Although they were few, twenty-two in number, they accomplished a great deal under the competent leadership of Mr. Ulery. Their theme song, “On Byron,” gave courage and pep to our Basketball Champs. A spring concert was given, and they displayed their talent at the contest. Due to the lack of instrumentation, music selections were limited. Most of the year was spent working on marches, but once in a while they swung out on such songs as “Deep Purple.” The officers are: President, Jim Hendee; vice-president, Forest Dewar; and sec- retary-treasurer, Mary Smith.

William Ashelford, president, has led the Byron Chapter of Future Farmers of America through one of its most successful years. This year the chapter has empha- sized cooperation and community service in their program by selling garden seeds, test- ing milk and soil for farmers.

Other officers of the chapter are Willis Hagemann, vice president; Robert Boehm, secretary; Wesley Palmer, treasurer; James Bridgeland, reporter; and Richard Leary, sentinel. The chapter was also active in social and recreational activities such as sponsor- ing their eleventh annual banquet for the parents, sponsoring several school parties, and playing basketball games after the meetings.
