HISTORY - I hardly know how to say what I am about to say. We, three hundred teen agers are hurt more than you grown ups, the pub lic, could ever know. One or two clubs have refused to give the Teen-Agers any more aid, bccausc of a rumor that some one started. The rumor goes like this: "The Teen-Agers ?re taking over the Community building and running the Scouts out". The Scouts are teen-agers, and future tee 1-agers. Everything that we work for and put in the community building is for the public to use. We ask that one night a week be set asiJc for us. Saturday nights. We pa> one dolbr and fifty cents each night for the use of the room. We do not use the Scout rooms and the Scouts do not meet on Saturday I nights. So that the public may be bet ter informed, I ha\e compiled a 1 history of the Teen-Age club from j the records kept by our chairman. The Teen- Age club is sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Association. A new chairman is appointed each year by the PTA. On Friday night, September 13,1 194(5, at the American Legion hut, the Teen Age club met for the first Vera J.nu time. Mrs. Robert Safrit, jr., and Mrs. Hilton Hill | were chairmen for that school , year. 1 believe 1 am safe in sayint* that these two mothers should bo Riven m uch credit ?in organ izing our first club. During the summer of '47, that school year and the summer of '48, crcdit goes to Mrs. Julian Hamilton, chairman for her ever enduring efforts to keep us happy and well-chaperoned. Then came the school year of '48 with Mrs. (ira.uien Paul chairman and Mrs. Viiriith Hassell, forhairman. Ev erything was going fine A well , pla 1 cd program tor the year was I in order, when suddenly, the last of September, we were informed that we could not use the Legion Hut any more. It was then that we began using the Scout build ing. When we first walked in the Scout building on Pollock street October of 1948, we found a bare hall, or almost bare. There were Venetian blinds and a piano, some long tables and benches used for oyster roasts. The floor was ce ment. The committee mothers were discouraged and who wouldn't be? We met and tried to dance, but would soon be tired struggling with that cement, so we'd go on the sideline and sit on the hard bcnches for awhile, with our backs I breaking against the concrete wall. The mothers would put heads i together, wonder why we didn't dance more. We were plain tired. By the end of the 1949 school year, we had a stove to keep us warm, donated by Mrs. Bonnie Davant and the oil tank by Mr. Tom Pot j ter. Six folding chairs, Dr. Pry theryh; one chair, Mrs. Hayncs; lamp, Mrs. Robert Safrit, jr.; use of waxing machine, City Appliance co.; labor on wiring, Mr. George jcotti.gham; 10 per cent discount j on materials from Huntley's; print 1 ing 200 membership tickets, M P. j Skarren; $12.60 on Coca-Cola box, ! Jaycee's; $25, Junior Woman's club; I and $12 Mrs. Roland Bell. A bal | ance in the bank of $77.86 of which $75 bought settees and chairs j which Mr. George Eastman re duced and sold to us tax free. Along comes September and ! school. Our Chairman, Mrs. Mar i tha Loftin, co-, hairma i, Mrs. Lena ! Lipman, and their committee of ' eight mothers met and mapped out their plans for each month, with one important goal in mind: an as phalt tile floor for the boys and firls to dance on. We've waited long months fpr that floor, $300 is a lot of money. The floor is cemented to the Scout building, it belongs to the biulding, we're hap py that we have been successful in getting it. Also this year we had Raymon Paul's craft shop to make us a beautiful desk and two coffee ta bles. Donations have been: one floor lamp and two table lamps, donater asks that his name be with held, but he would like to say that if there had been such a club when he was growing up this would have been a better town to live in; one card table, Mrs. Robert Safrit, sr.; three card tables, three table lamps aid one floor lamp, Mrs. George Eastman; piano stool, games.
