Methodist Youth Fellowship officers Ellen Roach, Jason Shelfer, and Hal Fletcher take their turns in the narration during the preformance of the Christmas Story. During the First Presbyterian Youth Groups' ski trip, it is obvious that some are more adapt at skating than skiing. First Presbyterian Youth Groups' new idea of selling hot chocolate, hot dogs, and chili on the square as a money raising project for the yearly ski trip, proved to be prof- itable. m m m. 232 Ads

---- Projects Attract Additional Members to Share in the Work and Fun Church youth population has in- creased more and more every year. This was partly due to the fact that a larger number of kids and young adults needed to learn about Christ and the Bible, but at the same time still “wanted to have fun. Kids were faced with more severe problems than in the past. Most kids in youth were just be- ginning to drive, date and be ex- posed to peer pressure. Because of these problems, most people needed someone or something for answers. Church youth leaders and youth programs provided these answers. Not only were questions answered, but fun activities were always planned. Trips, dances, hay rides, and games were only a few of the events throughout the year. Fund raisers were an important part also. On December 1 the First Presbyterian Youth group sold chili, hot chocolate, and hot dogs on the square to raise money for their an- nual trip to Beech Mountain in North Carolina. The Baptist had a Prime Rib dinner in which the Youth members were waiters and waitresses. Another of the Presbyterian’s money raisers was a “Fifth Quarter Dance which was held November 20 after the last home football game. Ski trips were part of the Centenary Methodist Youth and the Presbyterian’s Youth groups year. The Methodist and their Youth leader, Cheryl Smith, went to Sugar Mountain. It was an experience having jason Shelfer and Hal Fletcher teach every- one to ski. The Baptist Youth took a trip to Chop Bottom Hollow, Kentucky. They held a Backyard Bible Club for the children there. When they left, the children were looking forward to their return visit this summer. Today even the older kids are be- ginning to see that Youth wasn’t just for ‘‘little kids. The fun, projects, activ- ities, fellowship and friends made Youth groups more popular. Lisa Lewis and Coach Wilder laugh at their cooking difficulties in the cramped kitchen on the ski trip. Ramsey Curry chooses to balance on the outside rail of the rink rather than fighting the crowd on the ice. Church Youth 233
