The Westerville Hi-Y Club, advised by Mr. Frank Stallings, has participated in various activities this year. The club entered a float in the Westerville Halloween parade. The group decided to forego the opportunity to sell Charlie London ' s ice melter during the winter due to the fact that Charlie made most of the money. Charlie, the club treas- urer, was entrusted with the profits from the concession stand at the basketball games. Under the leadership of president Gary Reich, the organization participated in the Youth in Government Program sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. with Gary and Tom Bird as representatives. The club also participated in Citizenship Day, held for the benefit of senior government students enrolled in Hi-Y clubs throughout the central Ohio area. The Hi-Y basketball team, coached by Mr. Dale Starr and led by captain Bob Stallings, ended its season by cap- turing the league championship. The officers were Gary Reich, president; Bill Darling, vice-president; Bob Stallings, secretary; Charles London, treas- urer; Phil Pearson, chaplain; Ned Davidson, assistant chaplain; and Bob Arn, reporter. The Westerville Hi-Y Club has again fulfilled its purpose: To create, maintain, and extend, throughout the home, school, and community, high standards of Christian living. Its members have tried to live up to the club ' s platform: clean scholarship, clean living, clean speech, and clean sports. Basketball! You mean we have basketball practice to- morrow! Bowling! Sure I bowl, a perfect 72! These might be statements made by members of the G.A.A. This is the first year that this organization has been at Westerville High, and everyone seems to be having fun participating in different projects of fun and sports. Basketball, being a sport which requires a great deal of skill and practice, is only one of the many sports taken on by these girls. Heavy practices are held on Saturday, along with a lot of fun. The G.A.A. has a bowling league also. It functions every Wednesday after school. 68, 101, 76, 55, and 97— this is the championship team! Patti Meyer, the President, and Mrs Gantz, the club advisor, lead the club with the help of the other officers. G.A.A. AND PROJECTION CREW Perhaps the most popular room in W.H.S. is located in junior hall across from the physics lab. The facilities there are better than anywhere else in the building. It is always well staffed and well stocked with a T. V. set, radio, tape recorder, record player, food, and even a place to sleep. No wonder our projection crew likes their Upstairs Utopia!

HIGH SCHOOL RED CROSS This year, not only was the name of the Junior Red Cross changed, but also the activities taken on by the coun- cil were of a more advanced nature. Under the sponsorship of Miss Elizabeth Passmore, the council added many new activities to its long list of old ones. At the beginning of the year, four Westerville representatives, two jun- iors and two seniors, attended the Regional Leadership Training Center in Columbus. There, many new ideas were gained to help make the High School Red Cross a successful organization during the year that followed. One of the many projects of the Westerville group is sending student volunteers from the High School Red Cross to work in various Columbus hospitals. Much knowledge and experience were gained by this work. This year the group was lead by President, Fred Bennett; Vice-president, Bonnie Meece; Secretary, Nancy Bauer; Treasurer, Karen Jennings; and clerk, Martha Caesar. Row 1: Ruth Walcutt, Joyce Elsom, Treasurer Bonnie Meece, President Fred Bennett, Secretary Nancy Bauer, Sharon Ballard, Mary Lou Young.

Yes, this is what you hear when you are in show business, but since show business is in Hollywood and New York, we don ' t hear this very often. Oh! but you could if you only belonged to the Thes- pian Club. Our star is Betty Miller, president, co-starring Sharon Lust, vice-president; and Donna Earle, secretary; trea- surer, Karen Jennings; and clerk, Martha Caesar. The main goal for the club this year is to raise enough money to go to New York. Anyone can belong to the Thespian Club and become a star!
