a ii' T , QX WWE A If XX, S 2' if I PLTISDEE ALLEGIANCE TD Keeping in mind the purpose of the Hi-Y, To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character, the Wyoming Club has come through again with flying colors. It received a charter as an A-1 club. To balance their budget, the boys relied upon The Little Goldmine, the paper baler, along with the sale of varsity sweaters, and collection of dues. The club sent Don Lathrop, jay Formsma, Russ Shay, and Dewey Purchase to the State Y. M. C. A. Training Camp on Torch Lake last summer, and plan this year to send delegates to Hayo-Wfent-Ha. The camp is a great training place for officers which is one reason why the Hi-Y is influential in the school. The stupendous task of painting Sybil ll was under- iatkeng and turned out a red. white and blue beauty. Other projects undertaken by the boys were: Getting the well-known speaker, Dr. Slutz, to speak at an assembly, making a pledge to the local Y to send a boy to the Na- tional Congress at Oxford, Ohio, and sponsoring the home- coming after the Grandville game, where free cider and doughnuts were passed out. As delegates, Lathrop and Shay were sent to the con- ference at Highland Park. The club also took an aciive part in planning the Boy and Girl Conference. Swims at the Y, basketball and periodical potlucks formed a nucleus of entertainment for thc boys. Officers for the year of '41 were as follows: President ---- Don Lathrop Vice Presideul ---- Russ Shay Sefrelfzry - - jay Formsma Treasurer - Bob 'XWilliams f5'4l 9 911' 4. , TVA L' THE FLAG Burk Row flefl ia riglwlj: R Olson, O.

I V . . rv This year has been a banner year for the high school orchestra. We can all be proud of the fact that our string section is constantly growing and that the orchestra as a whole is becoming more perfectly balanced. The orchestra this year has a membership of forty. This number includes eleven violins. three cellos, one viola and one string bass. For the third consecutive year the orchestra again pro- vided music before. between and after acts of the junior and Senior plays. It opened the program of the Spring Festival by playing several difficult and well performed selections, for its final appearances of the year. the orchestra played at the baccaleaureate and commencement exercises, offering music for entertainment and also for the procession and recession of the graduating seniors. Very definite growth has been evidenced in the school's instrumental music department through the development of several soloists and ensembles. The instrumental en- sembles which represented the music department of Yifyom- ing High School were the Brass Quartette composed of cornetists, Robert Mellor and john Peppler, and trombon- ists, Howard Breese and Donald Earlyg a String Trio com- posed of Russell Dood. Gene Burkholder, and Robert Ten Brockg a Clarinet Quartette composed of Lewis Striegle, Dick Olson, Betty Breese, and Gene Burkholderg a Piano Trio composed of Catherine Peppler. Anne Stuit, and Elaine Van Swedeng and a Trumpet Trio composed of Robert Mellor, john Peppler, and Clair DeMull. E153
