And we must help to make it so. Girls in high school who are now enrolled in a home economics course or who have taken two years’ work in that department are eligible for membership in this club. A meeting is held at four o’clock the first Wednesday of each month, and it usually consists of business discussion, games, and refreshments. This year five girls attended the State Home Economics convention which was held at Peoria. They were Marjorie Funk, Lena Mae Cornelius, Mary Belle Lefever, Margaret Tynan, and June McCrary. During the early part of the first semester, the new members were initiated into this organization at a barnyard party. Following the initiation ceremony, a candlelight service was held. Instead of having the usual Christmas party for the mothers, the girls had a Valentine party. The girls always look forward to the Home Ec-Ag party which is held early in the spring. A picnic ends the activities of the club. —26—

BAND The band organized at the beginning of the year and elected the following officers: Scotty Wilkinson, president; Catherine Kintner, vice president; Frances Moery, sec’y-treas.; and Elton Haynes, librarian. A marching band of fifty members was formed to play at the football games where the music and formations between halves always added pep and color. At the homecoming game, it led the parade through the town and out to the football field. In the spring of 1038, the band attended the district, state and national contests and won high honors in each. When the band met again in the fall of 1938, it had lost four members of the previous year and had gained many new ones, making a total of sixty-seven players. This year the band, directed by Mr. Keller, has already won the district contest held at Arthur on April 1. They are to attend the state contest in Urbana on April 28 and 29. On April 22, the band presented a concert at the Scout Conclave held in the armory at Decatur. The annual spring concert was given in the high school gymnasium on April 27, the night before the state contest. —25

The purposes of this organization are: To develop agricultural leadership, strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work, create a love of country life, improve the rural home and its surroundings, encourage cooperative effort among students of vocational education in agriculture, promote thrift among students, encourage organized recreational activities, and advance the cause of vocational education in agriculture in the public schools. The local chapter is affiliated with the state and national organizations. The boys of the club meet at least once a month to discuss problems and activities of the farm. The club is trying to promote better projects and is active in all kinds of judging contests. It has won the Sectional Championship Banner six years out of the past nine years that it competed. —27—
