First, they undertook the 1949 district convention, during which they played host to some one-hundred officers, members, and sponsors of H1 and Tri-H1-Y clubs from LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, and DeKalb counties. Highlights of the convention were impressive devotions by the local clubs, song- fests, group discussions, and the banquet. The convention was sponsored in conjunction with the local Trl-H1-Y club. The Hi-Y has also attempted to be of community and national service. At the Concord-Shipshe game the H1-Y boys passed the blanket to aid the March of Dimes to fight infantile paralysis. They netted a total of S27.5O. In order to show thanks to our creator the boys gave a basket of food to a needy family at Thanksgiving.
