The Hi-Y Club as a whole this year was one of the best ever organized in the history of the school. At the iirst of the year it was decided by members that no dues would be collected, but that all money needed would be raised by the club. To carry out this plan several hundred school pencils were sold, and money for vari- ous projects was obtained. During the Christ- mas season part of the money derived from pencil sales was used in donating a large bas- ket of food to the poor. This year the Hi-Y boys developed a fine basketball team and played several of the other schools. XYASHINGTON IRVING CONCIQTIT ORCHICSTRA

MEMOIRS OF 1934 i l BOYS GU-EE CLUB Although the VVashington Irving Glee Club has been rather small this year, it has maintained if not exceeded the high standards set for it by the preceding glee clubs. This may be accounted for partially by the fact that the organization lost only three -of its members last year through gradua- tion. Several under-classmen were unable to belong this year because the rehearsals were held twice a week as a regular class. This club, too, participates in all school concerts, and has been especially commended for its fine work. It is a member of the West Virginia State Federation of Music Clubs. The oflicers for this year were: Presidents, Frederick Stuart and John Sernenakg secretary-treas- urer, .lohn Semenak and Charles Toompasg librarian, Horace VVellsg and pianist, Leeru Brown. CADMAN CHURAJL CLUB Cadman Choral Club, named for the modern composer, Charles XVaketield Cadman, was organ- ized by Mr. Arms in 1919. Its membership is limited to sixty-four girls who are required to pass cer- tain musical eligibility tests. For some years Cadman has been an active member of the State Federation of Music Clubs, and has donated prize money for individual contestants. This clirb always participates in any concerts the music department gives during the year. The main purpose of the club is to advance interest in music. In addition several times during the year it has some social function. The officers for this year were: President, Julia Coffman first semester and Elizabeth Hornor second semesterg secretary, Betty Buzzard first semester and Jean Smith second semesterg treasurer, Rebecca Atzrodt iirst semester and Margaret .lean Smith second semester, librarian, Aim Babb Hrst semester and Barbara Hornor second semester: pianist, Julia Coffman. ORCHESTRA The VVashington Irving Concert Orchestra is one ofthe best developed o1'ganizations of the school. Under the direction of Mr. Arms, it has done much to increase musical appreciation in the community. Six successive years the concert orchestra entered the state contest, and each time was declared winner. The organization is entering the contest this year, hoping to gain more laurels for the school. 1 1 1 'Q .l i l ,4 1 .J
