The Y-Teen group at A.H.S. strives toward unifying girls of all creeds in an effort to strengthen fellowship of people not only in the United States but also around the world. This was exemplified by the annual Y-Teen World Fellowship Fair. Booths displayed the various foods, posters, and handwork from other nations of the world to help enrich the public’s understanding of other races. Y-Teens were involved in many services throughtout the year. A retreat was held in Chadron for the officers and cabinet members as they began making plans for the upcoming year. The first group activity was the Patteran which is a ceremony in which letters from the previous year’s officers are read to the group. Some other group activities included a pizza party, goodwill baskets at Christmas and the annual Y-Teen Orpheum. The funds raised from the Orpheum were used to sponsor an orphan from Korea, to provide money for scholarships and to aid in other philanthropic projects.

“O God! You are so-you are so-Godlike!' The opening of the Thespian play, “Noah,” was questioned when a member of the cast and a member of the lighting crew contracted chicken pox two days before production. However, in the old Broadway tradition of “the show must go on,” student director, Amy Youngman, stepped in for Mary Hoffmann for two of the three performances. Obey’s play “Noah,” with humorous informality, described what might have happened aboard the famous ark. There was, however, more to the play than the mere story of Noah; it dealt with the timeless problems of the generation gap and the tragedy of alienation. Major roles in the play were taken by: Howard McCall as Noah, Vickie Nansel as Mama, Mitch Lamm as Shem, Jim Lamb as Ham, John Paulsen as Japhet, Jane Green as Norma, Kathy Coleman as Sella, and Mary Hoffmann as Ada. The remaining roles were taken by Thespians. ‘Pox’ Plagues Play Two months of rehearsal lead to a successful production. Japhet mimicks the story of the cat told by the girls. The freeze during Noah’s soliloquy is effective. “What’s this in the dove’s beak? An olive branch!’’ God chose the friendliest animals for Noah’s voyage. 30
