With the able assistance of Coach Mike Mannion, the boys made this year's Hi-Y a credit to the school. The initiations of the new members took place at the beginning of the year, and provided lots of fun for mem- bers and initiates. Sandwiches, cookies, and pop were served afterwards, much to the approval of all the boys. Mr. Bellak, Coach Engh, Ben Coll of the Tribune, and Mr. Shappell were a few of the speakers who spoke to the club on such subjects as health, sports, and current events. One of the December activities was the donation of a check to a needy family. In February they sponsored a gym jam, and sent lake Faust, Harold Faverty, Bill Corbin, Dick Parsons, Bob Clark, Huck Davis, and David Faunce as representatives to a city Hi-Y banquet at the Y. M. C. A. March saw the initiation of-an entirely new activity- intra-club basketball. Four teams were organized within the club to play games among themselves after the regular Mon- day night meetings. Charles Buser, Ed Blozovitch, Craig Kun- kle, and Bill Corbin were appointed captains of these teams.
