Decatur Students Express Graiuade • For Youth Program
Grade School Pupils Show Gratitude Fof Observance In Articles Written For Recognition Pag* THANK CLUBS As a special feature of this page of RECOGNITION to the youth of Decatur, Decatur school students have contributed articles concerning Youth Week. The articles follow: For years, the Rotarians, men interested in the welftrre of the boys of Decatur, led and inspired by I that unforgettable friend of Superintendent Worthman, sponsored Boys’ Week in Decatur, it was called Boys’ Week and every ! thing was done for the!" pleasure ’ and benefit. But why recall the unpleasant i past? Soon it became evident that : to enjoy thos9 good things, it was I necessary that you had been born I a boy. That, in the very outset, ] eliminated us girls. Fortunately,, the Woman’s Club members came, to realize that washing dishes be-! comes somewhat tiresome, and we • girls came to be recognized as be-| longing to the youth of Decatur. Since then we have Youth Week! instead of Boys’ Week. The entire program last year j seven days of pleasant and profit j was so arranged that we enjoyed! able entertainment. Our succeges in scholarship ;gige recognized. \Jbrk in art, penmanual arts, and hobbies was displayed, and awards made. 1 This repaid us for our efforts dur-; ing the year. The athletic contests were begun | when the first signs of spring ap-l peared. Those provided several days of pleasure. There was keen competition among us girls, but II succeeded in several of the events, i My choice of entertainment is ■ the picture show and we were assured that the one selected by the] Woman's Club would be whole-1 some and well-worth seeing. I was, not disappointed and I not only! enjoyed the show but also enjoyed a quarter of a day's release from, school duties. This well planned program also 1 included Youth's Day in the chur l ches. Every minister gave talks, especially suited to us. Father Hen-, ties gave us one of his very able | talks urging us to form ideals andi then try to liv*e up to them. The Daily Democrat’s special issue giving the story of our a-, chievements and of the week’s aet-j ivities in such an interesting way. provided us with a memorial which < we shall cherish. To those who were responsible| for those delightful tjgjigs, we say,; “Thasfcs —a million thanks; and, do *©mie again.” HONORA SCHMITT, Eighth Grade, St. Joseph s School. I I like Youth Week became it 1 seems that then there is formed a' bond of understanding between the, older and younger generations. Of-; ten you get the impression that the, folks live in an altogether different world. Y4»th Week brings' these two generations together by I allowing young people to take part I in the older people's activities and! visa versa. I think that the form • ing of this bond of t®derstanding, is the real purpose of Youth Week. KATHRYN SHROYER, Eighth Grade, Central. me.gßoys' and Girls' Week mean a chance to match my skill 1 against my in whole some and interesting contests. In! group contests it also helps to bring us all closer together and gives to our parents and friends knowledge of what we are doing in sftool and in our school clubs. For the girls, there is a theater performance, sponsored by the! Woman’s Club, and several special l events lor the boys. Boys iind Girls' Week is a week i full of ijn for the boys agd girls |

and one long to be remembered. KATHLEEN FOREMAN Eighth Grade, Central. Youth Week was something I willQalways remember. I did not I care so much for the athletic conI tests. For girls and boys who are I interested in athletics, that week j was fine training. I was interested mostly in the other activities. Those were the Good Writer’s Club, music, art, plays, dramatic sketches, and pupils’ achievements. Youth Week gave us the opportunity to show our talents and express our gratitude to our parents, teachers and those who made Youth Week possible. a JOAN COWENS. Sixth Grade, Central. The lower grades ojji>?rve Youth IWeek too. They parade, they , marched through town, some of j them carried large signs about i Youth Week. This year the eighth I grade pupils, are invited to see I some of the factories and other ! public builfngs. The other grade ; pupils are looking forward to this ; opportunity.
