CITIZENS' PLAN FOR YCUTH'S FUTURE No dictator decrees what will be taught in our school, what textbooks will be used, or who the instructors will be. On the contrary, a group of representative citizens, who are elected by the voters for their interest in public education and willingness to serve their community, for- mulate the policies and organization of our pub- lic school system. - We are very proud of our progressive and harmonious Board of Education. The five school directors treasure the freedom of assembling the first Monday evening of every month to discuss school problems and transact business. They have been especially foresighted in raising teachers' salaries in proportion to the rising cost of living during these war days. In this way they have shown their sincere interest in the pre- servation of a good school system during difficult times. It is also their hope to augment the voca- tional training in Ligonier High School in order to satisfy the changing needs of education now and in the post-war period. In the future there will be greater opportunity for both girls and boys to learn by using their hands along with their minds. Students not only respect these members of the Board of Education but also consider them friends who are vitally interested in school activi- ties. We always saw President Dr. J. W. Upde- graff at our basketball games. Two of the sen- iors, Sue Kuntz and Bob Noel, have fathers on the Board who are, respectively, Secretary Mr. V. E. Kuntz and Treasurer Mr. C. A. Noel. Vice President Dr. J. T. Newlin was never too busy to give us some advice about photography for the Mountaineer. Then, too, we extend to Mr. Paul Siard, who was elected to the Board in November, a very cordial welcome. To the retiring school director, Mr. Everett Noel, who was not a candidate for re-election because he was running for County Commissioner and was elected to that office, we want to express our gratitude for his term of service and congratulate him on his new honor. We know he will continue his interest in L. H. S., especially since he has a son Jim in the Junior Class. Therefore, the faculty and students of Lig- onier High School are very fortunate in having such a capable Board of Education in charge of an institution which is one of the Bulwarks of Freedom. The Mountaineer - 8 I left to right: Assistant Principal Donald M. McKelvey and Supervis- ing Principal C. C. Wylie. Down through all the ages of recorded time there have been wars where people'have fought against aggressors to set themselves free. Now, once again, the whole world is plunged into an appalling chaos in order that every people, no matter of what nation, race, or creed, may enioy certain rights and privileges. We have set as our ideal the statement of the right of every per- son to the Four Freedoms . . . Freedom of Wor- ship, Freedom of Speech, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear. Every activity in which people participate is now directed toward the obtaining of this goal, and education is certainly playing an important role towards this achieve- ment. To have proper education we must surely have good leaders. Ligonier High School is for- tunate in this respect, for our administrators are men who devote their talents and energies to the cause of Freedom. Our supervising principal, Mr. C. C. Wylie, with his assistant, Mr. Donald M. McKelvey, have directed us' wisely during our school years, and have instilled in us the nobler ideals that lead to useful and happy lives. Mr. Wylie has been supervising principal of the Ligonier Public Schools for ten years, and throughout these years he has shown justice and kindness to everyone. His concern for the wel- fare of the students and his willingness to give helpful, sound advice have won him many friends and the respect of the student body. He was instrumental this year in securing for our students the opportunity of hearing the four speakers of the Institute of International Rela- tions, sponsored by our local Rotary Club. Mr. Wylie is intensely interested in being The Mountaineer - 9 well-informed on modern trends in education It was for this reason that he attended the an nual Conference of the National Association of School Administrators in New York City, Feb ruary 22-24. At this conference whose theme was The People's Schools in War and Peace Mr. Wylie gained valuable information that he is trying to put into practice here Mr. McKelvey again served as assistant principal this year, and, due to the shortage of teachers, assumed a number of new responsi bilities. Besides his regular classes of Sopho more and Senior English, he taught two classes of Chemistry during the second semester. In all these classes he is quite well-liked because he leaves off the teacher-student relationship and becomes one of us, ioking and laughing right along with his pupils. ln addition he approves or reiects our absentee excuses in the Conference Room. He, also, photographed the Board of Education for the Mountaineer Staff. As an ama- teur photographer, he has an interesting col- lection of pictures among which he especially delights in his little daughter's picture which is on exhibition in the Conference Room. These leaders have had a difficult time in supervising school activities this year, but they are to be commended for the expert manner in which they have met and surmounted these handicaps. Their cheerfulness and friendliness, combined with their eagerness to help when needed, have contributed much to our happy experiences during the school year. Certainly these two men are noble leaders in Freedom's Cause.

