The purpose of the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y clubs are to CREATE, MAINTAIN and EXTEND to the fullest capacity of one’s ability, throughout the home, school and community, HIGH STANDARDS OF MORAL CHARACTER through improvement, brother/sisterhood, equality, and service in High Schools. The first Hi-Y club was organized in Chapman, Kansas in 1889.
Hi-Y and Try-Hi-Y membership pins often have year pins or other guard pins attached.
Early pins are smooth, later pins have a ridge around the triangle.

The Tri-Hi-Y logo is a triangle with Tri-Hi-Y in the corners. Within the triangle is a torch enclosed in a circle. The triangle stands for the trinity in a person's personality --BODY, MIND and SPIRIT. The circle stands for the completeness of a Spiritual filled life. The torch is a symbol of the mission expressed in the Tri-Hi-Y purpose.

This unusual Try-Hi-Y pin has a "Y" in the center, rather than the torch. Perhaps an early version?
