Description
The Holt Hi-Y Club takes gift baskets to shut-ins around 1949. Holding the left tray are Faye Pittman, Verna Mae Skelton, Eleanor Pate, Barbara Clements and Cora Stone. Holding the right tray are Florine May, Joyce Causey, Judy Hamner, Margie Scales and Olene Sams.
The well established YMCA program aimed at school-aged children had it's roots in early YMCA youth programs. The term Hi-Y was first officially used in 1927, but the YMCA had been active with youths since the 1850s. Hi-Y stands for High School YMCA and was for boys only. Tri-Hi-Y (the female version) started soon after the Hi-Y program. "Tri" comes from the Triangle Girls Clubs. Now the Hi-Y program is co-ed.
