The club meets once a week and usually there is a discussion of the matters which are especially interesting and beneficial to Juniors and Seniors in High School. The members cooperate by reading books pertain- ing to the subjects discussed and reporting the findings at the meetings. Often special speakers talk to the club. The Hi-Y Club is an international association and the different clubs are in constant contact with each other through frequent international conferences. Two delegates from the Waukesha Club attended the last one at Toronto. The National Honor Society is based on four cardinal principles, Scholar- ship. Leadership, Character, and Service, all known to the Cireeks. The purpose of the society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character. The members are elected according to grades and the number of points they have in outside activities. The emblem is the keystone and the flaming torch. The keystone bears as its base the letters S. L. C. S., which stand for the four principles above mentioned. Aristotle is said to be the sanest and most roundly developed man that ever lived. No age can place a man at his side. His Ethics show the nobleness, simplicity, purity, and moderateness of his nature, His idea that to find the best in life and to give the best to that which is at hand has been made the aim of the Laf-a-Lot Club, composed of Senior High School girls in the Y. W. C. A. The club provides for a very versatile program. Interest groups have been organized. Each girl chooses the group in which she is interested, dancing, dramatics, handi- craft. or whatever it may be: and she participates in its projects and duties. Cnirl Reserves stand united in a common purpose to find and give the best. ln this movement girls have come to know the meaning of abundant living in friendship with girls and women of many nations.

The contests are usually held preliminary to a football game and the finish is at the field. This year there were no letter-men returning to Waukeslua High School. This is always a great handicap, for th-2 letter-men not only form the founda- tion of a good team, but being veterans, they act as pace-setters and thus aid the coach in training the others. Despite this handicap, the team did very Well, for they won second place in the annual Suburban meet. The purpose of the G. A. A. is the Grecian idea of coordinating the growth of the mind and body. It aims to strengthen the character of the girl. This is a huge undertaking. but in the past years the G. A. A. has been quite successful in achieving this purpose. The Girls' Athletic Association is governed by a group of girls elected by the members for their leadership. Ten girls are selected each year to be leaders of the various groups. Thus, leadership in a girl's character is strengthened. High scholarship must be maintained. No girl is chosen for a responsible position who does not have a good average. Fifty points toward the are given each semester to every girl with an average of ninety. To receive a each girl must have earned 1,000 points in accordance with the point system. She must also have a high scholastic average and a strong character. Thus the is the embodiment of the purpose of the G. A. A. It stands for leadership, sportsmanship, character, and scholarship. Each year the most outstanding girl is chosen as the honor girl. All girls who are VJ Wearers are eligible for this honor. This girl must possess person- ality. leadership, character, and high scholarship. The Waukesha Hi-Y Club not only aims at an organization for recreation, but one of guidance and betterment for the members and in turn the raising of the GIRLS' BASKETBALL Page One Hundred Seventeen

Every girl who is a member of the Y. W. C. A. uses the blue triangle, representing the Body, Mind, and Spirit, within a circle, or the world, to picture how she thinks about a way of living. It is a symbol to show how she lives and grows with other people. VVV junior High School Athletics The program of the Junior Boys' Athletic Association plays an important part in the school life of the Junior High boys. It is there that our future Waukesha athletes are made, if indeed, the saying heroes are made, not born be true. This is the fourth successful year of its organization, during which three hundred boys took part in developing ability in volleyball, tennis, free throw shooting, and skating, as well as the major sports, football, basketball, track, and baseball. Mr. Corrigan, Junior High coach, attributes much of the success of this extensive program to the whole-hearted cooperation and spirit of the Junior Boys' Athletic Board, Mr. Kusche, and Mr. Rahn. The organization of the Junior B. A. A. consists of a board made up of two representatives from each of the classes, who meet with Mr. Corrigan each week to carry out the organization's plans. Approximately two hundred boys participated in inter-school and class track meets. The program is organized on a point system, in which the boys receive a certain number of points for sportsmanship, being on a winning team, being captain, etc. Those who obtain 500 points receive their much coveted award, the Page One Hundred Nineteen
