But on the other side of things sometimes compromise can be a very good way to lose good and important values. The Priesthood bro. in the church have not come to the dress standards lightly and I have heard that they have spoken with Young Adults about their adjustments to wearing temple garments and without fail, the adjustment has been the clothing that they had to throw away, and learning to dress in a way that they can wear their temple garments without problems. So is this really something we want to compromise on!!?? I don't know what the right answer is and I do know that all of us as parents and Youth leaders are just trying to keep them coming and sometimes we feel the Spirit of the law, is more important than the letter of the law. I am really wishy washy on this subject myself! But when I really stop and think about it, if they are dressing properly to begin with we would not be talking about this to begin with. I am lucky in that the YW I have they have parents that support dressing in the manner that the church has established so we don't have this issue to much. The YW that was just baptized last Sunday, her Mom had a bird about the shorts and no tank top thing at the YW's Camp Meeting. I met with her afterwards and explained what the Brothern had found out about the adjustment Youth have, and how they are just trying to help them not have that experience. She was so wonderful with it! She is married to a non-member and has not been to the Temple herself. She was blown, she said your so right, I would have a terrible time adjusting to that because of the way I dress. We are going to have to look at our wardrobe both us and straighten up!! She was just great with it when I explained it to her like that! Don't know if any of this helps! Hope so!! Just a thought but our girls do not like to wear their nice cloths to camp anyway so all the girls pick a couple wk. ends to go shopping at St. Vinnies and find pants that they can whack off for really cheep and they have a blast doing it and come up with some very interesting outfits and just have fun with it! They never wear the cloths again of course, but are happy to do it for camp!! Just a thought!! Good Luck to you!! We all love these girls so much truly our youth are lucky to have so many that care so much!!!

Here is the Hats Off Poem we used for our Grad Night. I used a cute font and then went to Kinkos and had them make it into poster size. I covered a foam board with graduation wrapping paper that had hats on it and glued the poem over the top. It looked really cute. Anyway, here it is... Hats off! Hats off! and throw them high-- The ceremony's done! You've made it! Graduated-- The excitement's just begun! To life! Come on! Raise a cheer-- Step forward if you dare. New places, Unknown faces And a million hats to wear. Some might wear a doctor's whites Or wear a nurse's cap Give shots and diagnoses, Medicate and wrap. Some might choose a Stetson To shade them from the sun, Grab the bull by the horns, or ride Not to be outdone. A wedding veil might feel just right In satin, pearls and lace With silken roses on the crown To frame a smiling face. Some might choose the roar of crowds Ninth inning, bottom side, A baseball cap upon their heads, Team colors worn with pride. Some might prefer a garden hat To keep them in the shade While they prepare the flower beds And plant with hoe and spade. Hats off! Hats off! We salute Potential unrestrained. For every hat's a challenge And a victory gained. But ever more important Than the hat you choose to wear Is the mind that thinks beneath it And the heart that knows to care. - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

For those of you who don't know about THE PERFECT long shorts -- here they are! I got a flyer in the mail from "Lysha Ray" -- there is a store in Provo called Allyes's that has really cute dresses and they have long shorts. Anyway, here is what the flyer says: - ----- "Tired of searching for modest, stylish shorts? Then your answer is Lysha Ray! Last spring we began selling shorts that met the following goals: fashionable, appropriate length, modest -- and most importantly attractive and flattering. We sold out almost immediately. This sping we're ready to keep up with demand, not just locally but nationally. The shorts are $30.99 plus shipping and handling. They are pre-shrunk 100% cotton denim, available in fashionable colors and sizes (3-17), 5-pockets, zipper fly. The number to order is 1-800-211-6400. Colors: white, ecru, natural, birch, chocolate, forest, moss, sage, dark stone, sand blast, bleach, midnight, plain black, burgendy" - --- As a matter of fact, I'm wearing a pair right now! They are definately long enough! They run a little small, though. I usually wear a 4, but got a 7-8 and they fit really good. You will love these shorts! My mom, aunts, cousins and friends have all ordered them and they have all been happy with the fit. Sure beats buying boys shorts at the Gap!! Good luck!
