Our Mayor and Council waa elected under the direction of the City Clerk, Mrs. Homeric, at the end of our two-day ses sion. In Jointly planning the meeting's agenda, we were a bit hesitant as to the choice of suitable topics for discussion by flight school students. In view of the experience of the past two days, we decided on an evaluation of the Mayor and Council compensation 'with the Idea of consulting authori ties on the subject); discussion of the Teen Center, a subject with which we are ail familiar; and the possibility of expand ing the Youth City program, as we an felt ft worthwhile. I At the meeting, municipal of ficials expressed the fact that they were most interested In hearing the opinion of young Jtockvtilians on the subject of ; the Teen Center.

The dtsensaion that followed revealed that the Teen Center could be improved, as all things can. We felt that the Teen Center was unfortunately in the position of trying to make amends for a bad start. It is still suffering the pangs of this unfortunate beginning. No mat ter how good and conscientious the present direction. It will take a long time to heal the scars of past mistakes. "O K " we continued, “many be this discourages some peo ple from attending. What are some of the other reasons for the slack-off in interest?” "Number one it is unreal istic to expect 100 per cent of Rockville’s young people to be active members. Some students work on weekends; others are loaded with homework; still others prefer to devote their precious spare time to a school activity. Those with cars pre fer not to stick so close to home. Some have found that they ‘don’t fit in-’ This Is not an unusual situation in our so ciety. Most people seem to travel in particular interest groups. Maybe it takes a par ticular type of person to enjoy the Teen Center." What about the atmosphere, the building itself? "Well, maybe It could be made more homey,” we felt There’s that glass wall with out any curtains. People out side look in on you like you’re caged animals. If the girls could make some curtains, the room would have a more dub- Hke atmosphere. Then there Is the upper level by the main en trance. ‘All the world's a stage.’ As you enter the Teen Center, the upper level is the | stage, and there on the danc j Ing level is all the world to stare at you.

A closer coordination between school and Center ac-: Uvtttes would prevent conflicts and increase attendance:" By this time, nearly every one waa offering suggestions 1 based on Ms own experiences. Constructive criticism came from all sides. By the time w* were ready to move on to the next item of business, we had decided that the Teen Center program had come a long way.i that it still had a long way to go, and that we as citizens had a duty and responsibility to of f fer our support in helping make the program a success. We have since met with Mr. Lazum, the Teen Center Di rector, and the Teen Council. The outcome of this meeting was a mutual exchange of idea* and even a greater interest on the part of the Youth City par tid pants. We, the participants in this year's Youth City • program, found the two-day Youth City program a valuable learning ex perience. The program gave us a broad overview of the city's operations and we recommend Youth City be expanded to give more student* an opportunity to participate. rw eligible to i,J join G.E.M.?
