1922 THE YP DIXIT Page13 clarinet-flute, which gave out such queer but pleasing music. From here the crowd rushed pell-mell into the rival show house, where they watched the comedy, and then solemnly arose and still quite solemnly filed out of the building, completing the evening of pepping up and spiriting. . The Athletic Banquet OR several years the athletic banquet has been rather poorly supported by the students, but this year the lunch room was filled to its capacity, and many alumni were present. John Elliott acted as toastmaster, and the talks were given 'by Secretary Eckley of the Board of Com- merce, Coach William.s, Captain Bob Brown, Mr. Leland, Mr. Ross, Captain-elect Susie Scovill, and a number of the players. The Golden Y's were presented to the men by Mr. Ross, and the singing of the school song closed the meeting. Those receiving the coveted Y were: Beattie, Brown, Cole, Dolby, Fidler, Hurdley, Hewens, Kalder, Leland, Pray, Sanford, Schafarik, Scovill and Conklin. The R men were Anderson, Bird, Elliott, Potter, Avery, Collyer, Marks, McLouth and Thorne. I Purple and Gold HE High School colors have always been a mystery. Our football team wore maroon and white jerseys, our basket ball team had red and blue suits, our baseball uniforms were brown and white. In the lunch room was a Y. H. S. banner of red and green felt. On another school banner the colors were maroon and white. Such confusion as this did not per- mit us to be very loyal to the school, because we couldn't wear our school colors, or wax enthused over them when they were dis- played, for we knew not what they were. This problem was called to the attention of the students by the Sem, and was discussed in Student Council. It was put up to a vote of the students, and at first it looked as though maroon and white would be sanctioned, but as so many schools have these colors, and as the letter issued to athletes was gold, the Athletic Council recommended that purple and gold be chosen. The Seniors had already voted for maroon and white, but im- mediately changed their vote to purple and gold, and the other classes did the same. Purple and gold was officially established as the school colors for Ypsi High. On Tuesday, March 7, a pep meeting was held for the Normal High basket ball game. A coffin was prepared, and Art Forche de- livered a touching benediction to the doomed maroon and white. After the mourners had shed copious tears. Orlow Owen, resplendent in purple and gold, jumped from the bier and led the students in the old yells. Great enthusiasm was aroused, and in the program that followed great hopes were held out for victory by Coach Moyer, Mr. Ross and Mr. Leland. The meeting was put on by the Student Council and was led by the president of the student body, John Elliott. The stage was deco- rated with purple and gold cloth and a huge purple Y on a yellow background composed a banner. These were taken to Normal High and displayed during the game, at whichthe Ypsi High or- chestra played between halves and for the dance afterwards. At' chapel April 5 the school banner, with the words Ypsi High in gold on a purple background was presented to the schoolby the Council. It was the work' of the Mechanical Drawing and Sewing classes.

Pagel-1 THE YP DIXIT 1922 The Loyalty Campaign HE Loyalty Campaign is one of the year's activities whose success or failure can only be determined by the individual. lt was carried on for the purpose of showing the students that it was their individual duty to make Ypsi High a better school by living clean lives. There were only four things that were stressed. Each day em- phasis was laid on one of them. The big new bulletin board was used to convey the slogan of the day, and in every room were placed red triangles on which were printed some quotation from the Bible or some great men. These were changed each day, and the effort was made to impress each student with ideals of clean living by making an appeal to his sense of honor and loyalty to the school. A definite program for the week was carried out, 'On Monday Clean Speech was the subject. Tuesday this was replaced by Clean Scholarship. XYednesday Clean Athletics was 'stressed on the posters, and in the evening a supper was prepared by the Home Economics Club. The program at the meeting which followed con- sisted of a series of talks by men and women who are living clean lives. Miss Downing of the Nor- mal addressed the girls, George Shawley and Coach Doc Mc- Culloch of the Normal and V. O. Nelson, an athlete graduate of the University, addressed the boys. Thursday was given over to Clean Living, and on Friday, the last clay of the campaign, it was endeavored to sum up the four C's, Clean Speech, Clean Scholar- ship, Clean Athletics, and Clean Living, and make each one stand out in the students' minds. The Reverend R. Edward Sayles of Ann Arbor, a former Y man, was secured to make a talk to the students in assembly, and his talk was a challenge to live clean. Pledge cards were distributed to each student, and after such a splendid appeal, many of the cards were signed. As has been stated, you alone determine the success of the Loyalty Campaign, and it can be considered a success if you live up to the four C's: Clean Speech. Clean Living. Clean Athletics. Clean Scholarship. Plans of Council for 1923 HE council has outlined sev- eral new plans which will be carried out next year if possible. The point system, a plan whereby honors of the school will be divided as equally as possible, will be tried for the first time. A plan of boards has been carefully developed. The Athletic lCouncil will be done away with and in its place will be a board of the council to take care of all matters of inter- scholastic athletics. There will be a social board to provide and supervise all social functions of the school. An inter- class board will also be formed, and it is hoped this board will carry on the activities in a more' systematic and interesting manner than heretofore. A finance board will handle all funds of the association and pay all debts. The council has also developed a plan whereby the editor of the Sem must make a regular report to the council on the character of work done by his staff. The council has decided to make the carnival or something similar a yearly event, and this will tax the ability of the council to no small degree. Altogether. it looks as though the Council has a full and im- portant year before it.
