ing Made for Boys Conference.
Last Tuesday evening the higl
school boys club held meeting il
the \. M. G. A, starting the new
year by electing new set of officers
When the meeting was opened there
were only about 25 boys present but
as the election began more youne
men came until about thirty-fve
were in attendance This was abou,
the same as that of the first meeting
last year. E. w. Brandenburg acted
as chairman of the evening and be
fore the officers were chosen he asked
that the boys be careful in that they
should elect those who were really
capable OF handling the affairs of the
club. Mr.. Brandenburg also spoke of
the success of the work in the boy Is
department last year and then he
said that w. H. Wones and other
men of the state organization had
spoken to him of the success of the
Wausau boys, and because of this
and for the reason that with but few
exceptions the elections of last year
were certainly q success in that the
right boys were chosen. Following
this the clubs officers were chosen,
Albert Mohr being chosen president,
julie Young, vice president and
Eugene Tnayer, secretary-treasurer
Following the election of these
three officers the following boys were
chosen to head tine seven various
committees: Ben Hudtloff, education
al; Herman Riebe, physical; John
Manson, f. O. B.; Carl Goerling,
membership; Chester Hartlett, relig-
ious; Alfred Crandall, general; Clar-
ence LaCerte, financial and Elvin
Hartlett, social.
The remainder of this week will be
among the boys ''F. O. B" week.
The name signifies "For Other Boys"
and number of the boys last year
agreed to give so much month to be
sent to headquarters for missionary
purposes. A beautiful trophy cup is
to be awarded to the Y. M. G. A. in
the state, sometime in the near
future, which makes record for it.
self in regular attendance at bible
classes, the largest increase in boy
membership and in many other ways
among them the f. o. B. funds and
this is practically the only place
where the Wausau boys fall down and
where their chances for the trophy
darken. But the "WauSau spirit"
again shows itself in the younger
generation and not willing to lose
this beautiful cup the week For
Other Boys has been planned. All
week the young men are going to try
to raise the fund and with such an
young mao as John Man
son at the head of the f. o B. COM
mittee success will surely come.
And then on the % and 30 of this
month the Boys conference will hold
it's meeting here and many things
are being arranged for the boys who
attend. E. w. Brandenburg makes
the statement that from 300 to 400
boys are actually expected to attend
this beneficial program. Some splen-
did men have been secured to take
part in the two days program and it
is belieyed that it will be one of the
best ever secured for any Boys con-
ference which has met anywhere in
Wisconsin. The boys are making
big preparations for the entertain
ment of the visitors and they will be
given the best time that our Wausau
boys can possibly give them. Accom-
modations for the two days will be
secured free for those who have re-
corded early enough to be put in the
homes of our Wausau Y. M. G. A.
members.
1t will not be very long either, be-
fore the Tuesday evening suppers and
bible classes, held through all of last
season, will be resumed. New mater
ial will be taken up for discussion
this year and f. w. Brandenburg,
who has charge of the boys depart
ment, is collecting material which he
hopes soon to put into for the various
groups of boys. There was very
good attendance last year all through
and with almost 80 young men in
this membership the average attend
ance this year will surely increase
quite bit.
