Homan. singer, P. Dillon. That very active group of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade girls who thronged into the school every other Wednesday evening was our high school chapter of the Y-Teens. One of the busiest and most popular organizations in the school, the Y-Teens were constantly putting on interesting programs and planning enjoyable social events. One of the most thoroughly appreciated programs of the entire year was the Hower show held in early spring. A representative from Giles, a well-known local florist, demonstrated to the members the art of arranging Howers and making corsages. Other activities included a gym night, a well-attended doggie roast, and a visit by Mrs. Sands' theatrical group. The annual VV. P. A. Dance and yearly banquet were other highspots of the year's events. In a more serious vein, the Y-Teens packed boxes for distribution at Thanksgiving time and made scrapbooks which were given at Christmas time to the children in the Reading Hospital. Heading this enterprising organization were the following: Janet Brunner, president, Ann Grauert, vice-president, Siegrid Richter, secretaryg and Anna Cucinotta, treasurer. The officers were invaluably assisted by the two advisers, Miss McDonald and Miss Lemmert. This organization has successfully performed its worthy objective of teaching young minds that constructive ideas and deeds can be successfully and enjoyably accomplished.

Greth, livery other Fkiday afternoon as soon ascdasses are Over,the studentsrnake a mad dash to their home rooms to get their copy of the Lariat, hot off the press. Growing from the mimeographed publication of a few years ago, the Lariat has become a commercially printed newspaper. It now occupies a prominent position among school activities. The Lariat meets the demands for every type Of news. Its columns range from the gossipy Have You to the thought provoking editorials of James Robbins, Editor-in-Chief. Mrs. Bolton has freely given of her newspaper knowledge, and the whole staff has worked hard to make the paper a success. The Lariat's activities have not stopped with putting out the bi-weekly paper. The editors were sent to a press convention, where they learned many helpful pointersg and Mrs. Bolton and the editors have been constantly coaching the staff in correct newspaper technique. The Lariat picnic, resumed after a lapse of a few years, provided some well-earned relaxation for the staff. STAFF Editor-in-Chief . . . Assistant Editor . .. News Editor ...... Sports Editor .....

Applause began, growing more thunderous with every second as The Reverend Imre Kovacs modestly waited for the expression of praise to abate. The Challenge of Being an American, his speech, seemed to pervade the very air. The Hi-Y was very proud of itself and the speaker, whom they presented with the aid of the Y-Teens. President Philip Hoeifer gratefully rose to thank the impressive Mr. Kovacs. This was only a bird's-eye view of the work the Hi-Y club performed in con- junction with their usual meetings and entertainment, the Hi-Y meetings were enlivened at various times by movies and intramural basketball. Mr. Forrest Schaefer is to be congratulated for his leadership and interest in the club.
