'M ' f SPIRIT MIND, BODY, SERVICE HI-Y CLUBS Did you buy a season ticket for the football games and were your footsteps shadowed until you made the last payment? Then '42 and you became well acquainted with the Hi-Y boys. Under the leadership of Mr. Hammer and Mr. Eddy, the senior and junior clubs have had an interesting year of vocational and recreational programs. Reverend Baird Gleason acted as club chaplain. To do its bit to help win the war, the senior Hi-Y collected over six tons of paper, giving a large sum of money earned from this source to the Red Cross and toward other charitable causes. Holding meetings twice monthly and attending church in a body once every four Sundays have helped this organiza- tion of boys, organized since I926, to maintain its purpose of extending throughout the school and the community the high- er standards of Christian living. Mack Thomas has been presi- dent of this year's club with jerry jones and lim Donham pre- siding for the junior Hi-Y.

BAND AND ORCHESTRA Those of us with home rooms on the second floor find it very inspiring to do chemistry problems to the strain of a mili- tary march or to study civics in rhythm with a dreamy waltz. The fifty-six mem- bers of the band are especially impressive when they parade on the football field in their new scarlet and gray uniforms, pur- chased through the efforts of the mysteri- ous l SOO Club. At the band and orchestra contest held at Sullivan, the orchestra won first division rating and a special trophy for being the best playing orchestra in both B and BB classification. The band won the sweepstake's trophy and first division rat- ing. Leslie Lewis was honored with the trophy presented to the best drum major. At the state contest at Crawfordsville, the orchestra was the only organization in class B that won first division rating, and the band merited second division rating in both playing and marching. Thus we note that '42 and you not only inspired our athletes but also excelled in musical accomplishment.
