Hope- fully, the organization will ‘still be performing vital ser- vices, in an even more unified and concerted effort across the country. ~ FOUNDERS DAY | JAN. 22nd Thursday, Januory 22, will be the 50th Anniversary of the founding of The United - Stares Jaycees. Founders Day will be cele- brated in innumerable ways Ground the country as Jay- cees pay tribute to Henry \Hy' Giessenbier and to the men who intiated their respective local chapters. In 1910, Giessenbier had a vision of young men being involved in their communities, and formed the Herculaneum Dance Club in St. Louis, Miss- ouri. At that time in the nation's history, they were concerned over preserving more conservative dance steps, such as the two-step, - and preventing the serving of liquor at public dances. In 1915, Giessenbier and his handful of friends be- came the Young Men's Pro- ‘gressive Civic Association, in 1917 Junior Citizens, and upon the urging of the first backer of the organ- ization, Clarence Howard, the Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1918. Janvary 22, 1920, marked the day of the first coucus during which The United States Junior Chamber of Commerce was officially formed, with Giessenbier to be elected President at the First Annual Meeting the following June. . At the time of the First Caucus, there were 29 cities represented; today there are in excess of 6,000 chapters across the United States, totaling over 300,000 young men involved with today's community and sécial pro- blems. * A major part of that an- swer lies in what local chopters are doing today in their communities ... what a chapter is doing today to motivate and serve humanity ... to re- spond to the critical hu- ‘man problems that plague the disadvantaged, disen- franchised, and disillusioned elements of the citizenry. What the chapter does through second generation planning for an effective future, to prepare for the next 50 yeors, will deter- mine where this entire - organization will be at its 100th Anniversary. The U.S. Jaycees repre- sents a partly-tapped po- tential for significant so- cial progress. It might be characterized as football team on the 50-yard line. There ore 50 yards of ex-— perience behind, but on- other 50 lie ahead for creating environment for change through people . Each individual Jaycee, the young mon next door, who is concerned about his” community's future, his country's future, is the quarterback . Andre’ E.
