwards saw a mystery play which caused the old Study Hall to echo with uncanny screams. Several girls are preparing to receive Girl Reserve rings on May 31. These girls have worked for two years and deserve the privilege of owning this symbol of achievement. Installation of new officers, a farewell to seniors, and a tea for the Girl Reserves’ mothers will be held on May 31, also. Each year a number of Girl Reserves go to the summer camps at Asilomar and Lokoya. In order to make it possible for some girls to go this summer, a show was put on May 10. Proceeds were divided between the Dorothy Todd Scholar- ship Fund and the fund which enables girls to go to the summer camps. The girls look forward: to the conference at Asilomar, and also to the good times they have at Lokoya. The officers of the fall term were: Muriel Talt, president; Viola Einer, vice-president ; Katheryne Fahrenholtz, program chairman; Marie Nougier, secre- tary; Jane Olney, treasurer; Ramona Adams, social chairman; Alice Walgren, service chairman. The officers of the spring term were: Muriel Talt, president; Viola Einer, vice-president ; Marie Nougier, secretary; Jane Olney, treasurer; Helen Basham, program chairman; Wilda Eby, social chairman; Dorothy Elderidge, service chair- man.

The Girls’ Hi-Y The Girls’ Hi-Y club is bringing to a close this June the most active year of its existence. After once getting a new start in the spring semester, the club grew rapidly. During the fall semester Miss Cuthbertson was the adviser. Because Miss Cuthbertson was taking an extension course at the University of California during the spring semester and was unable to attend the Hi-Y meetings every Thursday, Miss Plinez agreed to alternate with her. As a result of congenial cooperation of advisers and girls, a great amount of pleasure was derived from the club. Lively meetings were held every Thursday night at the local Y. M. C. A. Delicious suppers were served amid peppy songs and yells. Basketball was the favorite sport, and many an exciting game took place in the gym. Other sports and games which were enjoyed at the meetings were volley ball, pool, ping-pong and checkers. Ice skating and roller skating furnished a good time for the girls along with theater parties. Plans were made recently for a week-end trip to Miss Cuthbert- son's delightful summer cottage in Marin county. In the spring, the club entertain- ed the Boys’ H1-Y with a Hi-Y jinks which was held at the local Y. M. C. A. Be- sides a treasure hunt and a grand march, a thrilling basketball game was held be- tween the girls and the boys. The officers for the fall semester were: Maude Pierson, president ; Eleanor Albert, vice-president ; Helen Maxwell, secretary-treasurer, The officers for the spring semester were: Eleanor Albert, president; Evelyn Hughes, vice-president; Helen Maxwell, secretary; Jewell Chapin, treasurer ; Anita Brown, clean-up manager; Merle Siple, yell leader.
