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.

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.

This year with careful planning it was possible to make the Annual Staff self supporting with a small amount of money left to put in the treasury towards future annuals. The Senior Class has worked in complete co-operation with the staff which was selected at the beginning of the fall term, to make the ‘‘5] Cardinal’’ a success and one that we are proud of. This book tells a story, the story of P. H. S. 1950-51. We hope that all who read it will enjoy this story as much as we have enjoyed putting it together for you. 1 Three Juniors were chosen to represent their class on the Annual staff that they might have a clearer idea of how to organize their yearbook next year. They were Joan Irrer, Carol Traynick, and Don Cassel.
