At other meetings a hair stylist demonstrated some of the latest hair-do's, and at Christmas time the girls made their annual visit to the County Farm, where they entertained the old folks with Christmas carols. An open house at the YWCA was given for the purpose of celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of Y-Teens. On the program was the traditional hanging of the greens. Again this year Y-Teens collected chocolate bars to send to Europe and with them went several letters from the girls. Many of these were answered by other teen-agers in foreign countries. The local branch of Y-Teens, which consists of members of both East and West high schools, is a part of a world-wide organi- zation sponsored by the YWCA for the purpose of promoting fellowship and good sportsmanship. 12
