x'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 are com- mitted by our faith as Christians, was the goal of the fifty-six sophomore, junior, and senior girls who com- prise Y-Teens. This group, governed by the Y-Teen cabinet, claimed as its officers, Beth Merget, presi- dent, Mary Drehs, vice-president, Claire Bailey, sec-- retary, and Gloria Winters, treasurer. The Y-Teens, under the direction of Miss Mary Ann McDonald and Miss Anastacea S. Lebaris, had social, business, and service meetings. Y-Teens held their annual W.P.A. dance, Ocean Fantasy, November 2, at which time the results of the laborious efforts of the group in decorating were wit- nessed and appreciated by all who attended. Chair- men of the various committees were: Doris Richter, publicity, Ioanne Graver, refreshments, Barbara Hart- zell, social, Barbara Batdorf, program, Christine Showers, worship, Barbara Wolf, membership, Dolores D'Ercole, service, Catherine Gerhart, historian. Under the chairmanship of Dolores D'Ercole, this group packed twenty twenty-pound packages of clothing to be sent through the Help the Children Fed- eration to needy children in the United States. Other events held by the group were an exchange meeting with Wyornissing, combined meetings with l-li-Y, the collection of gift boxes at Christmas, a hoe- down, a visit to Maier's Bakery, Bell Telephone, and Metropolitan-Edison, a covered dish social, etc. To wind up the active calendar of the year, the Y-Teens with the assistance of Hi-Y held their annual banquet. lfflll CABINET FIRST ROW-C.

M. C. A., to speak before the assembly. Under the capable guidance of Mr. Forrest Schaef- fer and Mr. Marlin Kessler, the Hi-Y held many en- joyable and enlightening functions including: gym night, guidance clinics, bringing in guest speakers, combined meetings with Y-Teens, and regular busi- ness meetings. The Hi-Y also supplied the labor for the school's spring planting program. One of the highlights of the year for the Hi-Y came in May when, with the Y-Teens, they staged a gala banquet. - Philip Hoeffer presided over the group for the second consecutive year, While Roger Feeg served as vice-president, and lack Shaner as secretary-treasurer.

HlUHllUtlE T FIRST ROW-I. Grimm, P. Ephlin, C. Showers, I. Thompson, R. Feeg, P. Naylor, D. Rich- ter, S. Feick. SECOND ROW-B. Geiss, G. Busch, I. Willwerth, Mr. Hubley, Mrs. Gresh, D.

The monitor system of West Reading High School, under the direction of a committee from the student council, is composed of twenty members, selected from the junior and senior classes. A member of stu- dent council is given the task of heading the monitor system, and is aided in his work by officers elected by members of the monitor staff. This year Iohn Thompson was the council representative chosen chairman of the monitor system, Iames Willwerth was elected vice-chairman, and Patricia Naylor secretary- treasurer. Mr. Martin Hubley and Mrs. Mary E. Gresh were the faculty advisors of the group. The monitors worked hard throughout the year to maintain order in the halls and to facilitate the chang- ing of classes. The monitor court was eliminated, and has been replaced by a system of student co- operation, This was done to prove the theory of the monitors that their organization is not ot policing body, but is an aid in improving conditions in the corridors, and in making it easier for students to pass from class to class. A covered dish dinner in March, and an outing near the end of the school term, were the two social functions held by the monitors this year. The moni- tor staff received a great deal of pleasure from these affairs, and they helped to make membership in the monitor system enjoyable.
