GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION A good old-fashioned hayrack party was held by the Girls' Athletic Associ- ation during the year. Miss Kathryn Young acted as chaperone. Vivian Chand- ler drove the hayrack as president of G. A. A. and Lillian Lebsock assisted her as vice-president. Marjorie Frazier attended to finances and Rachel Brittell held the position of secretary. Fifty-five girls attended this party and were qualified for membership in this branch of the national G. A. A. by their par- ticipation in things of an athletic nature. During the year various games were played, including tournaments in soccer, tennis, volleyball, basketball, and baseball. Sport heads were elected to super- vise each tournament. The guests of honor were the recently organized Hillrose G. A. A. A combined social and athletic ‘‘Play Night was held in their honor. About Christmas time the hayrack stopped for the Christmas party, which is held each year for the pleasure and enjoyment of the Knearl School children. When the hayrack party was almost over, four different awards were pre- sented to those who had earned them through a point system. The first award, a ring, was presented to those who had earned 300 points during the school year. The second award, the Colorado State League Emblem, was presented for 450 points. A sweater was given to those contestants who had scored 600 points. A few wefe honored with the highest award, the Colorado State League Pin which required 750 points. Anna Mae Petteys was the first junior ever to win this award. At the close of this party, the hayrack started homeward and stopped only long enough for a farewell to those senior girls who would not be able to attend the party in 1936.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Corn-husking time comes and goes each yea. and with it come the Future Farmers of America with their famous corn-husking bee. This organization is affiliated with the national F. F. A which has chapters in all forty-eight states and in Hawaii. The Brush corn-husking bee was held in the agriculture room of the high school and attendance was limited to boys that are either taking or have taken vocational agriculture. The boys elected their own leaders for the corn-husking race and appointed a committee consisting of Mr. Corfman. Mr. Neale, Mr. Johnson, two business men, and two farmers for judges and advisers. Commit- tees were appointed to arrange the meetings for the bees, and to take care of the programs and refreshments. The corn-huskers planned one regular night meeting every month and short business meetings once every week. Kenneth Funk and Morris Danielson, as presidents, directed the activities, with the help of Mr. Johnson, sponsor. One outstanding event during the course of the corn-husking bee was the box supper in conjunction with the Home Economics Club, the precedent for which was set some years ago. While husking the corn, the F. F. A. boys discuss different phases of agricul- ture. take part in social activities, sponsor contests, secure guest speakers, con- duct an annual Father-and-Son banquet, sponsor the Northeastern Colorado live-stock judging contests, and participate in group projects pertaining to agri- culture. Members attend the Western Stock Show in Denver, entertain former agriculture students, and enter teams in state contests.

In order to attend the social and become a member of the Girl Reserves each girl must accept as her purpose “To face life squarely and to find and give the best” and pledge that “I will do my best to honor God. my nation and my fellow men. More girls attended than ever before; membership was extended to fifty-eight. A varied program of much interest had been planned beforehand by the G.
