SENTO llrllll:Y HAS ACTHWE SEMESTER t i I 1 The Senior Hi-Y - The boys of the Southwestern Senior Hi-Y have seen their aim, which was to be one of the most serviceable clubs in the school, fulfilled. Today the Hi-Y is one of the most outstanding organizations in Southwestern. After the election and installation of the officers things began to buzz for the club. The first event the Hi-Y undertook was the Father-Son banquet. XVith the assistance of the Y. M. C. and the Midget Club, this affair was carried out successfully. At the regular business meetings, the club made elaborate plans that included a definite program for the entire term. Right along, their popularity and service to the school were steadily growing. Then came the VVestern Older Boys' and Girls' Conference, which the Hi-Y and Girl Reserves efiiciently spon- sored. Boys of the Southwestern 1-li-Y attended to registrations and official business connected with this event. ill, ln addition to the Older lioys' and Girls' Confer- ence and the Father and Son banquet, the Hi-Y undertook other projects. They had basketball score cards printed, and they distributed the score cards at the Western game. The managing of a second-hand book store is a service the Hi-Y expects to render the students of Southwestern next semester. The boys will accept students' used textbooks and sell them at a fair price for a small commission. As a special service to seniors, the Senior Hi-Y is buying a volume of books called Vocational Guides, which will assist seniors in choosing their vocations. The boys expect to install a newer and better basketball score board in the gym. A real, live club, the Hi-Y boys have enjoyed social events and weekly entertaimnent regularly. One of the social events was a wiener roast held with the Domecon Club. Everyone turned out for this eventg and what fun was missed was not worth having. The final and biggest social event of the season was a party held for the Girl Reserves. This event topped one of the Senior Hi-Y's most active semesters. i The officers are Harold Oke, Presidentg Randal Gray, Vice-Presidentg john Mahin, Secretaryg and W'illiam Voellmig, Treasurer.

Mr. Musson is adviser of the Gold boys. About the middle of the semester, the Hi-Y put out a book containing the names and descriptions of all the clubs, their standards, and requirements: besides this information the book contains the school yells and the school song. A copy of this hook was presented to the Student Council by a representative of the Torch Hi-Y. Next September a copy of this book will be presented to each incoming 9B, so that these students may select their activities intelligently.
