Page forty-two YEAR (Ehtba anb AtfmmatimtB WESTERN CANADA HI-Y CLUB This Club was formed four years ago under the mentorship of Mr. Johnson. It has as a background, many successful years at South Calgary, and so is not an entirely new organization. As a Club, it has sponsored such activities as the Debating Society, Current Events Club, Vocational Talks and Boys’ Sports. In addition, members meet once a week to discuss topics of current interest, and enjoy the fellowship of the Club. Club Motto: “To create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.” Members: Mr. T. E. A. Stanley, honorary president; Mr. F. D. B. Johnson, mentor; Lloyd Hutton, president; Frank Johnson, vice-president; Bob Taylor, secre¬ tary; John Davidson, treasurer; Don Clay, Art Gill, Don Hoar, Ralph Hoar, Bill Fisher, Joe O’Connor, Roland Richardson, Ken Robertson, Bill Russell, Bonn Smith, Dick Stapells. DEBATING SOCIETY The Debating Society got away to a good start this year by electing Mr. Stevenson as club mentor. An inter-class debating league was drawn up and a great display of debating talent was brought to light. We, the students, would like to thank the teachers who showed such an active interest in these debates and trust that they were rewarded by the debating entertainment as were the students. It is the hope of the class of ’33 that debating will become an integral part of school activity in the years to come. The Executive was: President, Lloyd Hutton; Secretary, Frank Johnson. Representatives: Grade XII, Howard Patton; Grade XI, John Davidson; Grade X, Morris Shumiatcher. THE GIRLS’ ASSOCIATION About two years ago a Girls’ Association was formed in Western, to which every girl in the school belongs. This Club was organized for the purpose of pro¬ moting friendliness among the girls and also for sponsoring the Girls’ Initiation. We sincerely hope that this Association will continue in future years. Officers: President, Carrie Speer; Secretary, Gertrude Scott; Treasurer, Marion Egleston; First Vice-President, Patricia Mitchell; Second Vice-President, Dorothy Hutton.
