Allied Youth, llentral's Largest Ulull Allied Youth is a teen-age organization to help young people learn the facts about alcohol and face the social pressures of drinking. lt was organized in the early l93O's by Dr. Daniel A. Poling and a group of other national leaders who felt a new approach to alcoholism was in need. Allied Youth is non-political. It welcomes all young people regardless of their faith. lt sets no scholastic, economic or social standard for membership. The only requirement for membership is that you are in the age range of I4-30 years and interested in the objectives of Allied Youth, which are: l. Teach the facts about alcohol: Z. Establish an alcohol-free fellowship of young people: 3. Conduct programs of character educa- tion, teaching individual responsibilities to the community and societyg 4. Strengthen personalities among young people: Officers and Sponsors of Allied Youth 5. Help community understand its alcohol problem. All members are inducted using the induction ceremony. During the induction ceremony the symbols, which make up the Allied Youth em- blem, are presented to its Post officers. The symbols are: The Torch-Stands for enlightment, which lights the path by means of proper and correct educational facts. The Shield-Stands for vigilance to guard us against the enemies of youth. The WreathffStands for victory. sets for us a goal towards which we constantly strive. The Golden Cord-Stands for unity of effort in a common cause for the welfare of society. All members make an oral statement, during the ceremony, explaining his purpose in joining. saying: My purpose in joining Allied Youth is to seek the truth concerning beverage alcohol and the best way of life in relation to this problem. Allied Youth is mostly organized in high schools and colleges rather than churches and communities. It is co-educational while many other character building organizations aren't. Allied Youth is one of the most popular clubs at Central as well as all over the United States. Allied Youth reaches out as far as Hawaii and Canada.

A Prize Student from Jugo-Slavia HW - A-ta 'ff' .j!,Zd,!g,.fJ One of our most interesting and talented stu- dents is Grozdana Lekich, a native of Jugo- Slavia. She is an earnest student of superior abil- ity and artistic talent, winning several prizes with her paintings and posters. We are fortunate to have a photograph showing her native cos- tume, and another displaying one of her unusual paintings. In the following letter Grozdana tells some of her experiences and impressions. Dear Editor: It is a pleasure to answer your question concerning my impression of America and Central High School. From the story of my father, who lived in the U. S. A. for twenty years, this country became my dream. It didn't take too long, and my dream became a fact. When I arrived in the U. S. A. in 1951, it gave me impressions hard to express. New York was a very large city, and the people and society were strange and different to me. I had lots me ww mum of diliculty because I didn't know English at all, and my three brothers and I did not have any place to live. It didn't take us too long to Hnd a way out because we found jobs. Several church organizations tried to help us, and a teacher was even sent to teach us English at home. We were working and studying, too, and soon made enough progress to become a part of American society. We are proud and glad that we have a chance to live in the twen- tieth century in the great country of the U. S. A. My ambition is to pass through school and col- lege. All I can say about the school is that the relationship between the boys and girls and the teachers is really good and modern. The prin- cipal and teachers are friendly and willing to help the students wherever they can. Sincerely yours, Grozdana Lekich
