*The Hi-Y is a boys’ organization in high school which has as its motto and purpose “to create, maintain and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community”. The name, “Hi-Y”, is coined from the affiliation of High School and Y. M. C. A. Membership is limited to the three upper classes in High School.  Chief among Hi-Y activities in the past was a Father and Son banquet, held at the Presbyterian church parlor in March, and sponsored by the Hi-Y for the whole community.

June 1939--A crowd estimated at nearly 3,000 persons gathered in Neillsville for the season’s first Wednesday evening band concert and program. A fine half-hour program by the Neillsville High School band, under the direction of Richard A. Becker, opened the entertainment. Everett Skroch acted as master of ceremonies for the activities, which followed the concert. Mr. Skroch was assisted by Glen White, Hubert Quicker and Jake Hoesly. The program was the first of 15 such Wednesday night activities to be held this summer under the sponsorship of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, cooperating with the Neillsville Business and Professional Men’s group.

December 1937--One of the biggest and most popular Christmas parties ever held in Neillsville was on Saturday. Santa Claus gave 2,500 sacks of candy and peanuts to the kids of the community, received with great enthusiasm.  The programs opened promptly at 7:30 p.m. with three vocal selections by children of the public schools, directed by Grace Elkert. Everyone in attendance joined in a community sing-a-long later in the program.  Santa Claus arrived on a sleigh drawn by horses and a large decorated Christmas tree was on the sleigh. The back part of the sleigh was loaded down with the candy sacks to be distributed to the children present.  Santa was assisted in his work by Bob Schiller, Glen White, Lester Zaeske, and Ed Sullivan, all members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, who sponsored it with funds left over from the donations to community days.

February, 1939--Glen White, well known in the Neillsville area, will be taking over the management of Chapman’s Café on Fifth Street, this Monday. The kitchen will be under the supervision of his mother, Mrs. W. H. White. White and his mother have had considerable experience in the restaurant work. Chapman plans to continue operating the bar.
