HI-Y This year Hi-Y opened with the largest enrollment in several years of about 60 members. With Mr. Reb as an experienced sponsor, new interest was shown in the Hi-Y. The seniors who held offices this year are Tommy Burgess, President and James Scott, Bible Chairman. Both have been in the Hi-Y four years. The most successful entertainment put on this year was the G.R. and Hi-Y Box Supper, with a profit of $79.50 for the Hi-Y. As the Hi-Y is made up largely of Freshmen members, we can expect much progress in the Hi-Y work in the next year.   GIRLS' RESERVES The year of 1941 was our first opportunity to really become acquainted with the organization known as Girls Reserves. This organization is to teach us how to live to be better Christians and have a better understanding of the Bible. For the four full years we have had as our sponsors, Mrs. Reyburn and Miss Mattingly. Miss Ives was an assistant sponsor our Sophomore year. During our Freshman year we had an enrollment of 156. Out of this group 8 girls were accompanied by the sponsors to a summer camp. A Christmas play "Christmas Cheer" was given. Our annual picnic was held at the park at the beginning of the year. The G. R. girls invited the Hi-Y boys to a chili supper this year. We, also, had a hilarious Holloween party in the gym. Doughnuts and cider were served. We started our second year in G.R. with an enrollment of 172. The annual picnic and G.R.-Hi-Y chili supper were held. The outstanding feature of this year was the Mother and Daughter banquet. At Christmas time, we gave our annual Christmas play and also sent boxes to boys in service. In our Junior year we added more to the enrollment. Our annual picnic was held at the beginning of the year with a large crowd attending. the Girl Reserves were in charge of the Easter services this year. The name of our Christmas play was "And the Angel Said". We also sent cards to many boys in service at Christmas time.

JUNIOR PLAY "ALMOST SUMMER" "They can't do this to me!" cries Paul. "Can't we?" snaps back the school principal -- and we're off on a delightful evening. Paul is struggling violently to avoid summer school and at the same time keep his girl from a campus big shot who drives a cream yellow convertible coupe. Paul and his girl are blissfully listening to their sentimental "theme song" when Paul's father enters with the disastrous news that if Paul doesn't pass his final exams with an extremely high mark, it means summer school instead of the lakes. This would give Paul's rival a whole summer to take his girl away from him, but Paul decides he's "gotta fight for his woman." He starts a terrific cram session and maneuvering that always seems to get him deeper and deeper in trouble. He bashes into the school principal's car, he's blamed for things he didn't do, and then just as things look a little brighter, he takes a strong emetic - but mistake - and his girl has to come in at just that moment and demand that he "sit right there and study." "You don't know what you're asking", pleads Paul.

SENIOR PLAY "GABRIEL, BLOW YOUR HORN" The Senior Class of 1945 made their last appearance when they presented the play "Gabriel, Blow Your Horn". Play practice was no doubt the best part of the play and the lay cast was a very energetic cast. Barbara Weaver, who played the part of Auntie, had a very difficult time getting use to Harold Elliott's technique. At least she pretended to. "E.J." Cavinee shouldn't have any difficulty when he proposes again. Mr. McCrum had some very helpful ideas on that idea. Not to speak of 'Eugene Crane's fast talking to Dorothy Dart and a jar of pickles to mince on during each practice. Of yes, and poor Georgia Hunsperger without a man during the play, Georgia didn't think her part was written so well. Although from glances back stage, it didn't make very much difference. Rosie Yocum didn't mind going barefoot and eating candy, but when it came to the make up she just didn't go for it. Iris Elder and Don Griffin did all the work, Don helping by making suggestions to Iris Jeanne, but never doing the work. They both had a good sun tan and they say it was beyond words when it came to washing it off. Quiet Doug Estes just strolling around eating and watching his watch. Wonder why? If medals were made for forgetting and being late, Tom Burgess would capture them all. Doris Jean Couk and Tommie swear they didn't pay Donald Meinig to hold the curtain on the first act, but people don't believe them. The play case had three grand sponsors: Miss Mattingly, Miss Vossler, and Mr. McCrum, who were very patient and helpful during the play. We regret to think that this will soon be another memory, but we wish each play cast in the future a lot of luck.
