FFA visits Kansas; Industrial Arts expands The times they are a ' changing, according to Bob Dylan, and the Fu- ture Farmers were going along with the times. New advances were rapid- ly occurring in agriculture and FFA sponsor Wayne Coy made sure the members learned of them. In addi- tion, the boys were taught how to participate in public meetings and how to sell cooperatively, both of which are essential in the world of today ' s progressive farmer. Did you ever pass through the In- dustrial Arts wing and marvel at all the complicated machinery? To the boys in the Industrial Arts Club, run- ning such machinery was their daily fare. These boys listened eagerly to their sponsors and studied on their own, because, for them, their avoca- tion would soon become their vocation. A closer examination of the table around which the FFA members are standing reveals some of the ideals held sacred by them. Holding the lever at a certain angle adjusts the engine to a certain speed. Rex Elliot finds this a difficult and tedious job. Preparing themselves for tomorrow, the Fu- ture Farmers of America believe strongly in their club. Several club members ore gathered around the various symbols of their club and with their hands over their hearts, are solemnly reciting the FFA Pledge. 77

76 Meetings give clubs new ideas . . . These things will I do now that I may be worthy of the high of- fice of teacher. The official pledge of the Future Teachers of America Club tells of the excellence required of teachers. Many FTA members learned this this year through direct experience and from hearing the ex- periences of others. Guest speakers included a student teacher in music, a language teacher from Uruaguay, and a representative from the Laws Foundation which helped educate underprivileged children. Members were also entertained and enlight- ened through their attendance at FTA conferences around the state. Raising money to send to the Na- tional Future Homemakers of America Organization was one of the main projects of the CHS chapter of FHA. The money was used to help set up new national headquarters in the American Home Economics Associa- tion Building in Washington, D.C. One FHA member, Lynna Perry, dis- tinguished our chapter by being cho- sen district recreational leader and attended the Youth Power Conference. Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. However this batter contains no eye of newt and toe of frog and FHA member Shelly Williams is no modern Hecate. Shelly ' s work is much easier than He- cate ' s thanks to modern mixers. At an FTA meeting, Mrs. Marta Orr, a na- tive of Uruguay, points out the many differ- ences of education in South and North Ameri- Cookies can be both delicious and profitable as Sheila Fish realizes. She is cooling cookies to be sold for the Christmas Dance.

Students study ancient Rome, modern Italy Latin, considered by so many to be a dead language, was alive and well at CHS as the Junior Classical League proved. Involved in plans for a Roman Banquet in the grand style of the Golden Age, the members caught for a brief moment a glimpse of a glori- ous era now past. This new club spon- sored by Miss Evelyn Seward was unique at CHS in that each of its seven members was on officer. Though CHS was not blessed with foreign exchange student this year, the International Relations Club still had the chance to evaluate the opinions of exchange students from other schools through interviews. Through these interviews, a clearer picture of Americans as they appear to the world was created. From these interviews and from films and dis- cussions, information on life in other countries was gathered. Various as- pects of alien cultures such as food, clothing, religion, and education were of great interest to these students. A candy house that would tempt even Hansel and Gretel was the International Relations club ' s winning entry at the Christmas Dance. Roughing If for a picnic at Brown County, Internotionol Relations club members and for- eign students take to the out-of-doors for some fresh air. Sian Fornsley, Debbie Schaefer, Pam Brannum, Emilce Pisorello, and Abed Bid Onn form a circle of conversation. Initiation is a part of club life that every member remembers. In the new Junior Classical League, all members are initiates, so the club ' s only girl, Sheila Phillips, pins member Ed Hol- lett as Greg Douglas, Brent Smith, Mike Bobb, and Steve Hackman look on. 78 k H v- jHS ' 9? , ' . ij '
