This year we initiated 11 greenhands and 4 chap- ter members. We have one Iowa Farmer, James Otto, and we have another boy trying for the de- gree this year. He is Burton Johnson. The 1957-58 officers were President Burton Johnson: Vice-President Harlan Hogrefeg Secretary Merle Larson, Treasurer Jerry Ottog Reporter Dennis Otto, and Sentinel Ralph Watts. Our advisor, Mr. Polzien, is a 1956 graduate of Iowa State College. He has helped a great deal in making a success from a slowly dieing FFA. Harlan Hogrefe had our chapter chain sow this year. We received 6 hogs which sold for a average of 20 cents a pound. In December we harvested our corn. We sold the corn to Barney Kindwall. Later the chapter picked up the corn which the picker missed, we then sold this corn to Burton Johnson. Burton Johnson represented the Alta Chapter at Sioux City. He toured through the stock yards and appeared on the nightly T.V. market show. EFA-FHA Picnic The Chapter held a Parent-Son Banquet Feb- ruary 28. About 70 attended the banquet with Burton Johnson as master of ceremonies. The chapter took their own movie which they showed that night. Our Parliamentary Procedure team and ex- temporaneous speaker survived the Sub-District contest. In the Northwest District contest both groups ranked very near the top. In- judging work this year the chapter also rated very high. At the Sioux City four-state judging contest, Alta's team composed of Burton Johnson, Merle Larson, Jerry Otto, and Clem Le- doux received a total of 27,964 points out of a total of 32,000 Jerry Otto placed third in the swine Judging. D In general our chapter has improved very much in the past year due to the help of our advisor and by the cooperation of our member. Hot Dog!

Just Because we found Ninety-Nine Ways we realize How Little We Know. We were rushed - We Had too Little Time to reach our Destiny. The Little Red School House In Old Shanty Town on Fifth and Main Street, known as Happiness Street was our headquarters. How Little We Know, we pleaded In Self Defense, when the One and Only Mr. Fuller, our advisor, told us Just One Step at a Time!! No Other One, but Mr Fuller 4 Without You Some- body Somewhere would have been Taken to the Blues. Thanks For the Memories and With a Little Bit of Luck, and The Magic Touch we reached the Great Day.