In addition, Mr. Wear teaches freshmen the fundamentals of Civics and instructs the boys' Physical Education classes. Now Mr. Joe Citizen, we'll go upstairs and meet some other faculty members, urged Marge. First is the Music Room where Mr. CHARLES LAUGHLIN reigns. He is the talented maestro of our Band, Orchestra, and Girls' Chorus. He also personally instructs students in individual music lessons. Through his efforts in assembly we have some really good group sing- ing. Next door is the Biology Lab, Room 7. Miss BETTY EVANS is the popular young teacher who is very well versed in her chosen field of Biology. Besides her four classes of Biology she teaches a class of Chemistry. She is greatly interested in her students' welfare. The next room is that of Mrs. RUDDELL URCH, a sister of the first one we met. She has quite a varied schedule consisting of a Latin l class, an English IV class and a class each of Algebra I and Algebra ll. She assumed her teaching responsibilities after Mrs. Shears' departure during the first semester. In Room 9 we find the optimistic Miss CLAIRE GROSS whose duties are imparting the facts of the World and American History to the sophomores and iuniors. Colorful and instructive posters are always vis- ible on the walls, and she encourages class dis- cussions on current topics. Under her capable supervision, our May Day Festival is a beautiful pageant. After we climb these steps we shall see Room T0 and Mr. CHARLES MATHEWS, who con- ducts two classes in Spanish I, one in Spanish II, and two in Problems of Democracy. In all of these classes, he brings out good relations with our neighbors and stimulates our thinking con- cerning the post-war world of freedom for all. In addition to teaching duties, he is financial adviser of the Mountaineer. The laughter you iust heard came from Room ll where Miss ALICE KEFFER has her soph- omores in a gay mood with one of her witty re- marks. She expounds the mysteries of nature in her General Science classes and conditions the girls to whom she teaches fair play in the Phy- sical Education classes. She has won high es- teem from teachers and students alike. Con- trary to superstition, Room I3 is lucky for it has Miss MARIE MARTIN as homeroom counsellor. She is the sincere, friendly, and well-informed teacher of Freshman and Junior English. She in- troduces us to the characters of Literature and we feel they are real acquaintances. But the highest praise goes to her for her untiring efforts as faculty adviser for the yearbook. If we chanced to visit Room T4 the third period, we would find Miss REBA NEWTON, who teaches a Freshman English class that period. Her head- quarters is the grade school where she is the Supervisor of Grade School Music and the skilled director of their Glee Club. Well, Mr. Joe Citizen, that completes the tour, said Marge. It was most interesting, added Mr. Joe Citizen. l'm sure George Wash- ington and all of the historic leaders of this civili- zation would be proud of the efforts of those who have upmost in their minds the words, 'Let us raise up a standard to which the wise and honest can repair.' 72a erm Cy 1944 JUNE BAIR ever Smlllhg Little Bar loves to dance wants to be a tap danclng teacher delrghts rn 'azz records photographed for the Mountaineer staff wears a parr of sllver wrngs hub bubs with sev eral blondes WILLIAM BARKLEY carefree handsome Bull engoys takrng lrfe easy Often seen drrvrng a Buick slow at catchrng on to lokes spends hrs spare trme ploylng baseball In the cemetery unaware of being the Idol of several underclassmen MARY BENDER studrous Mary was Mr McKelveys secretary checked absentee sllps rn the Conference Room was a relrable Iubrarran likes Ice skating handled the ball expertly for the senrors rn rntra mural basketball games ALICE BERKEY tall slender Nrtro takes teasing with a grrn as an answer for every questron enloys good movres Ice skatrng and swam mrng wears perky little hair bows admires her sallor brother EDNA BLACKBURN small vrvacuous Edne entered LH S her sophomore year from Ramsey Hugh competent secretary to Mass Drckrnson excellent student but clarms she had to struggle through sensor math represented sensors rn framrng the constrtutron for Student Councrl MARTHA CAMPBELL modest and very conservatrve constant com panron of Georgranna Gurse proves that srlence rs golden takes Q -- H - , H ,, . ,, . . . . . . , - ,, H 1 - H .

