The Rotary Club of Wadsworth has provided a select group of some seventeen senior boys with the opportunity to participate in the weekly Ro- tary meetings. These boys, elected by their class- mates at the beginning of the school year, have a chance to see firsthand how a well-organized service club operates. The club entertains two of these boys every Tuesday noon for a month with an excellent meal, songs, and a speaker. These boys are indeed fortunate that there is such a generous club in our community. Mr. Burkholder, himself a Rotarian, explains the club's four way test to newly elected Honorary Rotarians Mike Miller and Mickey Miller. 'W as Ji I Q' r W--Qc., lt's a good thing this Gladstone has straps on it. Joe didn't bring home such a neatly packed suitcase, but he did bring home many memor- able happenings which occurred during his week's stay at Boys' State. Learning the fundamentals of state, county, and city government is one of the main purposes of Buckeye State. Each year three boys and two girls from the iunior class learn these funda- mentals. A miniature state is set up, from the governor down to the lowest city office. For those who don't get elected to an office, there are banks and utility companies to be formed. While at Buckeye Girls' State, which was held at Capital University in Columbus, Carol and Valle, along with the other girls, were taken on a tour of the governor's mansion and the Capitol building in Columbus. Joe, Bill, and Jack found that at Buckeye Boys' State, which was held at Camp Perry, the living conditions weren't the best. When it rained, some of the buildings leaked, and the beds got wet. Buckeye State was an unforgettable and profitable experience enioyed by all five par- ticipants.

As it does every year, Wadsworth's active Hi-Y club sponsored the snake dance and bonfire be- fore the homecoming game. This year it was held on October 31 before the Kent Roosevelt game. Besides this, Hi-Y activities include basketball games, pot-luck suppers, and a swimming party. At one pot-luck supper, Mr. Sterling Sechrist used colored slides to give an excellent talk about Guatemala and Yucatan. --as-4.54 A as ,f 4 f 5 H Xl '57 .. my ,J W r 7 'ir ,f KN - The Hi-Y gym meetings also draw large attend- ance, as the picture shows.
