These projects included serv¬ ices to both the school and community. Two projects extended from last year were guard¬ ing devotionals during assembly and seeing to the proper care of the girls ' second floor rest-room. Twice during the football season the club sold programs at the games. This acted both as a service to the school and as a means of securing funds for the treasury. During the March of Dimes Campaign the girls collected money for the Infantile Pa¬ ralysis Fund at the Suffolk theaters. The group fixed a basket of food for a needy family at Christmas time. Contributions have been extended to the Joy Fund and March of Dimes. Club Plans Study of Beatitudes The Bible Committee of the Girls’ Junior Hi-Y Gub announced that the club will make a study of the Beatitudes as its Bible Study project for the year. The speakers planned for the year are: Rev. Charles Jones in October speaking on the first Beatitude: Rev. Graham McChesney in November speaking on the second: Mr. S. T. Godbey in February speaking on the third and fourth Beatitudes; Rev. Y ' ictor Murchison in March on the fifth and sixth Beatitudes: and Rev. F. L. Baker in April speaking on the seventh and eighth Beatitudes. In the past the Hi-Y has studied the Ten Commandments and the beliefs of various denominations. Their present Bible project will round out a full Bible course and will prove both educational and spiritual.
