The second big event was the Green Hand initiation. Nine Freshman boys were initiated into this lirst degree. with alumni and others visitors present. The initiation was followed by a feed. Then came the Future Farmer, or second de- gree initiation, with about one hundred boys from nine neighboring high schools participat- ing in the ceremonies. .Xt the oliiicers' training school meeting at Willits, lien lieeehler was elected regional re- porter for the Redwood lfmpire. Two judging teams went to Davis. jim Morris. Glenn Yenni and Martin O'llrien judged dairy cattle, and George Knolle. llob Raffo and Robert Thornsberry were on the general livestock team. joseph Honey won the Wilson llatchery chick award. and lfddie Freeman won the l.ev- eroui hei fer calf award. The most outstanding project completed in farm shop was a power mower made by George llroeco and George Knolle. Finances were considerably aided by F. F. A. refreshment sales at all evening games and dances of the year. It is true, Mr. Oldest Grad, stated Mr. Mellor as his visitor finished reading the F. F. A. report. some of the Future Farmers don't do as well scholastically, but it does provide a chance for all to do the very best they can. and we turn out a lot of mighty fine fellows. So many of the things accomplished by Future Farmers' activities couldn't be carried on at all if the responsibility of doing them was not borne by the members. Yes. it's a fine organi- zation and there is a mighty sound philosophy behind it. Our F. F. .X. Chapter uses school busses for field trips.

Mr. Oldest Grad heard a strange. blood- curdling howl down the hall. He hurriedly said good-bye to M r. Mellor and ran down the hall to investigate. His fears were allayed when he opened the door of the radio room and saw the boys tuning in on short-wave broadcasts. He talked for a time with the president of the Radio Club, Hugh Grinstead: Vice President Richard Evensen, and Secretary Jim Klaucke. Hugh and Richard worked on the CW. code, eighty-meter transiuitter. They will soon be taking tests for their private licenses. The Radio Club boys disbanded shortly, and Mr. Oldest Grad, still talking to Hugh. went with him to the journalism room where Presi- dent Grinstead turned in some news of the Radio Club. The room was bustling with activity as The Dragon's Tale was being prepared for the mimeograph machine. The sob-sisters fgirl reporters to youl were thrusting their scoops at the typist. and another edition of the school's bi-weekly paper was being completed for its one hundred and fifty subscribers. The old gentleman was introduced to Bette Garrison. editor of The Dragon's Tale. Bette told him that the long-needed journalism Class iuade its debut last September. Thirteen interested students enrolled and were organized under Mrs. .lensen's supervision. lt was the task of the class to publish The Dragon's Tale. and edit the columns.
