Teen-Agers Form
Organized Group
Encouraged by a $150 bank
balance, and by hope of some
day possessing space in which
to plan their own recreation, the
Valley’s teen-agers took steps to
effect a formal organization
last week. Seventy teen-agers
signed the membership oath and
participated in the group’s first
election.
Officers selected to head the
group, which is to be known as
the Palmer Teen Age Club, in
cluded Alma Roark, president;
Jack McKechnie, vice-president;
David Ingalls, secretary-treas
urer.
Club members stated that
their policy was the “promotion
of good clean wholesome fun.”
All signed a statement in which
they promised to bring contro
versial matters into the open
“for honest discussion” and that
they would “refrain from
spreading idle or damaging ru
mors.”
The executive committee of
the Palmer Teen Age Club, made
up of its officers, with Charles
Dillon as adviser, are to meet in
the near future to draft by-laws
for the club.
