Using this subject as a main topic, many worthwhile meetings were held to help the girls grow spiritually, mental- ly, and physically. Under the guidance of Miss Sinks and Miss Meyer, the club together with the Hi-Y sponsored an operetta, And It Rained, in- stead of the usual joint play. At the last meeting in the spring, the annual Mother's Tea was held. This is, of course, an important affair as it encourages a closer relationship between the organization and townspeople. SENIOR l-ll-Y During the school year of i939-40 the Hi-Y Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Hammer, completed a very successful year. just fourteen years ago this society was or- ganized with the purpose of creating, main- taining, and extending throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. Various phases of the creed were emphasiz- ed at each meeting, endeavoring to help the members. Interest was shown by the carry- ing out of many useful projects. ln the spring the club, together with the Tri-Y club, spon- sored the operetta, And It Rained. JUNIOR HI-Y The junior Hi-Y completed its tenth suc- cessful year as a club organized for the purpose of creating, maintaining, and extend- ing throughout school and community high standards of character. Since moving into the new school, the club is composed of sophomores and first semester juniors. The membership for the first semester was twenty- six with a record breaking membership of thirty-eight the second semester. The club was very fortunate in securing Mr. Tucker as sponsor, replacing Mr. Replogle. Meetings were held bi-monthly, with one coming during the activities period, and the other in the evening on Wednesday.

ECI-l ARTS SPE Walter Thomas . . . ..fPf9Sid9Vll Dorothy Anne Canfield .Vice-President lemme HH' ' r 'Sec'e'a'y The Spe'ech Arts Club started its active sea- Robert Shermam-.. .sss,. Treasurer son by initiating the new speech room with Floyd Bmw N Se,gea,,,,a,,a,mS an oratorical and extemporaneous contest with neighboring schools, West Lafayette winning the meet. Later the club sponsored a trip to a speech contest at Logansport in which West Lafayette won the oratorical division. The district debate tournament was held in the speech room of the West Lafayette High School under the auspices of the club. Al- though they lost in the finals of the district tournament, the West Lafayette debate team turned out a fine performance in winning the sectional tournament. Ben Davis High School, which is rated very highly in the debate world, experienced a defeat at the hands of the West Lafayette debaters. Another interesting activity of the year was the club's Amateur Night . As usual, this displayed an assortment of talent, the infamous Lighthouse Tragedy taking top honors. During the year, the club also sponsored a movie, and still later the annual dance, which as always, was a grand success. YOUNG APRIL Young April, a sequel to Growing Pains, was selected by Mrs. Mueller for the annual senior play. This production, a particularly clever comedy, is a story about the trials and tribu- lations that confront a young brother and sister, and their friends. The diplomacy exercised by parents is very humorous- ly illustrated as they try to guide their children into making wise decisions affecting their future, The play was directed by Miss Sinks and Mrs. Mueller. . FOOTLOOSE The Class of Forty-one chose Footloose as the play to de- monstrate their acting ability. The plot concerns a typical family, and the children's struggle to be free of parental supervision. The whole production was a thoroughly delightful one, and Miss Sinks did a fine job of directing, with Miss Meyer assisting. AND IT RAINED This year the Hi-Y and Tri-Y Clubs chose the operetta And It Rained, a light comedy with much clever dialogue. The singing and dancing of the leads plus the fine support and choral background provided by the Clee Club, did much to make the production such a success. Miss Sinks, Miss Roth, and Miss Fites were in charge of the production. Page twenty-four L A WY . l .
