A post-game mixer helps relieve students' tensions following a hard-fought contest. Graduation Are W. L. Paper drives, parties, dances-these were the activities that told us spring was finally here. It was a time when studying was more diffi- cult than usual and concentration was nearly impossible. Students found it hard to wait for the three o'clock bell each day as they saw the landscape starting to green and felt the warm spring breeze flow in through the windows. But the calmness of it all was broken by the juniors, eager to raise money and begin work on their big dance, the Junior-Senior Prom. Car Washes and pickle drives took up the time of the seniors as they prepared for their last great fling, Gala Week Parties. All this and spring fever made schoolwork of secondary importance. Lynn Taylor and Diane Kelly take- time out from studies to enjoy a refreshing breath of spring air.

Hi-Y, the largest boys' club at West La- fayette is also the only boys' service club found here. Pledges must obtain a total of three ser- vice points and write a theme to be initiated into the club. Formal initiation takes place at the Mother-Son Banquet sponsored by the or- ganization. Riverboat Rhythm was the theme of the annual Hi-Y dance which was held on Novem- ber 18. Ushering at home athletic events, preparing football and basketball programs, selling pop- corn and coke were all under the direction of the Hi-Y club. Possibly Hi-Y's greatest achievement was their sincere work to put an end to the hostility of inter-city rivalries. These rivalries threatened to halt inter-city athletic contests. Mr. Robert Sum and Mr. John DeYoung were the sponsors who guided the club's activi- ties.
