The Hi-Y Club had its first meet
ing. of the school year ON Monday,
September. II. 1928. at seven o'clock
A banquet was served under the d.
rection of Walter George. A good
representation of the club was pres
ent. as well as the following visitors:
Mr.. Dickerson, Mr.. Beahm and Rev.
Pimlott.
Mr.. Dickerson who is the Y. M. C.
A. Secretary for the State Of Colorado,
gave a very fine lecture on the place
of the Hi-Y Club. During his talk he
gave a very vivid account OF the con-
ditions, as he found them. in Europe
on his recent trip to Austria Hungary
where he attended the boys confer
ence of the world. He deeply i'm
pressed every member OF the club
with the great responsibility of help
that the world is in today.
TIE Hi-y club Is planning Tor a
membership campaign in the near
future, and is looking forward to a
very successful year.
The chemistry laboratory has been
moved to the third floor to allow an
extra class room on the second floor.
Mr.. Rodewald's classes are delighted
with their new room. Miss Tyler's
classes, which have been reciting In
the auditorium. will move into the
room vacated by the chemistry de-
partment.
Miss Thomas will be in charge of
the girls glee club and the high
school orchestra. About seventy-six
this is too large number for one
class, they will be divided into two
classes.
The orchestra is coming more slow
ly, than the glee club, but enough
have signed up for the mandolin and
ukelele to form a mandolin club in
Delta Hi. Mr.. Will Ratekin will have
charge of the boys glee club.
On Monday the students of the
High School assembled in the Audi
torium and were given their lockers,
which were assigned alphabetically,
according to their last names. Mr.
Beahm said that If the boys did not
like their positions it was on account
of their names, and If the girls did
not like theirs they'd have to change
their names.
The Mothers and Daughters tea
given by the Y. w. c. A. Tuesday
afternoon was a great success. A very
effective program was given In which
Miss Thomas, Miss Grigsby. Mrs.
