YOUTH FOR CHRIST STRESSES CHRISTIAN LIVING The Youth For Christ club, sponsored by Miss Sawyer, held its meetings the second and fourth Thursday of each month. There were approximately fifteen members in the club this year, with Presi- dent Sandy Whitson, Vice president Gloria Tryon, and Secretary-Treasurer Sharon Hinkle. The primary objective of the YFC was to relate the life and problems of the outside world with young Christian teenagers. Various guest speakers which helped to accomplish this included Reverend Frost and Reverend Brown, Miss Anderson, Mrs. Hinkle, Mrs. Clark, Miss Sawyer and Miss Laszlo. This year the YFC sponsored one bake sale and entered a float in the homecoming parade entitled Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel. Youth for Christ, bottom row: G. Shire, S. Whitson, H.

BOOSTS ATHLETIC PROGRAMS Football coach Mr. Al Bromberg feels that the purpose of the club can be found in its name, Better Understanding of Athletics for Girls. Its purpose is to acquaint girls with football, basketball, and track. The girls can get a better understanding of each sport by knowing more about the rules and regulations. B.U.A.G. sponsors the annual powderpuff football game, where the girls wear football jerseys and put to use all the football information that they have learned. The game begins with the seniors against the juniors, and, at halftime, the sophomores play the freshmen. Spirit Week was also innovated by B.U.A.G. this year to arouse and boost school spirit. Spirit Week will always be at the start of football season when RF meets its area rival. East Gary Edi- son. The second Spirit Week was later in the year during basketball season. Along with arousing school spirit it also creates a good competitive spirit between classes. The profits from all B.U.A.G. money making projects have gone to the athletic fund. This year the proceeds from the powderpuff game went toward the new football scoreboard and also for new 28 basketball, track, and wrestling equipment.
