The Hi-Y had an outstanding year of activity and its first campaign was for Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholarship and Clean I.iv- ing. Next in the way of clubs comes the French and Spanish Clubs. French Club mem- bers elected Caroline Bradshaw, president: Starr Quigg, vice-president: Ava Todd, secretary, and Herbert tirifiitli, treasurer. Enjoyable meetings were held at the homes ot' Frances Collins, Robert jones and jean Wheeler with programs presented entirely in the French language and members even gave several attractive French skits. The Parisians also enjoyed themselves at a wiener roast where everyone filled up on the chiens chauds and at a swim- ming party, both chaperoned hy Madamoiselle lirwin. Likewise the Spanish Club had an exciting series of wiener roasts, hay rides, picnics and even a scavenger hunt besides the regular meetings. Oliicers for the Spanish Club were Harry Bryson, president: Dick jolly, vice-president: Dura Keys, secretary and treasurer, and limbry Coalson, chairman ot' entertain- ment committee. Members of both clubs exchanged letters with students in the country whose language they studied. Imogene Sentcll served as president, Adelaide Hall as vice- president and Oliver Massey as secretary and treasurer of the Commercial Club. All mem- bers of the clubs sported attractive pins signifying the type ot' club. ln March the most exciting event was the annual junior-Senior debate.

Vera Vernon, a flapperish show girl, was portrayed by Melba Strain and Edith Craft played the role of Mrs. Pembroke. The three policemen were Sam Garner, Harry Bryson and Charles Robinson. The annual circus was a rip-roaring success with acts that would rival llarnum Sz Bailey for originality. Among the acts were: A Womanless Wedding, A Fashion Show, A Vaude- ville Agency act and a lovely garden scene with dancing and singing. The greatest day of the year was kid day when all seniors dropped care and dignity and assumed for the last time the garments of childhood, rompers, pigtails and all, to en- joy a day of childish pleasure before stepping across the line to manhood and womanhood. This return to childhood days claimaxed a senior year of activities. x.i' -r ii.,-. ..... .. ... 1 - -24- X 3 is
