Liz Aune Farrell and Natasha
Pentz are credited with helping
make the International Year con-
ference a steccess.

Both are members of Soromundi

“sisters of the world’ — a
YWCA-sponsored group for
young wornen in high school.

Coordinator Cathy Sull said the
goal of the program is for the
members to plan and execute activ-
ities that they themselves would
like to do. In the process, she said,
they learn leadership skills.

“They have an opportunity to
try things out in a non-threatening
atmosphere. They're not graded,
and they're given support by vol-
unteer leaders and their teacher
sponsors,'' she said.

“They can expect to make new
experiences and to make a new set
of friends."”

There are six Soromundi groups
operating in the Lower Mainland,
with members ranging in age from
13 to 18 years.

Still said between 40 and 50 local
high school girls are from West
Vancouver, Sentinel and Hillside
high schools.
