O'U'T'H G'R O:U'P:Sl , IELD LEADERS Ml don't drink, don't smoke, don't cuss, don't chew, and I don't date any girls that do! Sound familiar? lt should. These words by E.T. Tapper, paster of Campus Ministries in Baton Rouge, LA, reflect the views some students had toward life. These students wondered what there was to do besides going to wild parties. For these students, there had to be more to life than going out and killing the neighborhood dogs with the worst smelling breath. What was the answer? The other alternative student youth groups. These were not just L'churchey groups, but wild, crazy, uplifting groups. 'Two of the most common groups that Tascosa students went to were Young Life and The Cutting Edge. These groups helped high school students face problems of every day life. They gave motivation, encouragement and that power boost everyone needed. Young Life was an orga- nization where students could go gather in a Christian environment where there was no pressure such ,as peer pressure or every day school pressure. 'iYoung Life is a place to go. Itls a place where I can have fun with my friends, and worship God at the same time. lt's not really a 'churchey' environment, H Senior Michael Busby said. The Cutting Edge, on the other hand, was based on similar values but was less of a social group. Their motto was HFor' Radicals Only and meant what it said. One thing really emphasized by the group was good leadership qualities - how one could and should endure leadership. The Cutting Edge is a place where radicals for Christ go to get fed the truth about school life situations, Senior Dusty Cagle said. But these weren't the only two groups in Amarillo. There were various others such as Joy Explosion of San Jacinto Baptist Church and the youth group at Paramount Christian Church. Regardless of the group, students soon found out that teen life isn't quite what everyone pictured it to be. There was an alternative. -Jamie Trook 2 M ,nfl-7 TWO'S COMPANY.
