Under the direc- tion of Mr. Gilmore of the Y.M.C.A., and Mr. Schoenoff and Mr. Van Deusen of the high school, the Hi-Y maintains its high standard of conduct throughout both the school and community life. Officers were elected at the beginning of each semester. They were, for the respective semesters, Tom Tinsley and Nick Goldschmidt, president, Bob Iohn, twice vice-presidentg Russell Woertz and Kenneth Kellner, secre- tary, George Dietmeyer and Ben Donaldson, treasurer. At the State Hi-Y Conference of l939, Tom Tinsley, the local president, was elected president for the state group. Twelve mem- bers from the local chapter attended the con- ference. The club held its twenty-fifth annual Father and Son Banquet at the high school cafeteria in February. This event was the largest activity of their social year, Other highlights on the club's calender were a dance at the high school, a splash party at the Y.M.C.A. pool, two hayrides, and a din- ner for new members. The club collaborated with the Girl Be- serves on April 22 for the first joint meeting of the two clubs. Mr. Van Dausen was the guest speaker for the evening. l-ie gave his views on dating and problems concerning girls and boys. Then the meeting was opened for a general discussion by the members oi the group, and different opinions were voiced. Refreshments and dancing were enjoyed by members of the clubs following the business. This meeting proved such a success that it was decided that another joint meeting should be held. The annual spring picnic will wind up the year's activities. THE HI-Y CLUB ROW 1, left to right: Edward Goodbout, Ken Kellner, Russel Woertz, Bob john, Tom Tinsley, Norman Schwartz.
