The local elimination contest was held March 17. The two winners in each activity then were en- titled to participate in the league contest, this year at Whitewater on March 24. judges from the Uni- versity of Wisconsin selected winners from the five schools represented to go on to the district contest.

Mr. Miller The first accomplishment of the Hi-Y organization this year was to build one of the biggest and best bonfires the school has ever had for the Homecoming pep rally preceding the fooball game. The Hi-Y sponsored the annual Snowball as main feature of their social activities. The theme of the dance was Little jack Frost Get Lost and Bud Wilbur supplied the music. By secret bal- lot Lucille Stone was elected queen and was crowned during the evening by jim O'Connor. The Hi-Y holds its meeting the first and third Tuesday of each month. Every other meeting is devoted to sports while the other meetings are devoted to educational lectures by local and out- side speakers. - All the Hi3Y organizations in Walworth County were ranked on a basis of l25 points. Points were awarded for orderliness at meetings, the manner in which officers duties were carried out, and the recreation held after meetings. The Hi-Y at City High ranked highest in NXfalworth Coun- ty with 95 points. Much credit for the success of the Hi-Y goes to Charles Miller who proved to be a capable leader. He was assisted in his leadershp during the second semester by Carl Palmgren, a senior at the local College.. Due to the efforts of these two people and the interest of the members, the year has been more than a successful one. Page Twenty -three
