Description

Delegates to the 15th annual Texas Youth Convention of Christian Churches that opened Wednesday for a four-day meeting on the Texas Christian University (TCU) campus were reminded, "there's a difference between trying to impress people and earnestly seeking answers to the world's serious problems." Miss Linda Hillsamer of Victoria, president of the Texas Christian Fellowship, delivered the keynote address to approximately 1,300 representatives in opening services in Ed Landreth Auditorium Wednesday night. Incoming officers and representatives, elected at a meeting in Brownwood earlier this week, include Stan Read of Dallas, president; Miss Penny Paxton of El Paso, vice president, and Miss Jan Jones of Belton, secretary. Area representatives to the Texas CYF executive committee are Miss Kaye Austin of Lubbock, Eddie Safford of El Paso, James Ricks of Lampasas, Charles Bunce of Austin, Joe Holt of Corpus Christi, Mike Bergus of Houston, Miss Myra Daughtery of Kilgore, Ron Logan of Denison, Miss Ann Strother of Wichita Falls and Miss Judy Davis of Fort Worth. The program Thursday will include a speech by Reverend Bob Richards, of Laverne, California, 1956 Olympic pole vault champion, at 2 p.m. in Ed Landreth Auditorium, and a speech and study group conducted by Dr. M. Jack Suggs, professor of New Testament in TCU's Brite College of the Bible.
