I'm certain the occupants of the Youth- Centre were not that juvenile to, spit on elderly folks' windows. I'll admit some of the rules were fair to a certain extent like the noise, loitering and use_ of. profane language. The kids tried to make it work! They tried.

We all realize that the adults helped very much and we appreciate it more than this town realizes, but as the saying goes, too much. of a good thing don't last — and it's true in this case.
