boys lila years old. They are carefully
selected, and a candidate who makes the
grade may take a justified pride in his
accomplishment.
Take the case Of Myles Chace. IA, Of
14O7 Graham road, Falls Church. His prog
ress toward junior leader is typical.
Myles came to the YMCA in December
and became one Of go in gym class. After
he joined the group, this Green Hedges
student told Louis " Meyers, associate d.
rector of Health and Physical Education
he was interested in becoming a Junior
leader
From then on everything Myles did was
carefully watched by staff members and
other junior leaders. They observed how
interested he was In helping other boys,
and soon learned his helpfulness was genu-
inc.
He was invited to club meetings every
Saturday. During these sessions the boys
talked with him about his interests and
asked pertinent questions. Among them:
