The Strathmore High School Y-Teen club didn't get started until December this year. However, they accomplished a. good deal in the short time they were active. The group held night meetings at the homes of various members. They planned their entire program themselves, under the direction of Miss Aubery, new club adviser. Officers who served the group were: President. Glenda Marchg vice- president, Ona Lee Powerg secretary, Judy Tocchini: treas- urer, Lola Mae Longley: program chairman, Carol Bequetteg and devotional chairman, Dell Juan Hughes. The club raised money and helped send two delegates, Judy Tocchini and Barbara Branch, to the Y-Teen midwinter conference at Asilomar. Eight other members attended the confer- ence. Mrs. Claude Branch and Miss Aubery accompanied the group. The Y-Teens held a slumber party at Glenda March's home after a basketball game. A rollicking good time was had by all, especially by Miss Aubery. The high school Y-Teens joined the Sunnyside and Strath- L to R Barbara Nelson, Barbara Branch, Delphia Pierce, Georgia Rogers, Ruth Gange.

This group presented the program for the affair. Several girls attended mem- bership dinners given in Orosi and Exeter. These provided opportunities for meeting girls from the different clubs in the district. A committee this year drew up what is probably the first constitution the Strathmore High School Y-Teens have ever had. This constitution went into effect in Liarch. The Y-Teens are the teenage members of the Y. W. C. A, This organization has clubs in eighty-seven of the worlds countries. It is the largest womens organiza- tion in the world. Its pu1'pose is to build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we seek to understand Jesus, to share in his love for all people, and to grow in the knowledge and love of God. -by Ellen Woody L to R--Donna Gill, Patsy Coley, Carol Fillmore, Nadine Spuhler, Phyllis Knutson.

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
