77,-ifdaqaeaafadan' FFA WAS DESIGNED to prepare many of the boys for successful farming. FFA, or in full, Future Farmers of America, requires all rnem- bers to be active. The members stimulate in- terest in every new freshman by showing off their complete workshop. As a result they have a large membership with many eager underclassmen ready to take responsi- bilities. They must learn the rules of parlia- mentary procedure and practice them in their meetings, assemblies, and contests. FFA also stands for fun, as the boys who went on the trip to Chicago can testify! Other activities this organization took part in include judging livestock, grain, and land: public speaking contest: and their annual pest contest. Work- ing with the FHA organization, they elect the Miss Sweetheart candidates. And this year for the first time, the FFA elected their own sweet- heart at their FFA banquet. lane Pendarvis was elected with Iill Gallehue, Peggy Alls- house, and Anne Evans serving as her court.

ndewmckzl 14754 Kaya acgarize mlmdle 466164 A CLUB THAT APPEALED to the practical minded boys of B-PC was the Industrial Arts Club. Thanks to the Industrial Arts Club, the girls' physical education department acquired a new piece of equipment, a balance beam. The individual room passes that traveled down the halls were also made by the club. An addition to the basketball scoreboard was the player identification display board used in the gymnasium. To supplement their classroom and workshop experiences, the boys and their sponsor traveled to Peoria, where they took a guided tour of the Caterpillar Company. The boys spent much of their workshop per- iods working on various projects, which were displayed in the windows downtown. Several of the best projects were sent to Macomb, where they were displayed at an Industrial Arts fair. The Silver Hammer was present- ed to Gary Gain and Harold Spurgeon as outstanding in shop and in club work. 11151 1 It s 11n5, r111sur11 rx Il 1'i1'v-pr1'.s'i1l1'11f: Cm' NYils1111. rr 51111 llf ll 1111 cl 111r1.,11111 111 fl any 1 rt 11111 ittx. 1sp1111.s'111'.
