Officers and carry-over members were elected in the spring of the 1966-67 school year and the remaining homeroom representatives were chosen as school resumed in the fall. In October, Stuco .sponsored the election for Homecoming Queen and attendants. Ar- rangements for the field festivities were made in coordination with the PTA. The annual Christmas assembly was presented by the Student Council. An open- ing prayer, reading of a passage from the Bible, and thoughts on the Yule season were presented by Stuco members and a guest speaker. The assembly closed with the singing of familiar Christmas carols. One of the highlights of the .school year came in the spring as the council sponsored the student exchange program with Bell- ingham, Washington. Through this program the two repre- sentatives from each school helped to broaden the knowledge and understanding of their respective communities.

Tea, Banquet, Services Encourage Fellowship The 1967-68 projects, banquets, meet- ings, and teas highlighted the .activities of the Abilene Y-Teen club. Throughout the year this group of girls continued to pro- mote good-will and to help others. The first main event of the school year was the mother-daughter covered dish din- ner held jointly with the YWCA. This was followed by the annual fall district meeting which this year was hosted by Abilene. Latter in the year, the World Fellowship Banquet was held for the first time in the school cafeteria. Foreign costumes and food were representative of the other coun- tries where Y-Teen organizations have been established. Entertaining skits and spirited carols set the mood for the Christmas mother- daughter tea. Secret Sister Week, centering around Valentines Day, continued the tradition of each girl having a .secret sister to whom she gave presents and notes. The week ended with a party, with each girl discovering the identity of her secret sister. In addition to the many social events, each committee of Y-Teens had a special service project, through which the members encouraged fellowship with others. Pizza. chow mein. and tamales were among the foreign dishes served at the Y-Teen World Fel- lowship Banquet.
