Some of their various activities throughout the past year were an opening tea, a Hallo- we'en party, a Christmas party, a pot luck supper, a bake sale, a movie entitled No Other Gods, and a spring picnic. At the Christmas party prizes were given to three girls for the best dressed dolls. A variety of topics highlighted the regular meetings, such as, a talk on football by Coach Carol Gast, discussion on boy-girl relations, and a demonstration on make-up. The projects they have ccmpleted during the year are dressing dolls at Christmas time for orphanages, sewing diapers and nighties, and selling book covers. This is the first year that their new con- stitution has been in effect. lt was written Pat Schoonaver examines the home-baked goods while Joan Drew completes a sale to Custodian Earl Garner who had pa- tiently waited for the 3:03 bell to make his purchase from the Y-Teens, 30 D il:l1 Varied Activities and adopted in the spring of l95O.
