Lakeland Youth News By Bud Smith We’ve moved. Sunday morning things really flew around at the Youth Center and in just a few hours we had the job completed. The membership turned out in droves and really worked hard at it. I’m proud of all you folks for this swell job. We will be awhile getting situated in our new home but it’s going to be the finest Youth Center anywhere. I am encouraging everyone in the area between the seventh grade and 20 years old to become members. Membership is $3 per year from date of purchase and you will be required to be a member to use the new facility. Non-members will be allowed on dance night only. Os course members may bring a guest at any time. This Saturday will be our annual “Snow Ball”. Ben Franklin’s Almanac will provide the music for the occasion. The dance will be from 9 to 12 with the crowning of our queen at 10. Don’t forget folks, this is a dress up affair with dresses for the girls and coats and ties for the boys. We will have two candidates from Syracuse, Milford and North Webster. Also two judges from each town. There will be a necklace for each girl as a memento of the occasion, a crown and bouquet of roses for the queen. There will be trophies for first, Second and third place girls. There will also be corsages and boutonnieres for the girls and their escorts when they arrive. This should be a great one folks, so try not to miss it. The Center will be closed Thursday so we can put another coat of sealer on the dance floor. ; I wonder why some folks kill themselves trying to earn enough to take it easy.
