After the initiation they all settled down to business. Barbara Martin has given some speeches for the Women's Council at the Community Church. Natividad Sapien is on the War Bond Committee, and Hazel Ramos was a success in the fashion show. Others that were in the fashion show and did well, too, were: Ioan Jordan, Frankie Bressette, Margie Rhodes, Billie Jo' Robin- son, and a few others. The boys were a success on the side of sports. Richard Estrada cleared 10 feet in the pole xrault. As a freshman he d1d wonderfully. Jimmy Heggarty did the 100-yard dash, and took first place for the C team in the Paso Robles track meet. VVe also found out that Everardo Baro was good as a football player. In the manner of entertainment we have had quite a number of things to do. The most im- portant of all, and one we will never forget, was the freshman initiation. We have given some dances of our own, too. The nice hot May days were welcomed with a swimming partyg it was then when we were all surprised to find out that Pat McAuliffe could float.

Jalal In compliance with the war effort the Atascadero Chapter of the Future Farmers of America this year, as in many former years, is maintaining a large-scale farming program which consists of over seven hundred Leghorn laying hens along with ap- proximately 175 acres of land planted to oats and barley for hay and grain. These crops are planted on the many lots and fields which formerly were overrun with weeds and grass causing a great fire hazard, as well as being an eyesore to the community. All work is done by the chapter members with the two chapter-owned tractors and equipment. Along with proper attachments, the John Deere wheel tractor is used for cultivating and light work. The Caterpillar is used in the larger fields and in instances where bigger, more powerful machinery is necessary. Under the able leadership of Mr. E. W. Gills, the Future Farmers have done and will continue to do a great deal in reducing the food shortage in the immediate vicinity. Cooperating with the several farmers' organizations in the community, the FFA has made several improvements in the farming practices of the community. Among the opportunities of the agricultural education program of the county and state are the Sears, Roebuck livestock improvement program, which is that Sears, Roe- buck and Company gives a worthy member a high-bred heifer with the agreement from that member that he will give in the future as soon as possible, or within three years, a heifer of equal value and breeding, to be given to some other worthy member. Up to date, Sears, Roebuck has given the Atascadero Chapter six beef calf heifers and this following year will give one pure-bred dairy heifer on the same basis as the beef heifers were given. These heifers are valued at one hundred and fifty dollars each and this program is to continue for three years. The Chapter has also formed a Cooperative Loan Association from which a mem- ber can borrow sums of money for the purpose of establishing a project. The Chapter also rents the equipment to the members to work their ground, harvest their crops and to use on other occasions where needed. 1.-Lupe Xlillqy President, 5.-Glenn Trussell, Treasurer. 2.-Marion Hambly, Vice-President. 6.-Classroom Scene. 3.-E.
