The group owed its inception to the suggestion of our untiring Mr..lerome H. Cook, of Room 310. Under his enthusiastic leadership we read and enjoyed a goodly number of modern plays. The derisive comedy Beggar on Horseback , Eugene ONeill's impressive The Hairy Ape , The Green Pastures , and other masterpieces by contemporary dramatists were some of the selections. Since no special histrionic abilities are required for this method oi reading and enjoying the drama, admittance to the group was by no means limited to the dramatically inclined. - We hope future classes will continue to make use oi the opportunity to become acquainted with good plays and at the same time spend an interesting and stimulating hour after class. Above all, we wish to thank Mr. Cook for giving so freely and unstintingly oi his time and efforts far beyond the call of duty , as it were. -.lohn Appel. fQ,9,, j,,,,,,f,,,,,,'?Af - flf221efif., A

West Night Hi-Y This year West Night became one of the first, if not the first, night high school in the country to sponsor a Hi-Y Club according to the YMCA authorities. If our club is successful, Hi-Y clubs will be started in other night schools. The purpose of Hi-Y is to create and maintain in the school and community a greater Christian spirit and character. The West Night Hi-Y Club has tried by its various activities to live up to this code. On February 13th, Hi-Y held a Sweetheart Dance in the gym. The Sweetheart was elected by popular vote among the student body. On April 25th, in collaboration with the Senior Class, the Hi-Y Club helped to make the Moonlight Boat Ride a success. During the school year, Hi-Y has had a box in the front hall to collect tax stamps for the student's aid fund. The officers of the club are: Ed Suerkamp, President, Jule Prank, Vice-president, .lim West, Treasurer, and Frank Welker, Secretary. Mr. Droste was the faculty sponsor of the organization.
