gfly... CLUB Starting its year with a treasure hunt, the Hi-Y club continued into the fiscal school year in a somewhat dubious fashion. Tom DuBois acting as president, aided by Bill Krieghbaum, vice-prexy-Jack Killion, secre- tary-and Charlie Spohn treasurer, did a workman-like job. However, the old spirit of the club was missing. As the aggregation progressed, they fell deeper into debt, even though they sponsored a Christmas dance. An extra crop of scums were admit- ted into the club for the purpose of raising funds. The State Secretary of the Hi-Y Clubs of Indiana attended one of the bi-weekly suppers in an endeavor to inspire the lads. It had little effect. Also, Lt. Garry Daniels and Lt. Charles Coplen of the Army Air Force spoke to the club. Toward the end of the year, the suppers were discontinued because of severe rationing, but things picked up as club dues partially put the club on its feet. This club is a challenge to the classes of the future. We sincerely hope you will make an honest effort to Create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community the highest standards of Christian living. gif! Cg3eseWes . . . C L U B Under the guidance of Miss Swope the Girl Reserves have had a year crammed with activity. The traditional bi-weekly suppers were changed to harmonize with gas rationing, and in their .place a hot lunch was serv- ed for a very low and reasonable price. Some of the speakers who at- tended these were: Private Mary Bilyew of the W. A. A. C.'s, Mrs. Kaye, and Mrs. C. L. Richardson. The program committee headed by Wanda Remy arranged the Kid Party and the annual Mothers and Daughters Tea with the installation of new oflicers. At Christmas the welfare commit- tee under Lois Herendeen prepared for the distribution of food baskets. The officers for '43 were: Mary E. Moore, president, Kathryn Rog- ers, vice-president, Ellen Bunnell, secretary, and Maxine Bailey, treas- urer.
