(io Zri-Hi- V Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting, get understanding. —Proverbs IV President Vice-president Secretary Treasurer The Tri-Hi-Y, an organization for the youth in high schools, is sponsored by Miss Angle. The membership consists of eleven students from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. The purpose of the organization is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community higher standards of Chris- tian character. Meeting regularly on Thursdays, the group conducts worthwhile discussions pertaining to character and subjects conducive to good living. During the second semester, Teen Talk , a pamphlet published by the State Young Men's Hazel Houck Alice Swope Wanda Watkin Mary Banco Christian Association, was used as a basis for discussion. The pamphlet deals with the prob- lems which all teenagers face today. One of the main events of the club's activi- ties was participation in the tour involving the 'Torch of Friendship — The torch which repre- sents the flame of faith is on a state-wide tour of all Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y organizations. The torch was presented to the Robertsdale Club by the Tri-Hi-Y Club in Hollidaysburg in a very impres- sive ceremony. Our club, in turn, passed the torch on to the club in Greensburg. The same torch will be sent to Paris this summer. The members of the Tri-Hi-Y and their advisor. Miss Angle, at a regular weekly meeting.

He is still more perplexed when his mother announces that she is planning to marry ian old friend from the West. Henry and Spike. Ihis very close friend, with the help of Judy, try ]to fix a scheme to break these engagements be- fore it is too late. There is fun galore when they try their plan on Pat's fiance, Lester Price. How- ever, all ends well, and Henry, although his plan fails, learns a lesson and finds himself in a similar state with Shirley Reed, a little lady with a big will.

Commercial Club The Commercial Club is sponsored under the auspices of the Commercial Department un- der the supervision of LeRoy Kolva, our com- mercial arts instructor. Membership is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, who are studying the various com- mercial subjects. Through their own initiative and efforts, members of the club have undertaken worthy projects which benefit the school as a whole. Just recently they have been instrumental in helping to secure two electric typewriters and an off-set multigraph apparatus which aid them in printing a better newspaper. We know that it is this group which pub- lishes that good old paper, the Robby Gazette, the school newspaper which you and I enjoy so much. The club maintains itself by sponsoring va- rious money-making projects. Numerous dances have been held. Selling advertising space in the newspaper is another means of profits. You'll find that education is about the only thing lying around loose in this world, and that it's about the only thing a fellow can have as much of as he's willing to haul away. —Steffens
