YMCA Notes
GRA Y CLUBS
Gra-Y Clubs which provide an op
portunity for boy to get together with
boys his own age during leisure hours
under the guidance of a competent
leader. The program of the group
supports the character training pro

therefore, that parents understand the
organization and program of Gra-Y
and that they participate with their
boys and club leader in Gra-Y activi
ties. This is often accomplished by
parents serving as members of com
mittees that sponsor Gra-Y Clubs and
i that assume responsibility for their
j maintenance and,growth. Gra-Y Clubs
in this community have organized at
