lr'-TEENS Flowers were placed on each teacher's desk the first day of school by the Y-Teens. A get- acquainted picnic at Lafayette Park, September 8, opened the activity program for the year. During the year regularly scheduled classes were sponsored by the organization to teach the high school girls how to dance. Gothenburg was festively decorated at Christ- mas time by the Y-Teens who made nearly all the decorations themselves. Proceeds from this venture enabled the club to donate money to the piano fund and to the polio drive. After the Christmas supper December 20 Y Teen members sacked candy which was distrib uted to children down town by Santa Claus Key strips from Butternut Coffee cans were collected and sent to the Butternut Coffee Co which sent gifts to the orphanage at Holdrege, Nebraska Service projects terminated with the sale of lilies at Easter.
