It holds its meetings every week on Tuesday evening at the members’ respective homes. The I li-Y is mostly a social club, conducted much along the plan of a fraternity. The club also believes it should do its share in bettering the school and community. The Hi-Y has given dances and distributed handbills for the school throughout the year. It has helped the Community Fund by raising money and goods at Christmas time. It has donated from its treasury, money for the Y. M. C. A. fund and has worked on many other worthwhile projects. The nine senior members which leave the club this year wish the Hi-Y an even more successful year in 1939. ECHOWAN 1938

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE CLUB President..................................Ruth Dcarstyne Vice President.............................Virginia Brown Secretary-Treasurer.....................Katherine Finnegan • The Vocational Guidance Club was organized last November, under the guidance of Miss Wharton. It was created with the hope and intention of acquainting its members with the various vocations open, and in this way aiding them in ending the turmoil in their own minds as to “what to do.” The club has had many speakers, among whom have been: Miss Baston, who spoke on Teaching; Mrs. Kildow, Assistant Director of the National Press Association, who spoke on Journalism; Miss Jones, on the vocation of the Medical Technician; Miss Bettie Isett, on Kindergarten work; Miss Hankce and Miss Dudding on Art; Miss Osterberg, on Music; Miss Lundquist, on Physical Education; and Miss Owstoen, on Nursing. These people have given the members a general description of the field, listed present opportunities for employment, given qualifications necessary to enter the work, discussed all the advantages and disadvantages that enter into the field, mentioned the different branches that could possibly be considered, and then went into the more economic side of it. The members were very enthusiastic about the club, and sacrificed their free time during their lunch hours to hear these speakers. They explained to each speaker that because of lack of time it was necessary to eat during the talk. Both speaker and club members cooperated, and the plan was very satisfactory. 1938 ECHOWAN
