PROPERTY MEN Members of the Beloit Chapter Future Farmers of America include boys enrolled in vocational agriculture. Of the four degrees in FFA the local chapter has 21 green hands, 40 Chapter Farmers, and one State Farmer. Beloit officers are confined to junior class boys. Eldon Treaster was chosen as state farmer last year; Donald Treaster and Keith Leslie are candidates this year. FFA meetings have been held one night each month and numerous business meetings often convene during school time. Outstading social events this year include the parent and son banquet, stag turkey feed, and the hay rack ride. Membership in FFA creates interest in school work, as well as offering opportunities to develop each individual boy in leadership, scholarship, and a farming program. One will find a large number of these members out for athletic games.

MAKE-UP ARTISTS As a m ke-up artist prepares a pT at star for the final shots of a scene, so the Girl Reserve organization prepares a girl for wholesome living in the future. Influencing and building a better spiritual life is the final touch to a girl’s make-up for life. With approximately one hundred thirty-two members, the G.R. organization held an active part in school life. The book exchange at the opening of school was sponsored by the G.R. During football season the girls worked at the concession stand. Committee projects included scrapbooks for children in the hospitals, scrapbooks for service men, Valentine heartsisters, the maintaining of a book of news clippings about the G.R. and the planning of programs and printing program booklets. Varied programs and social events completed a year of activities. This year, because of the great number of new girls attending Beloit high school, a new “big and little sister” method, proved helpful in aiding the new girls to become acquainted. Margaret Barrett, Lois Houghton and sponsors, Miss Dryden and Miss Bell were delegates at Camp Wood last summer. At the fall and winter conference held at Mankato, nineteen girls and two sponsors attended. Having achieved the highest requirements attainable, they were presented the gold seal. Thus by the moulding strokes of the make-up artists, the Girl Reserves are made better companions—better citizens. Oo OO V V G.R.
