The Y-Teen Club is a junior organization of the YWCA. Membership in the Y-Teen Club makes you a member of the national club. The club's purpose is: To build a fellow- ship of the women and children devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians. This year the t'Freshies were really initiat- ed. The combination G. I. A.-Y-Teen Hallo- ween Party proved to be fun for all. Never to be forgotten was the skating party held at the Roll-o-cade. To climax a very successful year the annual Spring Frolic was better than ever, especially the beautiful decorations. PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN

MAJORETTES Jo Hanna O'Nei1l, Clarene Chambers, Joanne Ollila, Barbara Ames, Margaret Weatherston Band AcHviHes Probably the most highly disciplined organ- ization of the entire school, the Jefferson High School Band was forced to overcome several handicaps this year before it regained its high musical standing of previous years. During football season the band lost thirteen players to the football team. Although ex- tremely crippled by its loss, the band managed through hard, persistent labor to perform for the public in its usual spectacular fashion. The band had prepared what was probably its most complex show for the half-time of the season's last game, but was unable to perform because of the extreme weather conditions. The greatest handicap of concert season was the deplorable conditions under which the band was forced to practice. However. through the combined doubled efforts of the band mem- bers and their very capable director Mr. Walk- er. th-e band took a firm hold on its precarious position and began practicing in earnest for the contest to be held at Leavittsburg. Prac- tice was essential if the band was to uphold the tradition established by the Jefferson High School Bands of the past two years-that of rewarding the townspeople for their indomit- able spirit by returning to Jefferson with a Superior rating. Then, after much more prac- tice, the process must be repeated at Colum- bus. The inexperience of the majority of members was the third major handicap to be overcome. This was accomplished through ex- amples set by the older members and through section and band rehearsals. Until this third obstacle was removed, no one in the band, including Mr. Walker, was able to breathe freely. Then, with all hard- ships forced into the background, the Jefferson High School Band look-ed toward the future with bright hopes for an outstanding season. PAGE TWENTY-N INE
