'HI DEPPICK J C The Sour Lake ll-lli-Y Club The first Hi-Y Club in Sour Lake High School was organized on October 27, 19230. Mr. L. E. Sheppard started this organization because he was inter- ested in its cause. This little club started out with sixteen charter members and grew rapidly into one of the best Hi-Y clubs in Southeast Texas. lt abides by its sacred document of laws, the Hi-Y Constitution, and its meetings are carried on by Parliamentary procedure. Our accomplishments are many and our suc- cess great-this being due, mostly, to the strong support we have been given by our school and community. This support is all gratuitous because this is an extra-curricular organization. The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to create, maintain and extend through- out school and community, high standards of Christian character. NVQ? have as our platform, Clean Speech, Clean Scholarship, Clean Sportsmanship, Clean Living, and Contagious Christian Character. Every Hi-Y member, upon his induction into the club, pledges himself to the above purpose and Hsloganf' The Sour Lake Hi-Y Club has been blessed with the advantage of having very capable and efficient officers to carry on its work. All of the officers of the Sour Lake Hi-Y are listed below with their respective office. 4 Year Presidents Vice-Presidents Secretaries 1931 Ralph Tibbits Grover VVhite Daniel Holmes 1932 Daniel Holmes Frank liewley Keith Sandefei 1933 Keith Sandifer Paul Ainsworth Francis Green 1934 Paul Ainsworth Howard Harrison James Parrish 1935 Terry Cromwell R.

Every year we have sponsored the sale of eonfections and cold drinks, and with the profits from each of the football games, we have made improvements on our club rooms and aided the poverty stricken families. The Club presented the play, 'tThe Price of Justice, in the school auditorium in February, 1934. Wie used the proceeds from this play to furnish our club rooms with furniture and fix Christmas baskets for the poor people of our community. It is also one of our duties to furnish the money for public speaking in the school each year. NVe are proud of our accomplishments in the last. five years. It is with regret that space will not permit us to list the names of all the mem- bers of the club. 1935 i ?i .L A JJ

l r. i l Y l- - Q 'nl QE Q P I GCK The English Department The English Department of the Sour Lake High School has been a growing department. Today, it is greatly improved over the earlier department. Miss Hayth, our efficient teaeher, came here in the fall of l920. In the year 1922, the Sour Lake High School secured :1 fourth credit in English. lt was :1 very difficult prob- lem to get a fourth credit in English at that tinze, and the Sour Lake School was one of the few sehools who had it. During Miss Hayth's stay here, she has started many new projects. The English Club came into existence about the year 1925. It began as a Business En lish no'eet. The mr rose was to teach the Business English students S l J U arliamentarv law but the Seniors were soon invited to enter the Club as active .1 7 members. This was done after the Business ldniflish Class saw the real value of B club work. At first, the meetings were held in the class room, but after the mem- bership increased, it was evident that larger looms were needed. Mr. Buek, our su erintendent at that time ranted the club the mriyilelfe of usinfr the old domestic p 7 rs D seienee rooms for club rooms. After the English Club was given these attractive rooirs, it was decided to have what we eall sectional meetings as well as the general meetings which were held the last Monday evening of each sehool month. The Juniors have in reeent years been permitted to join the elub, so they, also, have sec-tional meetings, and they participate in the general meetings. The sectional meetings are held twice each. month on Wednesday at the regular elass session, but they are held in the Club rooms. At these meetings, the sectional officers preside. A regular routine of business is trausaeted, and an interesting program is rendeied. The program usually vonsists of topies that appertain to the regular line of work. Thus, no time is wasted, but the regular work of the rlass is promoted in :ln interesting manner. At the general elub meetings, the most iniportant topies of the month in both Junior and Senior elasses are stressed. The prograins consist of the best essays that have been written in both .Tunior and Senior Classn-sg the lixes of the favorite authors from both Ameriean and English l.lf0l'Jltlll'G that hate been studied during the month and the memory work of the month. Offirfers tor the General lllnglisli Ulub are eleeted from the Senior Class. The officers for this year are: Martha Faye Parr, Presidellt: Ray lddmondson, Yiee'l'resident, and Helen Gill, Seelvtary. l roin the work done in this vluln, a project has developed which is ealled lflnglish Week. The fiist week in May is designated as linglish YYeek. During this week, the ling- lish work of the year is put on display. Thus, one can sue something of our lflnglish Department. 1935i
