PROMOTING GOOD CITIZENSHIP Current governmental problems were studied by the Youth and Democracy club First row. left to right: Jacquelyn Schatz, Dorothy Bubin, Doris Bainbridge, Susan Buben, Madalyn Me Intosh and Mrs. Grace G. Smith, sponsor; second row. George Marshall. Forest Lewis, Stephen Veselenak, William Roobins and Louis Guibord. Youth and Democracy Club Officers Steve Veselenak ..........................President William Robbins .....................Vice-President Dorothy Buben ..............Secretary and Treasurer Mrs. Grace G. Smith ........................Sponsor The Youth and Democracy club meets semi- monthly to discuss the part youth plays in de- mocracy today. At these meetings the imminent problems of the day are discussed. The members are all active in these discussions which prove interesting and educational. The club gave a Hallowe'en party and dinner at which former members who are now at Junior college were present. Anna Yambrick and Odelia Seifert, former officers, spoke at this time. At Christmas a basket was given to a needy family. Through this club a better understanding of the present day questions is found and by ex- changing ideas a knowledge is gained which should help in strengthening American democ- racy. To host play one's part in democratic society, one must be healthy. Students, to pre- pare themselves to be good citizens, must not only pre- pare themselves mentally to live in a democracy, but they must also prepare them- selves physically. As one of the first steps toward physi- cal well being Flint schools began a program of x-raying students to find any possible cases of tuberculosis in the early stages in order that they might be diagnosed and treated before dangerous developments might occur. Students were taken to the hospital to be x-rayed in busses chartered for that purpose. Northern was the first Flint school to partici- pate in hnls program and the picture shows the first of the groups ready to leave. Simi- lar groups went each Tues day and Thursday until the survey was completed The other picture shows students on their way to Hurley Hos- pital in one of the busses Page 12 194 1
