Hello Guenther--
To my unpracticed eye, the word appears to be "Iugendtsahme." The first
letter has a "J" loop on top but its bottom (no loop) sits on the writing
line and doesn't extend below it, as the "J" in the common name "Johann"
does. Could as easily be a "T" as a "J".
Thanks very much for you help!
With friendly greetings,
Paul
