Morning Star, June 13, 2025, pg. 5 The club helped with various Albion fundraisers and community projects. One of them was the all-school trip to Greenfield Village in 1939 which we wrote about in the March 14, 2025 edition of this column. For many years, the faculty advisor for this group was Vernon Baldwin, long-time Albion High School biology teacher. From our Historical Notebook this week we present a photograph of the members of the 1941-42 school year Hi-Y Club, and their graduating years if known. Officers of the club that year were: President, Lester Stone; Vice-president, David Kipp; Secretary' Wendell Sebastian; Treasurer, Walter Nester. One of the speakers at their monthly meetings was Ernest Gray, faculty member, who spoke to them on November 13, 1941 about the "Four-Cleans:" Clean sports, Clean scholarship, Clean living, and Clean speech.
