An open house at the YWCA was given for the purpose of celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of Y-Teens. On the program was the traditional hanging of the greens. Again this year Y-Teens collected chocolate bars to send to Europe and with them went several letters from the girls. Many of these were answered by other teen-agers in foreign countries. The local branch of Y-Teens, which consists of members of both East and West high schools, is a part of a world-wide organi- zation sponsored by the YWCA for the purpose of promoting fellowship and good sportsmanship. 12

Cease your wondering! That M stands for 1 'A monitor , and those chairs were set aside for those patient and dependable students who watched over the halls . . . Monomen. A few of the tasks these students performed were regulating hall lights, directing visitors through the building, and keeping the halls free from wanderers and noise. Whatever time was left was their own, and they could spend it studying if they wished. One of these guardians of the halls was selected by the Dean of Girls, Miss Winifred Ledger, to be the traveling monitor. This student saw to it that the other monitors were at their assigned posts at all times. All these people belong to a loosely-knit organization known as Mono Club. Leading the large Mono stali for the first semester was Roger Keene, president, Sandra Moore, vice-pres- identg Mary Gillman, secretary, and Tom Karahalios, treasurer. Co-advisers for the year were Miss Wini- fred Ledger and Mr. William Aleks. Monitor, LaVerne Christofferson, checks yellow admit of Wanderers Judy Mintz and Janice Rudin. 14