Ligonier Ligonier Ligonier Ligonier Ligonier Ligonier Ligonier Ligonier Ligonier FOOTBALL This season the Ligonier Mountaineer Grid- ders had much difficulty in getting their club run- ning smoothly. There was the loss of Coach Carl Waugaman with 10 lettermen from last year's team. Then it seemed impossible to secure a coach until Charles Donato, former Ligonier High School and St. Vincent College footballer, took over the coaching job. Charlie worked furi- ously getting his small group of boys into shape while the search for a coach proceeded. Finally Coach Bob Wear, former Penn State and pro- gridder, arrived just two days before the open- ing game. Therefore, Coach Wear suggested that Charlie should have the privilege of coaching the Mounties in their first encounter. So when September ll arrived, we iour- neyed to Claridge to engage Penn Township. This game, the first for several of our players, was a hard-fought battle with both teams play- ing real football. At half time the score was 0-0 but Penn Twp. came out in the third quarter and scored a touchdown which proved to be the de- ciding factor of the game. The final score was Penn Twp.-6, Ligonier-0. Two weeks later at Kiski Prep's field on Sat- urday night, the Mounties encountered Bell Twp.

Came December and the minds of the oth Ietes from L H S turned to the sport of the hard wood. Working continuously and with great patience, Mr. Wear, our new coach, assembled a fair team. Thus the Mounties were ready to carry the colors of Ligonier into competition. The Mounties opened their basketball sea- son at home with Youngwood as a capable op- ponent. The Mountaineers, despite their inex- perience, made a tough game of it and at the half, the score was tied 7-7. The third quarter was played on even terms but, by virtue of a last quarter rally, the Maroon and White clad boys come out the victors by a 27-24 score. In our second game we went out of our class to play Latrobe, o Class AA school. This game was also played on the home hardwood. In this game we were outclossed and came out on the short end of a 45-27 score. L The Mountaineer - 35 ,ag 4' Mgr Shotzbarger, Ass't. Weller, Heintzelman, Brereton, Head Cheerleader Meagher, Ass't.

Alexander oc r , g Mounties Compete In League And County Contests The following Friday we traveled to La- trobe to play our first game of the season on a foreign court. The Mounties with three regulars in the sick bed were no match for the Wildcats of Latrobe and lost by the one-sided score of 38-13. Next the Mounties encountered the St. Vincent Prep cagers. Again the Ligonier Five's defense wouldn't click and they went down in defeat 32-12. One week before Section XIII league compe- tition was to start, the Mounties took a long trip to Huntingdon which proved worthwhile. When the final whistle sounded, the Mounties had won 37-29. This roused the spirit of the players at the right time. In their first league encounter the Wearmen engaged the Hurst Scarlet Hurricanes in one of the most exciting games of the season. The score changed hands eight times in the first three quarters. But in the final quarter there was a dis- pute in the timing which proved to be of no bene- fit for the Mounties, for they were finally nosed out by a 40-39 score. Ligonier won their first W.P.I.A.L. game at the expense of Derry Twp. Here the boys showed plenty of spirit and a fine brand of ball. Thus they came home with a 33-15 victory. Casey returned to the Wearmen line-up for the Blairsville game but still their losing streak con- tinued. In the following game with Mt. Pleasant even though the Mounties' shots were hitting the hoop with fair accuracy, they couldn't match the fast moving Bobcats. The Mountaineers closed the first half of the season with an easy verdict over East Huntingdon 61-13. Then the boys were given a rest of one week, before they were to begin the second half of league competition. The Wearmen opened this half of the league by traveling to Hurst. There they showed rare form and came home the victors by a virtue ofa 33-24 score. Previous to this game the Mounties had completely outclassed the Alumni team. Following the Hurst game, the Mountaineers de- feated Derry Township 34-21. Then they suf- fered a second defeat at the hands of the Orange and Black clad boys from Blairsville, the final score being 28-24. The Saturday night after the defeat at Blairsville we met St. Vincent Prep at home. Dur- ing the first half of this game it looked as if we were going to be swamped. The score at half time stood 1-9-10 in favor of the Bearkittens. However, a determined Ligonier squad took the floor to start the second half. As a result the Prepsters' scoring was held low, while we slowly but surely climbed nearer to them. Finally with but three minutes of the game to be played, the score was tied 26-26. But the Bearkittens broke loose for a fielder and a foul and then froze the ball, consequently, we were again defeated 29-26. The following Tuesday we met Derry Boro at home. In the first half we played a stalling game and at the half led 9-8. But our glory was short-lived as the Ramblers started to roll in the second half and came out on top by a 24-13 margin. Then followed a game with Mt. Pleas- ant which we again lost in the second half by a 23-21 score, after leading 13-7 at the half. We closed our season by playing host to East Hun- tingdon. In this game all the Varsity as well as the Jr. Varsity saw action. The final score read Ligonier 42, East Huntingdon 8. After resting for a week the team traveled to Greensburg for the annual County Tourna- ment. There they met Penn Twp., who had two previous victories over the Mounties, but this time the boys from Ligonier showed their spirit and came out on top 22-20. Saturday night we met West Newton and went down in defeat by a 27-17 score. The next Friday, due to West New- ton's withdrawal from the tournament in favor of the W.P.I.A.L. Tournament, we were invited to meet Sewickley Twp. In this game we started off like a house-afire and had 17 to 12 lead at halftime. However, in the third quarter the boys from Sewickley Twp. stepped into the lead and held it to emerge on the long end of a 27-24 score. When one considers the inexperience of the players and the difficult iob of our Coach as ci new man, our record can be accounted for. Shortly after the close of the season, the Ligonier Cagers lost their captain, Ernie Scherban, who has traded his blue and white togs of L.H.S. for the khaki of Uncle Sam's Flying Cadets.

