In October, the Chapter cooperated with the Commercial Club in sponsoring the Halloween Party. At the party, the FFA set up a Carnival which consisted of two ball throwing stands. We have a chapter gilt on contract with Jerry Mills and plan to put out another one. We have rented six acres of farm land from Barney Kindwall and plan to raise corn on it. The farm is set up under a farm manager plan. Ralph Watts is farm manager with James Otto and Bur- ton Johnson as his assistants. 4'- The Commercial Club has asked our Chapter to assist them in erecting a new welcome sign at the edge of Alta. Pictured on this page are sime of our members and their productive projects. They also have im- provement and supplementary farm practices. We initiated seven Freshmen into our Chapter. In contest and judging work very well. At Spencer we placed forty-four teams. As Correctionville out of fourteen teams and our hog and sheep teams topped their division. At the sub-district speaking contest we won first in Public Speaking and Ex- temporaneous Speaking, second in Parliamentary Procedure, and third in Creed Speaking. Earlier in the fall we toured the Sioux City stockyards, packing plant, and other points of interest. Our Agriculture teacher, Marvin Polzien. is a 1956 graduate of Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa.

The Juniors of the Alta high school were hosts and hostesses to the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet on April 21, 1956, at 7 p.m. The entrance was composed of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck displaying the banner entitled, Garden of Fantasy. The coat check was made up or latticed blue and white streamers, with an arched doorway en- twined with pink and red carnations. The side sections of the south wall depicted a storybook theme from Disneyland. The characters shown were Uncle Scroogeg Donald Ducky Grand- ma Duckg Daisy Ducky Huey, Dewey and Louieg Mickey and Minnie Mouseg Pluto, and Lady and the Tramp. The animated section displayed the scene of Minnie talking to Goofy in front of a little cottage. Uncle Scrooge, Grandma Duck, the three nephews, and Pluto by his dog house were spectators to the scene. A sloping grass hill led to the stage. Welcome Seniors was spelled out in colored carnations on the green slope. A stairway, bordered by rocks and flowers cut through the center of the hill and led to the stage. A statue of Donald Duck at the top of the steps resembeled a master of ceremonies. A white fence entwined with colored flowers bordered the stage. The ceiling was of French Blue and Light Blue streamers. The punch stand was decorated as an old stone wishing well, complete with the old oaken bucket. The north wall continued to carry out the storybook theme of Disneyland. Horace Horsecol- lar, Donald Duck, the three nephews, Pluto and the two little pups and Goofy thumbing a ride were all traveling the winding road to Fantasyland Castle. The west wall was a beautiful forest scene including green trees, a waterfall and colorful mountains. Many forest animals, a mountain pool and lovely flower beds completed the scene. Dumbo, the flying elephant, winked gayly at the guests from his perch high on the west wall of the gym. The center of attraction was a beautiful blue and white fountain in the center of the dance floor. Out of the high stone center flowed showers of sparkling blue water. The waiters and waitresses wore costumes re- sembling those of Peter Pang green shirts, yellow pants, and bright colored hats with a feather in them. These waiters and waitresses served the ban- quet dinner and acted as hosts and hostesses at the open house held on Saturday and Sunday after- noons. The music for the evening of dancing was fur- nished by Jimmy Smith and his orchestra. At inter- mission, a 'minstrel show was presented by sixteen freshmen students A very enjoyable evening came to a close at 11:45. tt' if if . ' . it R ggi? ' 1 SPONSORED BY ALTA COMMERCIAL CLUB
