The advisor is Miss Holmes. The F. H. A. has proved a very active organization. Shortly after school began a banquet was held and the new members were initiated. For the December regular meeting the F.H.A. sponsored a tea for the mothers of the members. In March a field trip was planned which took the members to a Coca Cola Com- pany and several other places of interest in Rockford. To bolster the financial status of the organization the members sold eversharp pencils with Byron Tigers printed on them and pencils with the basketball schedule on them. As a final activity a style show was planned and held in May. The girls modeled clothes, some of which were made in Homemaking classes. TWENTY -ONE

First Row: M. Brideeland, Mr. Haire, Spencer, Johnston. Second Row: M. Harmon, Noyes, Champion, Buisker, D. Palmer. The Student Council, composed of two representatives from each class, elected as its officers for this year Barbara Spencer (Senior), President; Bill Champion (Sen- ior). Vice-President; Marguerite Johnston (Sophomore), Secretary-Treasurer. The purpose of the Student Council is to make recommendations whereby the school and its activities can be improved. This year the Student Council sponsored an open house to which all parents and friends were invited. School was conducted at the open house in much the same man- ner as the regular school day with the exception that the classes were shorter in dura- tion. Immediately following the last class, the students, parents, and friends assem- bled in the gym where the basketball team under the direction of Mr. Haselton demon- strated different basketball plays and rules. The secondary event sponsored by the Student Council was the drive for money for the March of Dimes. This hotly contested drive with the Seniors and Sophomores opposing the Juniors and Freshmen ended in a tie. Forty-two dollars was collected at that time for this worthy cause. The Student Council meets once a month with Mr. Haire as its advisor. It is at these meetings that the problems of the school are discussed and corrected. If anyone has a problem take it to a Student Council Representative, and he will in turn take it to the principal. ☆ ☆ ☆ TWENTi

The Future Farmers of America, which is one of the most active organizations in school, has been very successful this year in carrying out the numerous projects which were undertaken. Among these are trips to Chicago to attend the International Live- stock Exposition and the International Harvester Centennial Exposition, arranging to have a donkey basketball game at Byron, making plans to sell garden plants, sponsoring a county-wide rat-killing drive, and organizing a Chapter basketball team, to mention just a few. The officers who are helping to make these things possible are: Wesley Palmer, President: Donald Snyder, Vice-President; James Bridgeland, Secretary: Robert Don- aldson, Treasurer: Bill Ashelford, Reporter; and Jack Campbell, Sentinel. The members are hoping that they may again receive the highest honor which can be bestowed upon any F.F.A. Chapter, The Golden Emblem. TWENTY-TWO
