HI-Y CLUB PLANS
ACTIVE SCHOOL YEAR

This year the Hi-Y is the best
Durant High School has ever had
1t is better organized; it has that
spirit of cooperation which is ne
cessary to all successful clubs
and it is more Christian organ
ization.
Johnny Dinas, a junior and also
first string half back on the foot
ball team, was elected president ;
Curtis Tartt, senior and first
string all-around lineman, was
elected vice-president; Doc Win
born, a senior and first string
half back on the team, was elect
ed secretary and treasurer; and
Malcolm Longinotti, a junior, was
elected reporter.
The school this year is attempt
ing to make this a more Chris
tian organization than it has ever
done. In other words, if a boy
never goes to church or Sunday
School, the Hi-Y will provide him
a contact with religion.
The programs are carried on by
letting the topic of the days dis
cussion be divided into different
parts. One person is assigned
a certain part, and he writes his
own opinion of it and expresses
it at the meeting. When all the
parts have been given, and the
boys opinions expressed, usually
tbc teacher Joins in and com
ments on the subject. They re-
late experiences pertaining to the
subject and explain why you need
this or should stop such a thing,
etc.
The Hi-Y Club this year is in
good hands, and I think that it
will really be the most success
ful the school has had.
