It is in this group that the girls learn the song and code, and what it means to be a Girl Reserve. Those girls who have earned at least fifteen points, by showing that they are worthy to become members of the organization, are admitted to the club at the formal induction ceremony, held in February. This year the freshman-sophomore group was very active in helping to prepare Thanksgiving baskets and in selling Christmas seals. The programs presented at the meetings, under the leadership of Jacqueline Allett, were planned with the idea that the girls should benefit from them. Various readings were given and articles were read which carried out this theme. One of the high- lights of these meetings was Freshman-Sophomore Reserve Officers Miss Welty, sponsor; Beverly Ed- wards, treasurer; Virginia LaCount, program chairman; Victoria Lind- berg, sergeant-at-arms; Mary Horn, president; Joanne Ragsdale, secre- tary; Dorothy Day, scribe; Shirley Hepner, vice-president. a talk by Mrs. W.

I IcciacS Jsndiictecl Jrnto KJronn The induction for the first semester takes place after Christmas. At this in- spiring ceremony, seven pledges were received into the organization. More pledges will be initiated in the spring. Since the induction is so long, only one boy is taken through the whole ceremony while it is given to the others in abbreviated form. The trend of the members of the Hi-Y is expressed in their motto, to create, maintain, and extend throughout school and community high standards of Chris- tian character. The thirty-four members, with Mr. Schenck and Mr. Warner sponsors, benefit the school through their sale of pencils, their maintenance of a check-room at basketball games, their bookstore, and the provision of Christmas seals for the r alpost. At the beginning of December, the members feted their fathers at a banquet. Each year the newly elected officers travel to Indian- apolis to the State officers ' meeting. Other representatives are sent to the district Older Boys ' Conference. Of great interest to the club is the annual party given by the senior members. Joe Bibler was granted the an- nual award.
