Mr. Clark the present advisor of the Club formed the Hi-Y here. Raymond Washburn was the Club's first President. Some of the things the Hi-Y trys to accomplish are: 1. To learn to make intelligent choices in situations where the right or wrong is not always clear. 2. To broaden our interests along constructive lines. 3. To learn the value, by experience, of genuine religion in our lives. 4. To develop attitudes toward other people- people of different races, religion, sex and economic level, that will make us happier and more useful members of any group or community. 5 To be able to discover our own best attitudes toward every day questions as smoking, drinking and cribbing, so that we will have found convictions of our own and not have to depend on the other fellow's judgment. 6. To be able to choose intelligently the right vocation. 7 To develop initiative, responsibility, leadership and team spirit. Every year several members attend a Twin State Conference for Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This year the Conference was held at Pawtucket, Rhode Island. In May, two of the odiicers went to Springfield to a Conference to receive instructions on carrying on the Club for the ensuing year. The officers that have just been newly elected for the coming year are: President, Fred Connors, Vice-President, Charles Steinhoffg Secretary, Lloyd Blair, Treasurer, Perry Darling.
