Speaker Wed
On Wednesday, March 19, 1969,
the Hl-Y Club of Newton County
High School was convened for Its
monthly meeting by President
David Brown. The members stood
and repeated the Club Purpose:
“To create, maintain, and ex
tend, throughout the home,
school, and community, high stan
dards of Christian character,”
and the Club platform: “Clean
scholarship, clean living.” A
devotional was given by Chaplain
Hugh Hudson.
The roll was called and the

Terry Savage. Fred Alexander,
Community Projects Chairman,

collection of money for the Eas
ter Seal Fund, and gave details

have two sons, Greer and Mason.

The subject of Mr. Stephenson’s
talk was “The Greatest Person
ality.” He reflected that no one
personality In history has had as
widespread an effect as that of
Jesus Christ. He cited that
Christ was at once both God and
man, which undoubtedly accounts
for his profound effect, since he
was able to combine divine know
ledge and power with human con
tact to teach the Gospel.
At the conclusion of the pro
gram, David Hays adjourned the
