Out of school C.H.S. Students and Youth Groups While some C.H.S. stu- dents spent their out of school time partying and play- ing, others spent their time in youth groups, working to bet- ter the community. Volleyball, talent contests, and group vacations are just a few of the activities Charles- town Youth Groups sponsored and shared. l6 Reverend Roy Bennett, Pas- tor of First Assembly of God and regular substitute at CHS explained that youth groups often serve as positive influ- ences for both yOung peeple and the community. Youth groups, said Ben- nett, may not benefit the school and community visual- ly, but they help by giving them positive moral effects. But it isn't all fun and games; Members also have to donate a portion of their time to Chris- tian studies. People join youth grows for various reasons, according to Bennett. Some join to feel like they belong, others because its an extension of their church life. Girls! Girls! Girls!
