fy fy.A. PoAiicipaieA, in Many AciivUtieA The F.F.A. members had a very active year. Among the many things they did this year are: attend the Mid-South Fair in Memphis, Tennessee, last fall; made floats for the Bernie parade; and sponsor- ed the Barnwarming. During the National F.F.A. Week, Feb- ruary 19 through 26, they put a Billboard poster along the highway near Bernie. During the spring they competed in agri- cultural judging contests in field crops, animal husbandry, dairy, and poultry. These are pictures which were taken at the Barnwarming on November 13.

The Beta Club enjoyed one of its most success- ful years in 1965-66. Much of its success was due to the early planning that was done by the officers and the subsequent planning by commit- tees . The group continued with its usual projects of the Ice-Cream Concession, Coat and Hat Check and selling Christmas cards. For the second consecutive year, they visited a rest home in Bloomfield during the Christmas season. They carried with them a box of fruit, nuts, candy, and cookies and small personal gifts. They operated the Concession Stand during the Bernie Invitational Tournament, bought floral pieces for the office, sponsored Teacher Appreciation Week, and attended the Beta Convention in St. Louis. One of the most important projects was the Beta Scholarship fund. A $200 award was pre- sented to a senior on Achievement Day by the Beta president. This was begun by the 1963-64 group when they presented a $100 award to Lindell Eads. The 1964-65 group presented a $200 award to Sheryl Palmer. The recipient of the award is chosen by the Betas. At right are various scenes of the Key Induction Ceremony held last October. At this ceremony, fourteen new members were admitted to the Beta Club.
