The Strathmore High School Y-Teen club didn't get started until December this year. However, they accomplished a. good deal in the short time they were active. The group held night meetings at the homes of various members. They planned their entire program themselves, under the direction of Miss Aubery, new club adviser. Officers who served the group were: President. Glenda Marchg vice- president, Ona Lee Powerg secretary, Judy Tocchini: treas- urer, Lola Mae Longley: program chairman, Carol Bequetteg and devotional chairman, Dell Juan Hughes. The club raised money and helped send two delegates, Judy Tocchini and Barbara Branch, to the Y-Teen midwinter conference at Asilomar. Eight other members attended the confer- ence. Mrs. Claude Branch and Miss Aubery accompanied the group. The Y-Teens held a slumber party at Glenda March's home after a basketball game. A rollicking good time was had by all, especially by Miss Aubery. The high school Y-Teens joined the Sunnyside and Strath- L to R Barbara Nelson, Barbara Branch, Delphia Pierce, Georgia Rogers, Ruth Gange.

This group presented the program for the affair. Several girls attended mem- bership dinners given in Orosi and Exeter. These provided opportunities for meeting girls from the different clubs in the district. A committee this year drew up what is probably the first constitution the Strathmore High School Y-Teens have ever had. This constitution went into effect in Liarch. The Y-Teens are the teenage members of the Y. W. C. A, This organization has clubs in eighty-seven of the worlds countries. It is the largest womens organiza- tion in the world. Its pu1'pose is to build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we seek to understand Jesus, to share in his love for all people, and to grow in the knowledge and love of God. -by Ellen Woody L to R--Donna Gill, Patsy Coley, Carol Fillmore, Nadine Spuhler, Phyllis Knutson.
