When the school term opened in September the FFA started the year with a new adviser and in- structor. Mr. Lawrence Lee Jones filled the vacancy as agriculture instructor created by the resignation of Mr. George Walker. After every one was acquainted the FFA boys held a meeting at which the following officers were elected. Donald Wankel, president, Tom Cosner, vice president, Fred Bergschneidelr, secretary, Her- schel Reiser, treasurerg and Dale Keltner, reporter. This year the FFA chapter increased from 17 to 37 members. The sectional grain and poultry show was held in Athens, October 9. This ended the shows for the year with the boys collecting about 3,3250 in prize money. This year the boys held several money making projects. A basketball game between the alumni and the faculty, a paper drive and a barn dance were the main projects. The closing events of the year were the annual Father and Son banquet, served by the mothers, which was held March 26 at the high school, with Dr. Nolan of the University of Illinois, the main speaker. Last June the fatstock, poultry and dairy judg- ing teams went to Champaign to take part in the State Judging contest. Herschel Reiser placed fourth in the fatstock division with the team placing eighth in the state. Dale Keltner, Harry D. Christianer, Ed- ward Houston, Tom Cosner, and Richard Houston, stayed in Champaign in order that they could attend the State FFA convention wnich was held the day after the judging. Tom Cosner received the State Farmer's degree and was elected vice president of section 12. He is the first boy in the Ashland Coni- munity high school to receive this honor. Page 'Iwenty-eight

Ruth Brown was named program chairman, Max- ine Bryant, social chairman, Betty Allen, song leader, and Marietta Danenberger, Lucille Caswell, and Jane Edwards, publicity chairmen. The club had two meetings each month, one social and one business. The club was again affiliated with the American Home Economics association. The point system was installed this year. The Fixeruppers were quite active during the year. A trip to Chicago was the goal set by the club. To make money, a. bake sale was held, at which cakes, cookies, and rolls were sold. The club sold hot dogs, chocolate milk, and orange-ade during the tournament, held two chili luncheons during the month of February, served the county schoolmas- ter's dinner in March and an all-school Christmas party which was held in December. In March the Fixeruppers club sponsored a cour- tesy week and presetated a program on nutrition for a combined meeting of the Woman's club. They also gave this program for the PTA in February. The year's social activities were a formal installa- tion, a formal initiation with candle-light ceremony at which twenty-six new members were initiated: the mothers program which was in May, and the joint party with the FFA club. The big social event of the year sponsored by the Fixeruppers was The Snow Frolic. Two delegates will be sent by the Fixeruppers to the state club camp this summer. Ruth Brown and Mary Cosner represented the club at the homo economics state camp Bloomington last June. Miss Ruth Mixa, instructor, was named state club sponsor for the 1942 year. Page Twenty-seven
