ln order for the schools to meet th1s 1'eSpOHS1b1l1ty they need
the co operatlon of the commumty and of the home
The hlgh schools of today must by v1rtue of the1r respons1b1l

Miss Miriam Edie
Second Semester Advisor
F. I-l. A.
The year's activity began with an officer's meet-
ing at East Moline at which time our chapter's
new officers were given pointers on how to success
fully conduct meetings. During the first semester
Mrs. Metzger, substitute teacher, served as ad-
visor. One of our first projects was selling hand-
made jewelry. Christmas cards and "AlWood"
scarves were also sold.
At the beginning of the second semester, Miss
Miriam Edie was on hand to take over her new
duties as FHA advisor. During the month of De-
cember a bake sale was held at the Town Hall in
Woodhull. The meetings during the past year con-
sisted of installing the Junior High School officers,
taking a personality test, and observing various
demonstrations.

Eleven man football was 1ntroduced 1nto the Cornbelt Conference th1s year
and the boys took to lt enthus1ast1cally Although the football team d1dn't do as
well as expected we fared well agamst some of the stronger opponents Even
though the1r best efforts weren t good enough at t1mes the boys were ln there
p1tch1ng all the tlme Coach Turner d1d a swell Job teachlng everyone who went
out for football a lot about the eleven man system
Now that the boys have had some experlence ln eleven man football and al
so because they w1ll lose only two of the regulars we expect to have a much 1m
proved team next year
Our basketball team d1dn t lead off too well but won two tough ball games early
ln the season The team slumped for a whlle but as the season progressed they IITI
proved greatly
At the tmme of th1s wr1t1ng the prospects for the track season are very good
The boys are expected to do a good Job 1n the track meets aga1nst the oppos1t1on
Cons1der1ng the fact that durmg the football season we were hampered by sev
eral 1nJur1e5 AlWood athlet1cs had an above average year 1n all sports act1v1t1es
A trxbute IS due Coach Turner who stood by us Even though he became per
turbed at t1mes he was always try1ng to show us ways to 1mprove Our play
The prospects for next years teams are very good and the student body should
all support the boys by gomg to the games