The next game for the Jayvees ended in a tragic 18-14 defeat at the hands of the Junior Latrobe cagers previously beaten by the Jayvees. In their following en- counter with Hurst they also were beaten 37-'l7. In the next two games the Junior Mounties topped the Southwest Greensburg Junior High School Varsity and the Agriculture team by scores of 24-18 and 22-7 respectively. Then followed two defeats at the hands of Blairsville and Southwest Greensburg with scores of 24-11 and 34-20 respectively. The next two games were played with our old rival Derry Borough. In the first game the Derry cagers were handed the short end of a lop-sided game with a score of 25-14. The following game with Derry was a real thriller with the fighting Mounties coming back in the second half to turn an almost certain de- feat into a victory little short of glorious for the Jayvees of Ligonier. The rest of the season was spent playing independent and pick-up teams from in and around the school. The scoring throughout the entire year was rather evenly distributed with Captain Wilt leading and closely followed by Wolford Guild and Malkoch. This year three Jayvees Malkoch Guild and Bolha were promoted to the varsity about mid-season with three others Cochrane Wilt and Wolford being readied for positions onthe Varsity squad. Hindered as they were by gas rationing poor transportation facilities and an incomplete schedule the Jayvees played a large portion of those games scheduled with not too many defeats thus completing a highly successful season with one of Ligonier s best Junior Varsity teams yet put on our floor.

Every spectator is thrilled by the striking blue and white uniforms and the per- fect formation combined with the stirring music from the shiny instruments. How much less memorable is a football game or other event in the absence of the customary Alma Mater and Star Spangled Banner ? With a large percentage of the band's out-of-town en- gagements curtailed by a lack of transportation due to the tire and gasoline shortage, its activities have been confined to the local community. The fact that no new instruments and few repair parts were available added to the difficulty under which the organization functioned. For this reason few new mem- bers have been added and, consequently, the enrollment is smaller than it has been for several years. However, in spite of all these handicaps, the band under the capable and patient leadership of its director, Mr. Charles Laughlin, has had a very busy year and has done its best to uphold the standard of John Philip Sousa. The band, as is customary, played at all the pep meetings and added their further support to the team by being present ata number of the games. At one of these the eight mafor- ettes proudly sallied forth in smart new uniforms. Among the community affairs in which the band participated were a bond rally, a Republican Rally, the annual Hallowe'en Par- ade, and the Farmers' Institute in the Ligonier Theater. The band's calendar of engagements was brought to a close in a regal fashion when, during Music Week in May, a concert consisting of many splendid selections was presented.

