ship and ability by working on the various phases of the pro-
gram.
Highlights of the activities this year were the trip to Wis-
consin Rural Youth Camp site at Wisconsin Dells, the annual
winter party, the monthly meetings, and the spring picnic with
the Blue Shield. The club also participated in the CCC Car-
nival.
