TEEN CLUB
#
If you're a teenager here, and you've been mis-
sing out on camping trips, hikes, swimming, horse-
back riding, skiing, dances and other group acti-
vities while here, the Teen Club has the answers
to your problems.
The Teen Club here is in the same building as
the Youth Center. The club room was remodeled
last December for the benefit of our base teens.
It has a pool table, a ping-pong table and a built-
in tape recorder.
"There are about 65 teens in the club," says
secretary Arlene Benson, "which is almost all of
the teens on the station."
Most of the club's activities provide the teens
with some rewarding experiences, such as on some
of their camping trips:
Their most recent camp-out took place last
ekend, and they went to the southern coast of
land at Skogafoss. This was about the third
ip-out in the past few months. It cost the mem-
rs $6 for the three-day weekend, the money being
for transportation and gas, food, sleeping bags
and the tents. Saturday they hiked around the
glacier east of Skogafoss and saw the unusual rock
formations at Dyrholaey. On their way back here,
they swam in the warm outdoor pool at Huergerfi.
On another camping trip, 24 club members went
to Laugatvatin. There, they went horseback rid-
ing, swimming at the hot springs pool and camp-
ing out by the Great Geyser. The next day they
went sightseeing at Gulfoss waterfall. And on

still another, they went to Husafell and Whale
Bay. This one was a four-day hike, on which they
also saw the sights at Thingvellir. On that same
trip the Teen Club members explored Iceland's
largest cave, Surtshellir.
At the Teen Club meetings, held on the third
Monday of each month, the members plan future ac-
tivities, such as car washes, shopping trips to
Reykjavik, pancake sales, camp-outs, etc. The
club room is also open from 1-5 p.m. weekdays,
during the time that Dial-a-Teen is available.
The club's dances usually feature local bands.
For instance their next dance is planned for Sep-
tember 4, and the' VP 49ers are scheduled to per-

form. The dance will be held at
the Teen Club, starting at 8:30
p.m. and lasting until 12:30. The
price is $1.50 for members and $2
for non-members. Also, at the
dance, the club members will nom-
inate and elect new club officers.
The present officers of the
Teen Club are as follows: Presi-
dent Jon Armbrust; Secretary Ar-
lene Benson; Melissa Roman is in
charge of the club's publicity;
Wayne MacDonald is the Sgt. at
Arms, and Lee Doss is the Dial-a-
Teen receptionist.
The Teen Club advisors are Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Shaw, who will be
leaving September 7, and the
club will need new advisors. The
club's advisors must be a married
couple. If you or someone you
know may be interested, call Mrs.
Beverly King, ext. 2260. Also,
because the club room cannot be
opened unless an adult is present,
the advisors would appreciate any
help from other couples.
