BOYS DENoUNCE HI-Y-CLUB

On Monday of last week Prof. D.
M. Crockett, principal of the Booker
T. Washington High School called
large group of boys together to or
ganize a Hi-Y-Club. A majority of
the boys openly protested against the
club.
On asking their reason of opposing
the club the following assertion was
made: eve are young and can't al
ford to sacrifice our good time for
such religious clubs" This shows
that the majority of the High School
boys have opposed an organization
which has done mucvh for the pro.
gress of Christian young men OF
America. Sine protested because OF
the refusal of the Principal to allow
public socials at the High School.

club for girls at the school is pro-

sion of Miss T. E. Hudson and corps
