Bingham Praises
YMCA Progress;
Outlines Goals
In his annual report, J ohn B ing-
ham, director of the Clinton
YMCA, said the local organiza
tion carried out “one of the larg
est and most comprehensive pro
grams ever produced by a YMCA
in its first year of operation,
to my knowledge.'
Bingham also said, “With all
of the success we have had and
all the good things that can be
spoken about the year 1968, we
have only reached the first pla
teau. Many things are yet to be
done. Much program is yet to be
developed to meet the many needs
that exist in our community.'
“A building program to provide
the necessary facility to carry
on much needeir activities will
need all of our attention and
energy to accomplish. We can see
these needs as we look at our
crime rates, especially among
the youth of our country, or read
our daily newspaper, or even !ook
around our own neighborhoods.*
“We are convinced that our
program and purposes are needed
now more than ever before. 4
“With these things accom
plished, 1968 will go down in
the history of the Clinton Com
munity as the year the Young
Men’s Christian Association
started. So as we enter into a new
year, may we grow even more in
our determination to be a little
more effective and more devoted
to our task and responsibilities
in moving forward to the day when
a complete YMCA facility will be
built and dedicated to the youth
of this community. . .”
Bingham presented his report
Friday at a meeting of the board
of directors and officers at Mary
Musgrove Hotel.
His report shows a total aggre
gate attendance of 139,965 for the
year. Young people participat
ed in a total of 212 teams or
groups in activities ranging from
sports to clubs. A total of 1,509
meetings were sponsored by the
YMCA, including games, club
meetings, dances and day camps.
The YMCA sponsored 32 youth
basketball teams for boys and
girls; eight men’s basketball
teams; 21 youth clubs; two tourna
ments; 17 baseball teams; four
men’s softball teams; 28 swim
ming programs; two day camps;
activities at four playgrounds. In
addition, the YMCA was the meet
ing place for Cub Scouts, par
ties, family reunions, adult
groups and various committees.

the flu epidemic at CHS. /
Each day of the past week was
marked by the absence of over
100 students and 7 teachers. Be
cause so many students were ab
sent from classes, the make-up
exams are being held this week
during regular class periods.
Although many students were
pleased with the postponement of
reports, the Seniors were very
much disappointed. Because of
this delay, the Seniors will have
to wait a few more weeks be
fore their rings will be distribut

As graduation draws near, the
Seniors are paying for diploma

iNo Appointments Necessaryt
Dr. Roy B. Suber, director of
Whitten Village, has resigned the
post of state commissioner of
mental retardation, effective
June 30.
Dr. Suber said in a prepared
statement Friday that he will re
main as head of Whitten Village.
Dr. Suber’s announcement was
released by Dr. James B. Berry
Jr., commission chairman.
The State Commission of Men
tal Retardation office is to be
moved from Clinton to Columbia.
Dr. Suber said he thought the
move to Columbia was impracti

the commissioner's pay, he could
not afford to move his family
from Clinton. He said further
that he wants to finish an im
provement program at Whitten
Village.
