We urge our members to attend church regularly. Each Hi-Y meeting is opened with a devotional service. Discussions give a chance for intelligent thinking about civic, religious and social responsibilities. Hi-Y has helped to bring about a realization of the necessity for clean, healthful bodies. One of the most impressive services of the year was the induction service for new members under the supervision of Mr Soule, the County Hi-Y Secretary. We have had three good speakers: Dr. Staton, Mr. Rosnagle, and Rev. Long who showed pictures of our national parks. Our president, Gerald Hurley, was sent as a representative to the State Hi-Y Conference and also serves as secretary to the County Hi-Y. HI-Y IS NOT ENTIRELY SERIOUS. FELLOWS. DO YOU REMEMBER: Initiation of new members. Rockie really got it! The time the Black Knights entertained us at their cabin. All the Hi-Y pins on girls around school. Our basketball game. Some of the fellows weren't in training. The game room we never fixed up. Wolfing at district conferences. Expressions of bewilderment and confessions in the dark room. It's a wonder there isn't more blackmail going on around school. Pag© Thirty

in the District Tournament C. Creager Forward Strader G. Furnas R. Rockhold ]. Morton Guard Forward Guard Manager Captain Other Tournament Player not in Picture — W. Wright. This win over Jefferson entitled West Carrollton to enter the semi-finals against a tough Camden aggregation. The Pirates had beaten the Cubs earlier in the season, but the Camden team had improved considerably. In a very hard fought contest the Pirates once a-gain emerged victorious by a 38-22 count. Harry Coatney and Bob Strader were the big guns in this game with 12 and 10 points respectively. The following night the West Carrollton cagers found themselves in the finals playing a scrappy Centerville Quintette, consolation winners of the Montgomery County Tournament. Earlier in the season, the Elks had beaten the Pirates 30-26. The Pirates bowed out of the tournament that night, as the Elks again defeated them by four points. This time the score was 33-29. Even though the Pirates did not win the tournament, everyone will remember that valiant band of boys who, rated in almost every game as the underdogs, made the name of Pirates prominent on the basketball courts during this 1942-43 season.

Girls’ Sports Build Health Senior G. A. A. Mildred Lowman........................................President Dorothy Critzer......................................Sec.Treas. Miss Hile. Miss Dennis.................................Advisers BOTH G. A. A. ORGANIZATIONS WERE HANDICAPPED BY THE RESIGNATION OF MISS HILE. At the end of the first semester, Miss Hile left West Carrollton to teach in Bethany College, West Virginia. For six weeks there was no regular physical education teacher. Girls who had begun to earn points toward their G. A. A. letters were unable to finish. Consequently no letters will be awarded this year. Likewise the fact that so many older girls are now working after school has interfered with regular meetings. Three parties have been given — a Christmas party, a farewell for Miss Hile, and a joint Hi-Y and G. A. A. dance. With Miss Dennis as the new director, the girls are now enjoying baseball and other spring sports. Junior G. A. A. Blanch® Penwell...........................................................President Wanda Boyer..........................................................Vice-President Nancy Zehrung.......................................................... Sec.Treas. Miss Hile. Miss Dennis.....................................................Advisers JUNIOR G. A. A. HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED ITS MEMBERSHIP. On Sept. 22 the younger group organized with seventeen members. Immediately the girls started earning points for their letters by playing volley ball, soccer, dodge ball, and by tumbling. Their work was also stopped when Miss Hile left. Since the arrival of Miss Dennis, however, they have reorganized with forty seventh and eighth grade members. Junior G. A. A. had a Christmas party and another big feed in March. But even feeds don't have clear sailing anymore. The question is where to get the ration points for weiners! Row 1 — Bush, Stevens, Link, M.
