Michele Salyer and Lar- risa Raum snuggle up to a new friend. During a Younglife meeting. Kim Burtnclt listens as the rules for a balloon stomp are explained. It was difficult to explain exactly what Younglife was to a student who had never attended a meeting. The mystery could only be solved by- joining the group during one of their Wednesday night gatherings. During the meetings, regular members par- ticipated in skits, sang songs and shared common beliefs. Dedicated counselors encouraged members to develop new friendships as well as their faith in God. Younglife meetings are almost like parties, except we get high on life instead of beer, remarked one member who added, It’s an ex- perience everyone should have.” An extra attraction to the club was a retreat to Hill Top Ranch in Maryland. The trip proved to be a great success. Kim Burtnett, an active participant in the club, concluded. The whole year was a lot of fun. I'm already looking for- ward to next year! After a night of panty raiding at Hill Top Ranch, members gather by a well decorated tree. Younglife: Sponsors: Olivia Cornell. Deanna Crowder. Kiki Galvin, Betsy and Fat Goodman and Andy Lauzier.
