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
