Hi-Y Delegates Attend Congress Any IOB boy who is interested in the Y. M. C. A. should not deprive himselt ot the pleasure ot joining the Roosevelt Chapter ot the l-li-Y. The purpose ot this club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards ot Christian character and leadership. This organization was tounded in l922 under the auspices ot the Y. M. C. A. in cooperation with the school. It is just as active today as it was then. During the past year the club sent several dele- gates to the National l-li-Y Congress which was held at Berea, Kentucky. lt also gave an all-school party at the Uni- versity Y. M. Cf. A. Moreover it consid- ers various matters pertaining to the E231 personal and school lite ot members in its regular meetings. At present the l-li-Y boys operate the second-hand bookroom which is a great help to the school. And last, but tar trom least, during the coming year the l-li-Y has the splen- did aim ot trying to maintain and to improve its worthwhile purpose. The tall otticers were Earl Olson, presi- dent, Robert Goldstrand, vice-presi dent, Robert Hubbard, secretary, Or- win Youngquist, treasurer: Dennis Sam uelson, sergeant-at-arms. The spring ot- ticers are Earl Olson. president: Dennis Samuelson, vice-president: Ralph Ro- das, secretary, Leon Lundblad, treas- urerg Bolo Youngman. sergeant-at-arms.

Johnson, Forensic League Proves Good Talkie The National Forensic League at Roosevelt has brought much honor to our school: tor our chapter is one ot the two chapters in the country that has at- tended all nation-wide tournaments. The group was organized in l93O, un- der the auspices ot Mr. Qsterhus, who has continued as the organization's competent adviser. Membershipinto the chapteris earned by points. Twenty points are required tor entrance. These points may be ob- tained only through inter-school compe- tition in debated and in oratorical and declamatory contests. Everytime a student enters a contest he receives a certain number ot points. When a total ot titty points has been E221 won, a degree ot honor is awarded. One hundred points earns a degree ot excel- lence: one hundred and titty points, a degree ot distinction. lt a student earns as many as one hundred and titty points, he may be awarded the National For- ensic League pin. This pin is well-worth a student's ettort, tor it is a silver pin with a ruby center. The National Forensic League encour- ages a student to participate in various types ot spealcing. lt recognizes a stu- dent's etiorts when they are creditable. The otiicers ot the league are Edward Weidner, presidentg Robert Zumwinlcle, vice-president: Jeanette Kerr, secretary: Muriel Erickson, treasurer: Betty Jane Martin, sergeant-at-arms.
