SERVICE LUB Membership to Service Club is limited to Junior and Senior girls who have earned four points on the basis of citizenship, scholarship, merits and athletic ability. The name Service Club is an appropriate one for the aim of the members is to render service to the school and the com- munity. This Year 22 girls in all, 14 the first semester and 8 the second, received n sufficient number of points to become members. N In the early fall one could see a few Senior and Junior girls outlandishly attired with either too much makeup or not enough and articles of ri- Back row: Sue Barrett, Sharon Garlin, Ona Lee Power dicilous dress. This initiation lasted a week, after which the new members B1'ba a Nmon' Fmt 'Dwi Belle Oswald, Bonme Take t moto, Jessie Reyes, Ruth Gange. presen ed an assembly before the student body as part of their initiation. Olficrrs elected at the beginning of the year were Patty Huxtable, president: Nadine Spuhler, vice-presidentg Georgia Rogers, secretary: Delphia Pierce, treas- urer. Mrs. Gay is adviser. The Service Club girls this year were very active in all school activities. During football season they took over part of the concessions. By this means, they earned enough money to finance a formal Christmas Party for the school. This party was the highlight of the year for all who attended. Special features of this party were the marvelous decorations, the delicious refreshments prepared by the girls, the grand march and the class entertainment. The teachers and their children were honored guests, and the faculty participated in a very amusing pie-smearing contest. Favors were given at the door to each student. During the program, the Service Club girls performed an inspiring ceremony. Then Santa Claus ap- peared with a gift for everyone, and after refreshments were serv- ed they all left, feeling the party was a great success. At the beginning of the second semester the old members held a get-together in the Homemaking room to welcome properly the new members into the fold. Cokes and cookies were served. A special project of the girls this year was to order the regular Service Club pins. In the spring, at the close of school the Service Club again en- tertained in honor of the whole potluck picnic and swimming party at the Lindsay park and pool. A most rewarding and successful year, don't you think? Delphia Pierce, Patty Conley, Carol Bequette.

EL CLUB ESPANOL The officers elected were Ruth Gginge, President: Georgia Rogers. Vice ' President: Carol Bequette, Secretary: Doris Marks, Treasurerg Ona Lee Power, Planist. Mrs. Premo is adviser. At the beginning of the year, the club learned of the program for exchang- ing scrapbooks with Argentine students through the Red Cross. The club went for the project with so much enthusiasm that it overshadowed the other activities throughout the year. The plan is that the students in the American school prepare a scrapbook in English, depicting our way of life. and send it to a School in Argentine. The Argentine students then reciprocate with a scrapbook, in Spanish. depicting their Way of life. It is a wonderful way for the students in both countries to receive training in the practical usage of each other's language. with everyday sayings and colloquial expressions. In addition. the students get a valuable insight into life in another American country. The program fits right in with the Spanish Club's purpose of furthering better understanding of the customs and life in Latin America. A committee of Barbara Nelson, Delphia Pierce, and Ruth Gauge, under the chairmanship of Georgia Rogers, had charge of preparing the book. Instead of one book, however, the club members were so ambitious that they decided to pre- pare two books, one covering school life and activities. and the other covering civic life and ac- tivities. In the scliool-life book they told all about the organization of the school with student government: about each organization and what it does: about the school itself: the buildings, the location. the 53 ' campus: about sports: and about i all the phases of extra--curricular 'A school life: dances, parties and programs. Q In the civic-life book, they pre- fi sented a history of Strathmore and described the climate, the lo- cation. the farms and ranches, - and the nearby attractions. They f, also told about our holidays and celebrations. I The civic book contained a collec- tion of pressed wild flowers, which the group assembled and identi- fied, First and second year Span- ish students wrote articles for the books, the best of which were selected and rewritten by the committee. n -by Ruth Gauge Ruth Gange, President Mrs. Premo, Adviser.

The Future Farmers of America is the national organiza- tion of boys studying vocational agriculture. It was found- ed in November, 1928. The motto is: Learning to Dog Doing to Learng Earning to Liveg Living to Serve. There are, perhaps, no more appropriate colors for such an Up and Coming organization than those that have been chosen - National Blue and Corn Gold. The year started off with a bang when the Green-Hands were initiated. For the first half of the initiation, which was all day at school, the initiates wore cut-off levis, no shirts, gm, pair of womens hose, two different types of shoes. They were smeared with lipstick, rouee, and burnt cork. At the Tulare County Fair in September, the boys took fourth place in the F. F. A. booth contest. They also helped in the Chamber of Commerce booth. Sola showed two Hereford steers, one, first place: one, second place, and Seven fat hogs, four in first place, three in second place. Nein showed one Hereford steer, which placed second. Cadell and Sola were the delegates to the F. F. A. State Convention on the campus of the California State Polytechnic College, San Luis Obispo. The Chapter project for this year has been ten ewes. These ten ewes produced eleven lambs, and fifteen more sheep Page 28 linflriquez. rail j. Results of the sheep-slieziring in early spring, pictured on page 51. were purchased in March of this year. The plans are now completed for the placing of gt sheep unit, a swine unit, and a project 1'0w beside the beef unit that is now under construction on the School Farm. The boys raked and bailed the oats on the 80 acre School Farm. During the second semester they were joined by Mr, Maynard Mc- Mahon, who is studying to be an agriculture teacher. Mr. Mclvlahon trained members of the organization in public speaking. The boy who won the honor of representing the Stratlimore Chapter was a freshman. Burns. At the Sectional contest held in Woodlake. Norman took fourth place among many other schools. On the night of April third, before they left for the Grand National Junior Live- stock Exposition at the Cow Palace, San Francisco, the F. F. A. boys held their third annual livestock show on the football field. There were thirty steers and forty hogs shown. For the pleasure of the pa1'ents. as well as friends, Arthur Sloan and Max Hurt brought their rabbits. The chapter project lambs were also there to add variety. The Strathmore Chamber of Commerce presented Spuhler and Fisher trophies for having the best steer and best hog respectively. -by Harold Spuhler. lContinued on page 809