Ligonier's orchestra has always been noted as an organization that produces fine music. The orchestra has two main functions: it provides valu- able experience for the members, and it contributes to the cultural life of the school and the community. The orchestra, due to last year's graduation having taken a heavy toll on its membership, has been reduced to a small but nevertheless efficient organization. The old, old saying, Good things came in small packages , seems to apply very well in this case. However, the decreased size of the group has served only to increase the determination of each member to do his best, and the greater responsibility placed an each individual has been readily accepted. Not the least among the factors responsible for the success of the orchestra was the patient and painstaking guidance of the director, Mr. Charles Laughlin. This year the orchestra has specialized in the playing ofa number of the best known classics including The Merry Widow Waltz , The Blue Danube , and Song of India . The highlight of the year's activities was probably playing for the Institute of Public Understanding, which consisted of a series of lectures sponsored by the Rotary Club. A concert in early May provided a fitting finale to a pleasant and inter- esting year from which every member drew a sense of accom- plishment. Orchestra 'k Qaeecfam UZ 7he Pam PUBLICATION STAFF RECORDS HISTORY As a Freshman hurried past Room 13 he glanced in, stopped abruptly, and stared. Growing interested, he ven- tured inside the door, tapped Judy Nicely on the shoulder, and asked, How's come everyone is in little huddles in this class? After her famous giggle Judy answered, Oh, this isn't a regu- lar class, this is the headquarters of the Mountaineer Staff. I see, said the Freshie, his eyes absorbing the busy picture before him. True, Room I3 was alive with school spirit every third period. Members of the staff met there, discussed problems, received assignments, revised first drafts, cropped and mounted pictures, and executed numerous other duties. Miss Martin, the supervisor of the editorial department, worked whole-heartedly, guiding the journalists in compiling the year- book. Mr. Mathews also deserves applause for his supervision of the business managers. Our friend, the Freshman, didn't realize his important contribution to the Mountaineer. When he sold those maga- zine subscriptions for his class last winter, he was doing his bit to finance the publication. Yes, all of the money obtained from the Freshmen's Magazine Campaign was donated to benefit our yearbook. April brought about a Staff Party, popular with all the members. With all the work finished, fun was the theme of the evening. No one could decide whether Chuck Moonly or Harry Wilt was the wittier. This gay event proved that the staff's motto was certainly not AII work and no play . The day the year book is distributed to L.H.S.'s students is always a memorable one to staff members and advisers. They smile to themselves as they listen to the incessant chatter aroused by the new Mountaineer. ROSTER Back Row: Craig, Earnest, Hood, Potts, Wolford, Larimer, Bair.

Recognized as a great benefactor to our knowledge, the library is the room where we select worthwhile books which stimulate our reading habits, locate material about authors for book reports, and look up words and references which prepare us better for our classroom studies. The library is the center of various activities such as the sale of War Stamps and Bonds every Thursday afternoon, play practice which occurs any time when a play is in the making, and everyone's meet- ing place. The librarians under the capable supervision of Mrs. Margaret Urch, the faculty adviser, must be alert and on the job at all times. Their duties include signing out books, making overdue slips, replacing duplicate cards, mending books, cleaning up the library each evening, aiding those who can't find it , and scores of other tasks. Those librarians de- serving honorable mention are the seniors, Mary Bender, Evelyn Clawson, and Nancy Hudock for their service of over three years. One librarian may be considered a novelty- Bob Dutcher. Among some very popular books added recently are: The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglasg This Is Your War by Ernie Pyle, With Gene Chennault by Robert B. Hotz, and The For- est and the Fort by Hervey Allen. The latter story weaves in some facts of our own Fort Ligonier. Keeping in mind the con- nections of the stories with current happenings or events of special interest, Mrs. Urch selects our books. The achievements of the library may be regarded as in- structive since we learn of the situations of the present in com- parison with those of yesteryear, and cooperation in restoring peace with the Four Freedoms for every individual on this earth. The Mountaineer - 45 'k WE BUY WAR BONDS AND STAMPS In order to preserve our four Freedoms, our men are sac- rificing much-even to the extent of giving their own lives. Therfore, to back them, we, as future citizens, have had a cam- paign in selling Defense Bonds and Stamps. Every Wednesday morning at 11:00 o'clock the stamp salesmen took their stamps to the grade school where they sold them till 11:30 o'clock. In the high school the period from 1:00 to 1:30 every Thursday was set aside for the sale of stamps and bonds. Stand by for action! Here come Repre- sentatives McKelvey and Lohr! Helen, check the paper care- fully, Rosan, give the stamps, and Mary Lou, count the money -we must NOT make a mistake. This year we began our defense sales the first week of school. Our aim in this campaign has been to enroll each individual as a contributor. In some homerooms this worked very nicely, but, of course, there were some slackers. Room 10, having 1003: every week, headed the list, although Room 5 rode along with the largest amount of money-52336.15 Honorable mention can be given to Rooms 2 and 13 for aver- aging 99M and 962, respectively. As a whole, the school percentage has reached the average of 86'X-1. The grade and high school students together have invested 512,586.95 in stamps and bonds from September 1 to March 1. During the Third and Fourth War Loans, Mr. Wylie sent the best salesmen from high school to canvass the community for War Bonds in order to put these drives over the top in Ligonier. These statistics prove that we have been aiding and abetting the men on the firing line, so that they may preserve our American way of Life.

