Y-Teens PROMOTING FRIENDSHIP AND FUN as its objective, Central’s Y-Teen group is the youngest of the school’s many organizations. On the Y pin is a globe, symbolizing the club’s international scope. Members have heard speakers on current youth problems, and have sent a basketball team to com- pete against other Y-Teen groups in the city. At Christmas the group participated in a pageant, sang carols, and hung holly wreaths. In an inter-council fashion show planned to raise money for the World Fellowship Fund, members acted as hostesses, and modeled clothes from Halle’s.

Regi- ments of eager Memphians—the Blues, the Eagles, the Guards—had followed the Stars and Stripes—26 stars, that is—to the Mexican War where Lee and Grant were fighting side by side. Like Vigilantes of a later day, the Guards and the Blues had or- ganized in 1843 to assist reform Mayor William Spickernagle in bringing law and order to their rowdy river town.
