S i The Y's Promote Christian Ideals Through The Y-Teen year began with an informal coke party held two bake sales, and new members ran the check for new members. The purpose of the club is to stand at basketball games. For service projects, they build a fellowship of girls devoted to the task of realizing in our life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians, to seek to understand jesus, to share his love for all people, and to grow in the knowledge and love of God. The major officers were Carol Coplen, president, Carolyn Showley, social chairman, Sally Trout, program chairman, Terry Wilson, corres- ponding secretaryg Ann Hart, recording secretary, Carrie Ginn, treasurer, Nancy Greathouse, chaplain, and Miss Dale Lichtenwalter, advisor. Again this year, the Club sold salt-water taffy and collected food for the Welfare Department at Thanks- giving and for a needy family at Christmas. conducted the Heart Fund Drive in the high school, and made favors for hospital trays. For world projects, they sent thirty-five dollars to Josephine Clayburn, an Africian missionary, and a ten dollar CARE package to Korea. Co-operating with the Hi-Y, the Y-teens held ii candlelight initiation and a supper, and sponsored the Sweethearts Ball. They entertained their parents at the Ma, Pa, and Me banquet, held a senior dinner, and enjoyed a talk by a beauty expert. TOP PICTURE LCJWER ROXV: J. Van Dusen, G. Riggs, P. Thompson, A. Sharpe, P.
