Leadership for the clinic will be provided by college selected from the South and supervised by the YMCA professional staff. As part of its campaign to promote clean sportsmanship, the State YMCA of Georgia is providing training experience for high school cheerleaders through a clinic at Rock Eagle Tark near Eatonton. High schools throughout the An Injustice! Georgia students are sharply divided as to the wisdom of lowering the legal adult age to 18 years. Many students agree with Connie Earnett, 14, Smyrna, that most teens have completed their high school education by the time they're 18, and "a graduate is enough to vote deserves the privilege of being called an adult." Kathe Mullen A 'Miss Teen9 Finalist Atlanta's Kathe Mullen, a pretty 16-year-old brunette, In one of 24 finalists selected from thousands of contestants throughout the nation for the title of "Miss Teen, U.S.A.." which was won -by Peggy Collins of Lake Charles, La.

The Atlantan adds that "age really has little to do with maturity, but if the legal age is lowered from 21 to 18, it could then be lowered to 17, to 16 and so on." Barbara Ilindman, 14, Fair-burn, thinks "the years between 18 and 21 should be left to allow the majority of teens to mature and properly prepare for adulthood Although some are mature enough to accept adult responsibilities at 18, many are not properly prepared by then. To change' the legal adult age would be unfair to them They may try to take on responsibilities they cannot handle, and fail to uphold their standards." In his winning "letter, Atlantan Jim Black, 18, declares a teen-ager can see the injustice of this law" that sets the legal age at 21. He continues: In the state -Z of Georgia, the legal age should be lowered to 18 because (I) a person vwu vote in all elections at 18 years.
