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 . .

Bibliopbiles During the past year the library staff, composed of 24 girls. performed the many duties necessary to make the newly-named Anna Helen Morse library an efficient ser- vant of the school. The staff is an organized society with .lean Sabatine as president: lirances XVommer, vice president: Mary XVhelan, secretary: Dorothy Waters, treasurer: and Gabri- ella Mastenbrook, sergeanteat-arms. Under the supervision of Librarian Margaret Moles, the group has handled an average daily circulation of 85 books, have helped to keep the library neat, have mended books, and helped with ref- erence work. To observe Book Week last November, a cross word puzzle was devised. Of the 500 entrants in the contest, Harry McCormick was winner and chose a dictionary as a prize. More than 250 new books were added to the library. necessitating more shelf space. Although no attempt was made to purchase all the latest books, many best-sellers, both fiction and non-fiction, were bought. The well- known reference books and classical materials that were purchased will be invaluable to future students. For a school of its size, Sault High has a library with an unusually large collection of fine encyclopedias. First row: Miss Moles, Kathleen McCormick, Irene Traige, Gloria Willis, Helen McLean, Marian Davis, Georgette Wellner, Elizabeth Bales. Second row: Dorothy Waters, Mary Whelan, Chris- tobel Vert, Lorraine Nason, Mildred Zenzen, Gabriella Mastenbrook, Frances Wommer, Shirley Atkins. Sketclmers Projects in clay modeling, block printing, life sketching, and water color have been completed by the twenty-five members of the high school art class this year under the direction of the new art supervisor Robert E. Bishop. An exhibition of their work was made, along with art projects done throughout the school system, during the recent P.T.A. convention, Life sketching was an interesting phase of the study and was pursued in two different ways. Members of the class posed for fellow artists in action poses, such as walking and dancing. The class also made trips down town, where they drew rough sketches of persons on the street, then returned to school to complete the work. Opportunity for selfeexpression was offered in several ways. Emotions took form in the artists' imaginary con- ceptions of joy, sorrow, toothache, jealousy, and headache. Among a group of designs that the class made and trans- ferred to cloth, a bed spread designed by Wilda Cochrane was commendable. Clay masks and figures were also created. The holiday season brought the making of linoleum block Christmas cards, many of which resulted in the students' actually using them. Of course everyone .remem- bers the blue and white Suel-li pennants made by the art class. As the year drew to a close, the artists planned field trips to obtain further experience in water color painting. Previous to this time, students had drawn things that could be seen from art room windows. The group also became interested in murals. Much admired was Helmi Peterson's mural depicting the cooperation of all phases of American work and production. A design for an aquatic mural was created by the class, and it was hoped that permission could be secured to paint the mural on the wall of the natatorium. Since the art course was offered fifth period only. these twenty-five, a mere three per cent of the entire student body. could elect the subject. This year in performing fewer extra-curricular services to the school, the class was given more actual art instruction. lt is hoped that more art can be offered to more pupils in the coming year. First row: Shirley Atkins, Anastasia Zervas, Arnold Vaher, Gladys Tebo, Melva Hudson, Audery Moore. Second row: Vance McKinney, Bob Coulter, Juanita Sims, Mary Sinigos, Jo Ann Wise, Virginia Vigeant, Marguerite Fyke, Margaret Nordstrom, George Lawrence, Roger Herrington. Third row: Mr. Bishop, John Stabile, Toni Crane, Kenneth Hope, Stanley Lyons, Niilo Waisanen, Bill Brown, Frederick Craft. lt is estimated that 1380 pupils made use this year of the library's 4,150 books, its 47 popular magazines, and its six daily newspapers. The three committee rooms were in constant demand for debate practice and home room committee meetings. Seventy-five persons were fortunate enough to have the library assigned them as a daily study hall. l.ittle publicity is given the three valuable paintings that beautify the library walls, Two of these are original XVhistler etchings. Only two students, June Perkins and Gabriella Masten- brook, were enrolled in library science. These girls did daily assignments in library methods for which they re- ceived credit. Page twenty-one
