In main, I pointed out that nothing. had been done about provid- ing a Teen -town since the request was received two years ago. I recommend- ed that, since the greatest need "was for the out-of-school teen-agers, a sere- ond alternative would be for the Liong. Club to appoint a very active commit- tee which could work with the High School and use the High sehoot facili- ties, This committee could hand out "Admit Cards” to 'suitable teen-agers. to attend all High School parties and dances, A representative of the com- mittee should attend au the major functions•. Any outsider whose actions .werenot suitable for such a group would have his privilege card with- drawn. It was my opinion that 11 tw' or three of these cards were with... drawn, to show that the rules of the sehdol were to be obaerz+'ed, that aim most ev'eryt teen -aged boo l r1; could be adrblttect to 'them, futi ilius,"
