In order to be the girl God would have you to be, you must make a lot of decisions throughout your life, such as: (1) Choosing the pro- per books to read; (2) choosing friends who are thought a lot of in the community; (3) watching your manners and conduct; (4) keeping close to God; (5) keeping in close touch at all times with your family. Besides these, many others will have to be made. However, life can be a happy one if you make it so. If you be- come discouraged at some time, think of the following line: "Un- derneath are the everlasting arms." A vote of thanks was extended to the guest speaker by Betty Campbell.
