The Teen Board Presentation Dance, Saturday evening Aug. 17, is one of the largest teenage black-tie dances in the country, where teens and adults alike enjoy the same social occasion.

Last year, hundreds of leading teenagers as well as adults from various parts of the United States enjoyed the same event.

The Teen Board of Knoxville is a private, nonprofit organization solely for teenagers grades 9-12, with adult help. Its purpose is to get teenagers to work and take the lead in civic and welfare projects, and to lift their social and moral lives to higher standards.

Last year, more than 11,000 volunteer hours were given to civic and welfare projects.

After 64 years, adults have seen results of this work in the good leadership in colleges and universities shown by former members.

By learning to help those less fortunate at this age, in turn they have helped themselves develop a public and civic responsibility they are carrying on as adults.
