Grads' Master Mind Counsellors of '39 As members of the class of '39 look back over their years of high school. they can remember four years of efficient class management with each accomplishment skill- fully executed. For these they are indebted to Mr. Alfred Davis, class adviser since IQ36. Mr. Davis believed in beginning early on work to be done although he always gave students a free hand in the planning. giving words of advice only when they were necessary to make easier work. His efforts have continually been directed towards a more efficient class government by class members, not by senior home room teachers, and the times that these instructors have been called upon for help have been exceedingly few. Not only as senior adviser is Mr. Davis's influence felt, but as a mem- ber of numerous faculty committees-- guidance, honors, student elections, curriculum study, P.T.A. convention. Outside of the local system he is a member of the Depart- ment of Public Instruction Curriculum Consultant group and is a delegate from Chippewa County to the M.E.A. Mr. Alfred Davis 'l9's adviser holds a B.A. degree from Northern State Teachers' College and an M.A. degree from the University of Michigan. Reading, camping, hiking. golf, and tennis keep him busy outside of school. This summer he will spend in a trip through the Middle West and in vacationing at his cabin at the Hiawatha Club. EDWARD HONKANEN. adviser of room M. senior boys. has coached the class cagers through their second consecu- tive year as class basketball champions. He has just finished a most successful year as school safety director and has served as a member of the honors committee. Outside of school he hunts, fishes. works in his home shop, and referees basketball games. He hopes to study at the University of Michigan this summer. Mr. Honkanen is a graduate of Northern State Teachers' College and has continued study in the U. of M. extension courses. FERN SNYDER, adviser to room l girls, has been inter- ested chiefly in speech and assembly activities. ln her leisure time she studies music and sings in the Presbyterian choir. A member of the Sault Little Theater group, she is also interested in dramatics. Her outdoor activities include hik- ing and tennis. A graduate of Western State Teachers' College, Miss Snyder has also done work at the University of Chicago. She hopes to spend the summer in attending summer school or in travel. AGNES SOLVSBERG, as adviser to room lO girls, has played an important role in the activities of '39. For ex- cellent directing of class plays, for her part in the super- vision of speech work and the Speech Club, the seniors owe her a vote of thanks. Her room has led in all class affairs, in selling tickets and promoting class projects. As hobbies. Miss Solvsberg has a keen interest in the Little Theater, in reading, and in golf. Page fourteen

Character Builders To create, maintain, and extend through the school and community high standards of Christian character, the Hi- Y club was organized by Mr. Davis and a group of boys in April l938. XVith close international relationship as a goal, the Michigan and Canadian Hi-Y clubs and the Colonnade held a joint meeting to organize a Hi-Y auxiliary for the Canadian girls. ln January, I5 members of the Michigan Hi-Y attended a meeting in Canada. Before the meeting, which was held in the Y.M.C.A. building, the members formed teams and bowled. John Gorman. Canadian Hi-Y presi- dent, presided at the meeting for which Vincent Prewer, noted Canadian woodsman and fire ranger was guest speaker. George S. Menkee, now adviser of the Michigan Hi-Y, and Glenn Marin, president of the Michigan group. also gave brief talks. Joe Connell, Canadian Hi-Y mentor, led the combined clttbs in singing, and Johnny Vincent, swing pianist, entertained the group with a few of his hot arrangements. On April 25 the Michigan Hi-Y and Colonnade were joint hosts to the Canadian club and to Canadian girls in- terested in forming an auxiliary. Mr. William Robinson spoke on The Evils of John Barleycornm, and Warren St. John played several solos. After the meeting guests and hosts enjoyed dancing to the music of the Su-Hi Dance Band. Because of the steady increase of theft in school this year, petty thievery was a topic of much discussion at Hi-Y meetings. The club made known its opposition to this vice and did all it cotlld to help stamp it out. The Hi-Y received membership cards and its official charter from the Nationwide Fellowship of Hi-Y clubs. The organization has one meeting each month at which interesting programs are given. One social meeting was a toboganning party with Colonnade girls as guests. Hi-Y officers are: President . .
