The past year has been a lively one for our president, Ed Carder, and the members of F.F.A. As soon as school let out last spring, a group of boys, Mr. Olmstead, and Mr. Johnson went on the club's annual camping trip. It was at Lena Lake in the Olympics. After a good hard hike lmile and a halfl, a grand old time was had by all. The boys weathered it pretty well considering that they had to eat their own cooking. We placed second with our booth at the Puyallup Western Washington Fair last fall. This brought us a blue ribbon and Sl75.00, a welcome addition to our funds. The iudging team brought us a first in the Ayrshires and a second in the Holsteins from the Portland Inter- national Livestock Show. The team members were Ed Carder, Loren Chinn, and John Timmons. The team which judged at Skagit County brought us a first in the Holsteins and second in Sweepstakes. The team members were Ed Carder, Dave Lund, and Loren Chinn. The annual turkey raffle this year was a big success. Approximately T400 tickets were sold and I4 turkeys were given away. Richard Delin was high again this year with 321 tickets sold. Bob Suss was second with 250. Last year our chapter had two state farmers: Norman Heilig and Dave Lund. ln August the chapter got a new Ferguson 30 tractor and a six-toot tandem disc. Our Parent and Son Banquet was held during National Future Farmer Week in the gymnasium. This year the chapter started a hog rotation project. Three gilts were awarded to Dave Bornander, Richard Delin, and Ellsworth Finlayson.

The Fife Chapter of the F.H.A. got off to a good start as they welcomed Mrs. Ellen Scheyer as their new advisor this year. We had the honor of having a state officer elected from our chapter: Elsie Yotsuuye, state treasurer. Our year's first activity was a get-together banquet, to which everyone was invited. Later, the girls interested in F.H.A. and having enough points for membership were initiated at a formal initiation. Following this, the new members had an excellent opportunity to learn more about F.H.A. at the regional meet- ing held at Battleground, Washington. At this meeting they learned ways to keep the meetings interesting and ideas for money-making. Among our money-making activities was a caramel apple sale. Here we mixed business with pleasure by having a party on the order of a taffy-pull. We substituted caramel apples for the taffy and with everyone's ioining in making the apples we enioyed ourselves immensely while we worked. On our social agenda was the Harvest Ball which was a big success with Gordon Anderson and Elsie Yotsuuye as the harvest king and queen, respectively. Another was the F.H.A.-F.F.A. party. Our last event for this year was the Senior Tea, at which the next year's officers were announced. Officers for this year were: president, Margery Holmquist, vice president, Elsie Yotsuuye, secretary, Janice Kotchkoe, treasurer, Beverly Torgerson, social chairman, Patricia Patton, membership chairman, Barbara Marzano, historian, Ruth Ambuehl, reporter, Jeanne Petorak, points chairman, Phyllis Soltis, parliamentarian, Linda Chestnut.

Girls' Club The first meeting of the Fife High School Girls' Club was highlighted by a very interesting talk by one of our faculty members, Mrs. Vinson, who talked about her exciting trip to Alaska. She also brought along some very good pictures of the trip, which we all enjoyed seeing. The part of our motto which reads, to help those who are less fortunate than l, was put to good use at Thanksgiving time. Four families enioyed delicious 'dinners as a result of the Girls' Club work. Thanks also go to the grade school and to the Boys' Club, who contributed a good deal of food. ln one meeting the advantages of a military career were explained by three representativs of the Armed Forces. The Easter egg hunt for the members of the kindergarten proved interesting for both the kindergarten and the girls who assisted in coloring and hiding the eggs. The finale of the i952-53 year was the Mothers' and Daughters' Tea. Leslee Ward, as general chairman, helped to make this a very successful tea. The theme chosen was April in Paris. Story-book dolls were used as centerpieces on the tables, and the invitations were made in the shape of a story book doll. The little girl wore a bonnet with a big bow on it. The tea was started with the processional and installation of officers, after that there was varied entertainment bythe girls themselves. Some of the home economics girls, parading as Paris models, modeled some of their very nicely made clothes. To raise money for the varied activities mentioned, the Girls' Club sponsored the concessions at a football game. At Christmas time a bake sale was held at the Bon Marche in Tacoma, also some girls made Christmas centerpieces to sell. After a basketball game, a dance in the gym brought in more money. Each class decided to do something to increase the treasury. The iunior and the senior girls had a bake sale, and the sophomores decided to sell candy and popcorn at a basketball game. The officers for the year were as follows: president, Nancy Lutter, vice president, Joyce Pedersen, recording secretary, Inez lsaksen, corresponding secretary, Barbara Fox, treasurer, Marilyn Siska, historian, Marsha Gord- on, and Girls' Club council representative, Sandra Keightley. We want to thank our advisor, Miss Dunn, very much for all the advice and help she has given us.
