Lakeland Youth News By Bud Smith Our first dance in the new Youth Center was quite successful. This was our annual “Snow Ball” and was a dress-up affair. We had fine music and a great crowd of over 200 of the best looking teenagers you ever saw. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of our “Snow Ball” queen. We had a slight “foul up” on this portion of the program when we discovered at the very last minute that we had no judges for our contest. At this point, after your fearless leader got himself back under control, we appointed judges right on the spot. We had some of the local Civil Defense men to help with the parking problems, Tom Gilbert, Charles Vanderveer, Charles Clawson, and Earl Cooper. Tom, Cnhrles Clawson, and Charles Vanderveer fell prey to the job of judging. I will say right now, that they did a great job for us and presented us with a mighty beautiful queen, Miss Janice Busscher. First runner-up was Miss Becky Felts and second runner-up was Miss Carla Singrey. We had eight extremely pretty girls in our contest this year ,and their pictures will be found elsewhere in this paper. I am sorry that Milford and North Webster elected to not join in the contest, but maybe we can have some girls from the communities when we all join together in the same school. This week our dance will be from 8 to 11 with music by the “Article II” of South Bend. This should be a real swinger, folks, so plan to attend. Non-members may attend all dances, but for every day use of the center, we are asking that you be a member or a personal guest of a member. Memberships are only $3 per year from date of purchase so this is mighty reasonable and if you feel you can not afford the price right

now, see me and I’ll make arrangements with you about this. I would certainly like to see some members from Milford and North Webster. We will soon be one sc’.ool so we might as well start associating now. Mr. and Mrs. Schultz Entertain Sunday School Class Mr. and Mrs. Roy Schultz entertained 10 members of the Comrades Sunday school class of the First Brethren church of Milford* in their home Friday evening.
