a song fest is a good way to en-
tertain your church group after the
young peoples meeting.
Il breaks the ice SO that lads
and lasses get to know each other,
and gives everybody an opportunity
to make more friends.
Take a group at Pelham, New
York
Pretty Rita Arthur, 16, who NOV
ed there from California had been
used to after-church sOcials at
members homes. But when she got
to the new town there was nothing
like It going on How do you get
to meet people? thought Rita when
she saw that at church meetings
all the bashful boys sat of to them
selves, and shy girls blushed when
spoken to.
She took things in her own hands
and invited the group-from IL to
is years Of age--to her home after
one of the Sunday evening meet
ings. Says Rita:
Il though I'd experiment. The
song fest was a huge success. The
second one brought out SO people
and two ministers. Now other peO-
pie are being encouraged to hold
sOcials in their homes
The minister, Rev. Duane i. Day
Of the First Baptist Church of Mt
Vernon led the singing. Fun songs
came first "Sippin Cider" and
Tell Me Why among others. Then
before refreshments "quiet reign
ed" says Rita, and hymns such as
Jacobs Ladder" and Rock Of
Ages were sung by the girls and
guys.
Refreshments consisted Of 3 diff
erent type cookies, cup cakes, mints
and a nut and cheese spread. A fruit
punch was made with ginger ale.
Rita says:
I'VE were really amazed that
these fellows and girls were so
neat. Everyone brought his own
napkin and paper cup back to the
table and cleaned up his own
crumbs"
lhefe were no records played. It,
was all piano music and the youths
sat around on the floor. Everybody
dressed up-the boys wore their
Sunday suits and the girls wore
party dresses or blOuses and skirts.
The Rev Day commented:
i've never seen boys and girls
mingle as nicely as they do at these
song gatherings. They are friendly
to each other and have lost the
aWkWardness that seemed to exist
at the meetings"
The song festival is announced in
the church paper as we'll as listed
in the church bulletin. Parents
drive the young people to the party
and pick them up later. Rita is
hoping that some Of the adults who
have large homes will invite the
group 20 sing, SAYS she:
Parents are delighted with the
project because for one thing it
helps keep the girls and boys off
the streets"

consideration for the "constitu-
