Gills, their sponsor, they have succeeded in enlarging their activities to capacity, so that maximum service to their country may be rendered. Boys have been using a large part of their school time for vital work rather than classroom work. ln one of the pictures above can be seen a boy at work on the F.F.A.,s John Deere tractor. This particular picture was taken at the strawberry patch, where the boys have been spending a great deal of time lately. Other pictures show boys working with a few of the many boxes of young plants which they bave been raising this year. This has really been a great help to the war effort, due to the shortage of laborers. These small plants are raised in boxes inside the Agriculture Building and then are transplanted in the fields or gardens. Actual farming isn't all that our F.F.A. boys are doing, however. They are also working in the school's shop, learning to give good care tothe hard-to-get farm implements, and also learning to repair them should they happen to break. Due to the shortage of implements, this is indeed a wonderful thing to know. Financially speaking, the F.F.A. is over the top. So well have they done this year, they have been authorized by the school board to purchase themselves a tractor, harvester, and bailer. These purchases will probably be delayed, due to the war, but they have been authorized.

-'V--re V -aw, Back Row: Yvonne Roh- erson, Gerry Cameron, Erma Jean Frame. Front Row: Dorothy Cup- pers, Nlarjoriv Hvml0i'R0n The first meeting of the G.A.A. was Thursday, October 7th, 1942, with Rita Villa acting as president. The officers for the first half were: Erma Jean Frame, presidentg Janice Mc- Donald, vice presidentg Chesterlyn Kilbern, secretary, and Yvonne Roberson, recorder. For the second semester the same council was re-elected except that the position of secretary was given to Betty Southwiclc. The council decided that the interclass games would be changed to period games: each period's winning team would play the next period until the champions were found. The first sport of the season that was played was basketball. The 6th period really came through by beating both 4th and Sth period teams all the way through. The last game? score was 12 to 6. To prove to everyone that they were truly champions, the 6th period challenged the Ladies' Town Team in two games and were really victorious with the scores read- ing 12 to 4 and I6 to 6. After the excitement of the basketball games the girls took up volleyball with just :Ls much vigor. The Sth period team showed their ability at playing volleyball by com- ing out on top behind their captain, Helen Jaster. The last sport to be taken up was baseball which had not been completed at the time of this writing. But the -lth period team has proved very good. so they're entitled to their pictures in this annual. All the girls are looking forward to a play-day which will be held in the near future under the direction of Miss Doser, G.A.A. instructor. There were many girls who were awarded letters and three won sweaters or pins. The girls having 800 points received large orange A's and the girls with 1,000 points had their choice of sweaters or pins. It-CSF I -ts Girls' League Meeting Gerry Camenon G.L.

So instead of discontinuing the game we organized intramural leagues. The boys liked it because more of them got to play and there were more games. The student body also enjoyed this season of football because at least once a week there was a game. October 8-Platz O, Jordan 0. October 22-Williamson 12, Lee 7. October 29-Platz 14, Lee 13.
