The Rockville Youth Center was established in 19h5 through the welfare Office by Mrs. Mildred Hardesty and Miss Alice Brown, who called a meeting of representatives from various clubs and organiza- tions in Rockville and presented the idea of a youth center to them. From these representatives, smaller committees were appointed to get funds and supplies and to find a building to be used for the center. Each class from the seventh through the senior class elect two youth center council members-one boy and one girl. The council plans monthly'dances and other social events which are held in the center. Those who are members of the council this year are Maurice Fisher, Ann Hardesty, Max Swaim, Nancy Clary, Richard Gordon, Doris Cooper, Shir- ley Holler, and John Overpeck. During the past year a new plan has been adopted, whereby TUes- days and Saturday afternoons are for junior high students alone; Wed- nesday, Friday, and Saturday nights are for high school students, and Mondays are reserved for dancing lessons, which are sponsored by the Tri Kappa. The Youth Center is very fully equipped with recreational facil- ities, including a pool table, ping-pong tables, a piano, card tables, a phonograph and popular records, a dance floor, and many other games and fonm: of entertainment. There are also booths bordering one wall. Mrs. Hubert McClain has acted as hostess for the Youth Center for the past two years and has done a fine job in meeting with the council and helping to plan parties, dances, and other activities for the Youth Center.
