idea to take over and let the world
know about we teenagers. We are
really terrific.
Last week Linda Loftin, 115 N.
Dakota Av., gave a real gone
surprise party for Connie Smith.
Match, they danced and sang to Hi
Fl and INDUCED in cake. sand
witches and stuff like that there,
but it was a. smooth idea for the
twelve youngsters to surprise Con-
ME.
Doug Vaughn is one of our pro-
motors. He is busy as a beaver try
ing to make interesting projects
for party fun. He'll go way out
of his way in his merry Oldsmobile
to get us around. Doug lost in his
first bout with Golden Gloves. but
that didn't keep him from carting
boys around town to meet their
dates etc. Good man!
Shirley Tolbert is oozing with
talent she plays piano, sings, tries
to dance. She's tipping my sister
JOS theme papers for her. I like
this spirit of sharing. This gal
is cute too.
Those Hildreth kids are really
tops, Erma is an honor student.
She is taking secretarial work.
Her brother John is at the ~"
of South Dakota getting good
grades He wants to be an ac-
countant. Erma is cute as a button.
Kenny Smith is something else.
He can be found anywhere there
is a gal even when no, other boy
is about. He comes to church and
usually helps where he can. Never
see the boy without a big smile.
The Youth Rally of the Baptist
Association held their affair at st.
Johns Baptist Church Sunday.
There were over so folks there for
the meet and eats. Shirley Tolbert
is president of our group Mrs.
Ardie Hayes is the most. She's
always in there pitching for us.
Tuddie Myles is a busy gal she
never has a dull moment. She is
a youth crusader. She's forever
trying to get something going like
a youth center. If talk will get it,
we have it.
Marie Dysart is no Stacker. She
always has an open door for us
to have a party. One day we are
going to do something real nice
for her
Daddy pays us for good grades

the library. She has an "a" in
Drivers Ed. She wants to be a
Physical Therapist, Sometimes she
speaks of being a Missionary. Wish

Gated, the more secure economi-

this need; their sense of "be-
longing" has come to them in
other ways. In certain areas of
work, there is no racial compe-

is severe and exacerbates dor
mant race feelings. And too,
differences 60 beyond the
groups; the South is chock full
of individuals each with his
own ideas this, despite our
somewhat totalitarian training
and our one-party political sys-

These differences among our
people are potentially good;
this lack of conformity in feel
ings and beliefs keeps the door
cracked. What we need to real

exist. We need also something

new leadership for the South.
We cannot change the South
until we change our leadership
and ourselves; we, as region,
can have our moment of truth
only when we begin to think Of
ourselves as persons, when we
open up our imaginations and
our hearts by taking the walls
down within us. Then it will
come. And it will be a healing

pray that it does not turn into
