SENIOR Y-TEENERS BLAZE THE TRAIL WEST Order, please, pleads Pat Shannon, President, as she tries with the help of Shirley Nettleton, Vice- President, to quiet the girls. Our adviser, Mrs. Mennig, finally manages to establish peace. The chaplains, Carolyn MacPhie and Norma Nordsiek, lead us in devotions. While Barbara Gibson is reading the minutes from our last meeting, Doris Holliger bemoans the fact that our money is rapidly disappearing. The Senior Y-Teen Club really accomplishes many things of social benefit to our girls and of service to our school, community, and the world. To be of service to the school, we helped the Freshmen begin their Y-Teen activities this year. As our contribution to community service, we sent a Christmas Cheer basket to a deserving family in Monroe, Michigan. Donna Lintner was in charge of this undertaking and took great pains to see that our plans were well executed. We participate with other clubs in the city through the Inter-Club Y-Teen Council and through the Hi-Y, Y-Teen Council at the Y.M.C.A. Through these organi- zations the clubs try to form a better world. The most impressive meeting of the year was the Recognition Service in which all the girls participated and committed themselves to the Y.W.C.A. purpose. In February the club took an educational tour through Tiedtke's Department Store. Two very successful Hi-Y, Y-Teen meetings were held this year. The first was a discussion of current day problems followed by games and refreshments, and the second was a square dance at the Y.W.C.A. Early in the year we had a Hobo Hike after which we went to the Central vs. DeVilbiss Football Game. A final farewell picnic was held at the end of this year, our most eventful year in the Y-Teens, TOP ROW L to R: Margaret Thyen, Ann Harrop, Norine Claus, Carol Garn, Betty Houston, Joyce Ehret, Patty Goss, Donna Potter.

The foundation of this club is Bible study and Christian fellowship. Just as the steel structure grows into the complete church, so do our minds grow in the beauty and knowledge of the Bible. The mighty rafters uphold the roof, Christ and His word uphold us in our every- day lives. The bricks are carefully placed, reminding us that if we want a sound structure in Christianity, we must be careful to cement the promises of the Bible in our minds and hearts. The light which gleams through the stained glass of the church window gives mellower beauty. The light of the world shining from the Bible into our hearts, colors our thoughts with His thoughts. While the organ is a mighty instrument, played for the glorification and honor of God, the humble Page 90 ' wavering violin is just as acceptable to Him. So as long as our wills are consecrated to God, it matters not whether we are strong or weak-rich or poor, we're equal in His sight. The towering steeple stands for our undying faith in Christ. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone: in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord, in whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the spirit. Ephesians 11:20-22. Our meetings are held in the homes of the mem- bers on every other Monday evening. The officers are Carol Liechty, President: Harold Bradish, Vice-President: Shirley Hart, Secretary: and Ruth Ziemer, Treasurer. Our willing and helpful advis- ers are Miss Elaine Hirth and Mrs. Virginia Francis.

JUNIOR SORELLES SPONSOR SOCIAL LIFE We started the year successfully by choosing our co-operative advisers, Miss Ruth Lukens, and Mrs. Vorys Smith. Our first meeting was held in the home of Joan Campbell, where we became members of the Junior Sorelles group of 1948-1949. Our first job was that of electing officers for the coming year. Phyllis Rupp was chosen to lead the group as President and to ably assist her, we elected Nancy Garry, Vice-President. To jot down the minutes of our Tuesday evening meetings, we elected Lois Cohen as Secretary. Kay McLaughlin was chosen to take care of the financial end of the club. Mary Perry was elected to represent us at the Inter-Club Council meetings and Sandra Getz, as Chaplain, opens the meetings with the Lord's Prayer. Pat Smith, who is our sergeant-at-arms, tries to keep order throughout our business meetings. Projects for the year included the Christmas party that we gave for the girls at the Crippled ChiIdren's Home. Joanne Ludwig, Mary Siegel, and Lois Cohen provided entertainment. Barbara White was in charge of getting the refreshments. The members were as happy as the little girls while they sat and watched them open their gifts. Barbara Link, Beverly Hughes, Marilyn Lewis and Nancy Brechenser acted as a committee to plan a project for raising money for future uses of the club. A bake sale was thought to be appropriate. Jane Tanner acted as chairman for the slumber party held at the home of Nancy Willis. Her com- mittee consisted of Marge Besse, Elaine Blodgett, Sally Hull, and Nancy Knuth. Naturally, everyone got twelve hours shut-eye after having a sufficient amount of food. We, as Junior Sorelles, feel that we have had a very successful year together and sincerely hope that next year as Senior Sorelles we will have as many exciting projects, good times, and as many wonderful experiences in working with each other as we have had this year.
