Y. M. C. A. NOTES

The Hi-Y Club rendered a most in
teresting program at their weekly
meeting last Friday night in the form
of a debate on the subject, Resolved,
That Life Is a Game of Chance" Mrs.
Elliston, Mr.. Titus of the Central As
sociation, and Counsellor Carey acted
as judges. The affirmative was rep
resented by Fred Polk and Hosea
Hicks, while Charles Clark and "Ulie"
Andrews brought up the negative. Had
any one been listening from the out
side he would have thought that
he was listening to old and seasoned
debaters rather than to a set of high
school boys. The argument on each
side was so close that the judges de-
cision came near resulting in a tie
affirmative SO, negative So.
For the past four weeks a discussion
course has been held at the Central
Association each Monday noon. Dur
ing the past two weeks the race prob
group of our representative men at
tended the last two sessions and con-
tributed greatly to the discussion. 1t
is expected that some permanent good
may grow out of the movement as
result of these discussions.
The Father, Mother and Son ban
! quet which was served at Scott NJ. e.
Church on Monday evening was the
most successful ever held. 1t was fos-
tered by the Olinger Cadet Band and
the Pioneer &C. C. T. P) groups of
New Hope, Scott, Central, Campbell
and Mt. Pleasant churches. Leo H.
Davis, leader of the band, was the
guest of honor. A program was con-
Quoted by one of the Pioneers and par
ticipated in by different pastors and
others. Seventy fathers and Mothers
| and Sons sat down together, and the
ladies served sumptuous dinner
Several Big Brothers also had their
Little Brothers present. AT the close of
the dinner it was beautiful sight to
see the boys going off between their
dads and mothers.

No athlete should select third

fatal in a third sacker. This is due
to the fact the throw at third is