These helpers made up the eFFicient Hall Patrol whose duties are numerous but pleasant. Although a few helped only once or twice a week, many devoted most of their study halls to sitting outside the oltice in the hall stooge's special seat studying, day-dreaming, or merely looking out the win- dow until Miss Marker summoned them to duty. Especially welcomed when they bring announcements of movies, early dismissal, or holiday vacations, they daily slipped unobserv- edly in and out of rooms with absentee slips, mail for the teachers, requests from the. office, or telephone calls for students. As an added attraction, a stooge was sometimes sent up-town on a special errand and could enjoy the delightful feeling that comes from being out of school while his class- mates were plugging away at their studies. It was always nice to be sitting in the hall when Mr. Wylie received one of his distinguished visitors who would lift his hat and smile, Hello . On the days Miss Marker had to watch a study hall or substitute for some teacher, the girls were left in charge of answering the telephone or taking any message that might be brought in. Several times during school our secretary was forced to ask the boys who were attracted by Mariorie Neiderhiser's colored shoe strings to move on as they were a hindrance in the line of duty. Everyone enjoys working for Miss Marker so much that there was always a substitute ready to take over if one of the regulars was ill or unable to be present. These substitutes may be the future regular stooges. The Mountaineer -- 47 7k Spur! Uf Mme ..... No, I can't stop to talk now, I'm on my way to chorus practice, -these are the words most likely to be heard from any chorus member running down the hall at 12:30 every day except Thursday. The Girls' Chorus under the direction of Mr. Laughlin has completed its second successful year as an extra-curricular activity. We started soon after the beginning of school to have our voices tested and then our positions were assigned. It wasn't long until our voices were blending harmoniously on our first song, To a Wild Rose . Following that came a gay Czechoslovakian dance song which we all enjoyed learn- ing. Perhaps the most intricate of our numbers was The Two Clocks , where many of us became lost amid the ticks and tocks. Another of our pieces was a very beautiful Russian song, called Farewell to Minka . A M Our first engagement was singing in the Christmas assem- bly program. Even with Mr. Laughlin's assurance that we would do splendidly, we were a little excited. During the sec- ond semester the chorus started to prepare for its most im- portant appearance, singing at the Spring Musical Concert. We want to express our gratitude to our faithful accom- panists, Geraldine Wingrove and Ina Lee Wolford, for keeping us on tune throughout all the practices. Charles Fish is to be commended for his fidelity as manager and attendance checker. Sometimes at practice we all had to laugh when Mr. Laughlin's music stand left him leaning on air. At the end of the year, the girls who had been faithful for two years were awarded certificates of merit. ROSTER Back Row: Egner, Smith, Ambrose M. Campbell, B. Jenkins, Huse- men, Wylie, Cochrane.

It is composed of twenty-five members, who, under the supervision of Mr. Claypoole, have been working to promote the ideas of home improvement. The members of this organization this year elected Frank Zeunges as Pres., Sam Hutchison as Vice-Pres., Lynn Graham as Sec.-Treas., and then elected Lawrence Ament to the hon- orary position of Watchdog . Under these leaders the boys participated in many extra-curricular activities. At one of their monthly meetings they decided to sponsor a basketball team. Keeping pace with the war, the boys learned and prac- ticed the art of repairing farm implements, this can be cited as an illustrative example of the fine work done by these boys in regard to the war effort. The boys furthered their educa- tion in home improvement by their numerous field trips. On these trips they did such things as testing soil, pruning vines and trees, and, of course, having exciting times. The laurels of success this year go to Leonard Olson, because in a state- wide home-improvement contest he placed fourth. In an assembly program Mr. Wylie lauded Leonard and awarded him his medal. Leonard, a senior, is representative of the fine type of boys in our F. F. A. organization. The F. F. A. motto, Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earn- ing to live, Living to serve , embodies the true spirit of the group. To encourage co-operation among the boys in voca- tional agriculture in order that they might share mutual en- thusiasm and pleasure in their work and recreation is their purpose. lt is indeed a truly worthwhile and beneficial organ- ization.
