The purpose of the Hi-Y is to create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. This club stands for, Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Living, and Clean Scholarship. In November the local Hi-Y Club held its informal initiation. On December 4, the Hi-Y's, in joint services with the Girl Reserves, gave their formal induction ceremony at the United Brethren church. Again on December 21, the Hi-Y joined the Girl Reserves in giving a Christmas party for the community children. A treat and toys were distributed to about thirty children. The Hi-Y's also contributed to the Christmas Basket fund. The local club was represented at the Western Indiana District Con- ference held at Hillsboro in February. The club concluded its activities of the year with a Father and Son banquet held late in the spring. Girl Reserves This High School girl's club with the aid of their sponsor, Miss Van Hook, has tried to do all the good they can, in all the ways they can, to all the people they can. The Girl Reserves gave a game party on Friday night, November 11, for its members and a few guests. Our special guest was Miss Stahler, of Danville. The party was held in Room 4 of the High School. Games such as bridge, rook, Hinch and bunco were played. Refresh- ments were served and then various members consented to act as pianist and dancing was enjoyed. The joint recognition service of the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y's was held on Sunday evening, December 4, at the United Brethren church. This was a candle light service and Girl Reserves were dressed in white, Songs were sung and the service held. Thirteen new members were added to the roll call. A large crowd attended. On Thursday evening after school, December 22, the club gave a' Christmas party for the community children. A pretty Christmas tree was an important attraction. Thirty little tots enjoyed the many games prepared by the committee. Each one received a toy, an apple and a sack of crackerjack. .5

. .,,. if 1933 :iq 2 9 14 .tif 1 f X154 3 Beparimenia The Academic Course The Academic department of our school offers to students the keys needed to enter the college doors. Those pupils who are undecided in their life work would do well to enroll in this department, as it offers a wide opportunity to discover the field in which the pupil might later specialize. The majority of students who choose this course are those who are planning to attend higher institutions of learning. The Commercial Course The Commercial course affords training for those students who wish to follow a business career. The subjects taught in this course are typing, bookkeeping, shorthand, and office practice. These subjects are claiming their share of attention among the other subjects in High School. This is due, no doubt, to increasing demand by the business World for Well trained bookkeepers and secretaries. These subjects fur- nish a very fundamental and practical introduction to the problems which confront business life. The Vocational Agriculture Department The Vocational Agriculture course affords the future farmers of this community both the opportunity of becoming better farmers and advancing our community to equal other agriculture centers of our nation. The subjects taught in this course are farm shop, farm manage- ment, dairying, poultry, animal husbandry, soils and crops, and horti- culture. The vocational boys' course has been arranged so that it is possible for them to take subjects necessary for college entrance. Through projects, which form the greater part of the course, the mem- bers of this department are given the opportunity of applying their training to practical problems of farm life. Home Economics The Home Economics department serves a three-fold objective, through service to the community, to the school, and to the girls who have enrolled in the department. One big objective of all the work is to lead the girls to become more self reliant at home and interested in the activities performd there. Food, clothing, home management, re- lated arts, home nursing and child development are the courses taught in making girls worthy home members. ' V..H.S.
