Lions, Child Study Groups
Promise Sponsorship

clared "off limits" for Nine
Twenty members.
ST. MARY'S
Janet Reed and Oscar Socia
were named TO represent st.
Mary's High school students on
the board of directions. For
some months there has been no
ST. Mary's representative.
DIRECTOR RELENTS
Director Murphy stated today
that "he is glad to give the club
a second chance. but only so long
as there is adequate adult sup
ervision and cooperation Of the
membership" He says the new
plan sounds excellent, but it IS
definitely on probation.
Parents of Nine Twenty
members are urged to note that
henceforth members need only
sign in at the Saturday night
dances, but need not sign out.
They can not. however, return
a second time the same evening.
This removes responsibility from
the Nine Twenty Club for the
time members arrive home-a
matter the Nine-Twenty board
and its adult advisors are lay
ing in the laps of parents and
children themselves.
Those who met at the Weller
home to work out the new plan
were Mrs. Paul Benz, Child
Study I: Mrs. Frank Weller,
Mrs. Milon Grinnell, and Mrs.
s. Y. Barbakoff Child Study H.;
Mrs. M. H. Parres, Child Study
III: Stuart Green, Jerome Servo
and Frank Weller of the Lions
Club. Nine Twenty representa-
tives were Catherine Prud-
homme, president; Wanda Wal
lace. secretary; Joan Prindle,
MCHS 10 grade representative;
and Bill Weller. MCHS 12tn
grade representative.
GUESTS of Mr.. and Mrs.
Philip Van Hollenbeck, 241 Eu-
cid avenue, on Thanksgiving
day will be Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Welch of Detroit. and Mrs.
Welch' son, Cadet Thomas Paul
Schock, student at the Hall Of
the Divine Child in Monroe. who
will remain for the holiday
week end with the Van Hollen-
bccks, his grandparents.

w HAT A DETERMINED

WHAT A DETERMINED
GROUP of high school young
sters can do is demonstrated to-
day by the announcement that
the ne-Twenty Club has re-
organized its rules, achieved
backing of at least two major
groups of men and women in
Mount Clemens, and has pre-
vailed upon Arthur Murphy,
USO Club director, to rescind
his resignation as advisor.
The club will hold its first
dance under the new system Sat-
urday night at the USO Club,
with a seven-piece CT band from
Selfridge Field furnishing the
music. Chaperones will be Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Weller. Mr.. and
Mrs. Jerome Servo. Mr.. and
Mrs. Staurt Green and Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel Y. Barbakoff.
Out of the maze of emergency
meetings and appeals for help
comes the new order. The Nine
Twenty board of directors ask
ed representatives of all serv-
ice clubs and the. three Child
Study Groups to meet with them
ct the home of Bill Weller on
Monday evening, to set up a
workable system so that the
teen-age club of 900 members
could continue to operate its
weekly dances, after Murphy
had denied them the club and
resigned because of laxity of
parents and lack of cooperation
of the members themselves.
Only the Lions Club and. the
three Child Study Groups sent
representatives, but these two
groups worked out the plan of
monthly sponsorship, and it is
hoped that the other service
clubs will back the effort. The
Lions club is backing the youth
organization for the month OF
December.
NEW RULES
To combat the complaint OF
laxity in chaperonage the fol-
lowing rules for chaperons were
drawn up
l. Circulate all evening.
2. No smoking, eating or
drinking on the dance floor or
in that room.
3. No one goes in or out the
side doors.
4. Occasionally go into the
lavatories to see if everything
is satisfactory.
5. See that there is no playing
cards for money.
6. Help to see that the clean
up is taken care Of.
7. There should be chaperones
at the front door, two side doors
and all about the lounge.
NEW GUEST SYSTEM
Guests must be introduced VI
some board member and a guest
card obtained. No one but out
of-town boys and girls can be
guests, and members are re-
sponsible for their guests, and
for any infraction of rules by
them.

 Despite the confusion of those first few moments, the crew was cool and orderly. Most of the Coast Guardsmen were already at their battle stations when general quar- ters sounded.
