fiffistory of Yvoys' Club important organizations in the history of this school. This was the formation of the Boys' Club of the Roanoke High School. The object of this Club is to promote the welfare of the school and to develop a strong school spirit among ARLY in the fall of l9l2 there was instituted one of the most the students that will remain unbroken through victory and defeat. The Club owes its existence to the efforts of Mr. H. T. Baker. State Boys' Y. M. C. A. Secretary, and to the kindness of the Y. M. C. A. ofhcials in permitting the use of the Association Building. But the success of the Club is due entirely to the cooperation of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. in preparing the suppers and to the wonderful spirit shown by the members. The firm foundation on which this Club is based can only be appreciated when We consider that such prominent men as Mr. C. R. Wlilliams, Mr. john Izard, Mr. Alfred Anderson, Mr. C. M. Speese, Mr. J. H. Creighton, and Mr. I. D. Beale give their time and assistance in conducting the discussions at each meeting. It is impossible to fully estimate the value of this organization to the school and students. The boys are drawn closer together and become better ac- quainted and are made to realize that upon them rests, in a large degree, the success of the school in every undertaking. The success of the Club has been aided wonderfully by the valuable assistance rendered by the young ladies of the school in serving the SL1pp61'S. Wfith such a promising start the future Roanoke High School Club should not only uphold the present reputation of being the best in the State, but should expand and become the best in the United States. 86
