Y-TEENS The enthusiastic group of Y-Teens were headed this year by Suzanne Vosmer, presi- dent; Barbara Dieckbrader, vice president; loan Howard, secretary; and Carolyn Blak- eney, treasurer. Under this capable group of leaders, the Y-Teens participated in another eventful and enjoyable year. The first meeting of this year was the in- formal initiation of forty new members, fol- lowed the next week by the beautiful candle light ceremony of the formal initiation. At the close of the football season Ierry Roberts and loan Reid were chosen King and Queen of the traditional Football Royale. As usual this dance was one of the highlights of the year. The colorful decorations and enter- taining orchestra provided everyone with a festive time A joint meeting of the Hi-Y and Y-Teens was held when they entertained children from the Madisonville Orphanage at the annual Christmas party. The traditional Santa Claus was played by Jay Eisenhart and with a gayly bedecked Christmas tree the party was a great success. Our concession at the Senior Carnival was The Book and Flower Shop. It was very successful resulting from the hard work of the chairman, Barbara Hanaford, 74 and the cooperation of all the members. This spring our main event was the Moth- er's Tea which is an annual affair. Refresh- ments were served and a program of enter- tainment was presented. The purpose of this tea is for the mothers to become more ac- quainted with the activities of the club. The capable chairmen of the various comv mittees were: Devotional, Rebecca Miller: Publicity, Barbara Hanatord; Inter Club, Dor- othy Blakeney; Service, Lois Leavitt; Social, Phyllis Williams; Membership, Millie McArthur. Many interesting programs and excellent speakers were presented at the meetings throughout the year. A variety of topics was given us in an entertaining and informative manner. During March the Hi-Y and Y-Teen Clubs sponsored a Vocational Guidance program which provided for a group of speakers on many vocations. These lectures were open to juniors and seniors and many of the students received valuable help and information. Mrs. Barnes was the Y-Teen adviser this year and through her capable and efficient help, and with the interest, cooperation and hard work of all the girls, this was a thor- oughly successful and enioyable year.

HI-Y This year the Hi-Y prospered under the capable leadership of Ierry Roberts as the president and Mr. McNeil as the adviser. With the support of the remaining officers, Everett Spelman, vice president: Yate Deer, secretary; Bill Lindquist, treasurer; and Bob Radle, chaplain; this organization had its most successful year since its institution at Plainville. One of the first activities of the club was to give a semi-formal dance, which turned Out to be one of the best of the year. The high- light of this affair was a very entertaining floor show starring Marty Iones, Rosalyn Lueders, Nancy Bailey, Randall Greiq, Clift Loy, Morgan Damerow, and Bill Hanaford. The next event proved to be very interest- ing This was a joint meeting with the YeTeens on What to Expect on a Date, in the form of a panel discussion with three members from each club constituting the panel. Every- one seemed to enjoy this meeting immensely. During the Christmas season the Hi-Y and Y-Teens gave baskets of food to the blind. These baskets brought a note of cheer to the recipients and consequently to the organiza- tions themselves: On New Year's Eve, another activity, spon- 75 sored jointly by the Hi-Y and Y-Teens was the dance held in the cafeteria. The feature of the evening was a quiz program and every- one present spent a delightful evening. ' Later in the year the Club went to the Y. M. C. A. at Walnut Hills to meet with the Hi-Y organizations of Hamilton County. This meet- ing was followed by swimming in the Y pool. About a month later the members engaged the Wyoming Hi-Y and the Terrace Park Hi-Y in friendly games of basketball. These proved to be very enjoyable and helped to further fraternal relationships between the organizations. Shortly after these games it was the Y-Teens' turn to invite the HieY to a joint meet- ing. There was good entertainment and re- freshments were furnished by the girls. Early in March an assembly was held by the two organizations as an introduction to their jointly sponsored Vocational Guidance program. This new experiment proved to be Very successful and shows promise of being continued in future years. Mr. McNeil and the Hi-Y are to be congratulated for their extended efforts in making this program of the ctub worth-While.
