Chapter took part in many out of school activities. In July the F. F. A. officers attended the Leadership Training Camp at Stanly Lake near Hart, Michigan. Many members exhibited grain and livestock at the lonia Fair, Eagle Fair and the State Fair in Detroit. The educational exhibit prepared by the Agriculture IV class won an “A” rating at the State Fair. In October we entered the soil judging contest for F. F. A. members in this area of the state. Bill Lanz placed first of all the contestants. The live- stock judging team of Barry Moyer, Bill M oyer, N. Gage, and J. Addington placed first among F. F. A. teams at the lonia Fat Stock Show. In November, ten of the F. F. A. members spent three days at the International Livestock Show and other points of interest in Chicago. At the District Contests, D. Leik placed second in the speech contest and the Demonstra- tion team of N. Gage and L. Murphy placed third. D. Leik and G. Krausz were selected to represent the chapter at the State F. F. A. Convention in the Spring. At this convention Bill Moyer, Nelson Gage, John Addington and Lawrence Krausz were awarded the State Farmer Degree.

A committee was named to plan the program for the year. Their fall and spring baked goods sale netted them a nice profit which is being used to buy equipment for the school. Our annual Mother and Daughter Tea in May was very well attended.

While there we got some new ideas for the paper. Three of the staff members, Alice Sumner, Joan Smith, and Betsey Stewart wrote articles for Young Editor’s Day. These articles appeared in the Lansing State Journal. The Portlight was published every two weeks and continued to be set up in the three column style. Mrs. Piercefield was the sponsor again this year and we would like to thank her for guiding us so ably.
