Dedicated to Building Christian Character I Each Monday night throughout the school year a group of boys meet at the Y.- MCA. for fun and business. 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.

Preparing to Solve Bigger Problems I What tun the Girl Reserves have when they meet every other Monday at the Y.W.- C.A. clubhouse atter school! This fine organ- ization, which is under the able sponsorship of Mrs. A. C. Gartley and Mrs. A. Stapleton, promotes friendship among the girls, and helps to give them a better understanding of the many problems which face them. ln the club code, the girls uphold character, court- esy, poise, dependability, leadership, and sin- cerity as their ideals. At the beginning of the year the club elected as their president, Pat Alex, With An- gela Milos, vice-president, Doris Peterson, secretary, Dorothy Bettis, treasurer, and Doris Curlee, publicity chairman. Formerly, this group was divided into two groups, the senior group composed of high school juniors and seniors, and the jun- ior group made up of freshmen and sopho- mores. decided to combine into one club. The girls are always willing to help out at any function given in connection with the such as serving at banquets, selling can- dy, or tickets. They always have excellent meetings furnished either by members of the club or from some outside source. Some of this year's excellent programs were: Mrs. l-logevolls book review, A Portrait of Ienny, a musical and literary program presented by two of the club members, Lorraine Deibler and Florence Martin, and the talks on Victor- ious Women which were given in connection with the one standard of the code Victorious Over Sell. The Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y club held a joint meeting in April which proved to be a great success. They discussed dates, and what they expect of a date. After the discus- sion, they danced and enjoyed refreshments. However, this year the two clubs 108

Scene from ASSEMBLY PROGRAM: Anita Perry, Mr. Hurd, Mrs. McFarlin, Pruth McFarlin. History Club the Most Popular in School - Under the able direction of Roy C. Hurd, the l-listory club has earned the distinction of being the largest and most active club in school. Officers for the first semester were: Anita Perry, president, Eddie Goodbout, vice- president, Virginia Reed, secretary, Ken Kell- ner, treasurer, loAnne Kirkham, historiang and Tom Tinsley, sergeant-at-arms. Credit is due Pat Alex for providing the all-around, good-time meetings that took place while she held the program chairman position. For the second semester the organization chose Mackie Beeman, president, Nancy Doo- little, vice-president, loAnne Kirkham, secre- tary, Dick Turner, treasurer, Marjorie Harris, historian, lack Pettee, sergeant-at-arms, and Carolyn Mcliean, program chairman. Early in October, practically the entire membership piled into bulging buses and were soon rolling merrily on their way to the great city of Chicago for the semesters first jaunt. A ticklish task, indeed, befell these sturdy travelers when they had to choose be- tween visiting either the Stevens hotel or the Board of Trade building. For lunch, the divided groups met at the Stevens Coffee llU Shop where they amazed the waiters with their ravenous appetites. ln the afternoon, this dauntless excursion group took in the thrilling Northwestern-Wis consin football game. lThey claim that with their lusty Waukegan lungs, they out-yelled every one. This isn't hard to believe if one thinks of the humdrum that must be hushed at every assembly programj Although tired, and it was a pleasant weariness, the excur- sioners agreed that a nice time was had by all when they arrived home again early in the evening. General chairman of this out- ing was Roger Edwards. Committee .chair- men were as follows: badges, Roland Mc- Minn and Betty Hansen, reservations, Fred leffersong Walter Hoff planned the itinerary of this successful pilgrimage. Louise Perrine was chairman of the fes- tive mid-semester dance, the Harvest Moon hop. Decorations were built around a large yellow moon that smiled down on the waltz- ers as the jack-o-lanterns lead them into the gaily decorated gymnasium. The Ambassa- dors, who played for the corn-stalkers, were surrounded by scarecrows and mammoth
