Mr. Haselton The Freshman Class, composed of sixteen girls and eleven boys, maintains that it is the most musical class in school. Ten of the twenty-seven students are members of the band, playing everything from trumpets to the bass drum. Yet, lest some one think that they have no time for anything eke, it should be pointed out that six of the eleven boys were on the Junior Varsity basketball team. Here is concrete evidence of the fact that the class of ’52 is an active, wide awake class, ready to take its place in Byron High. One event of the school year that will long be remembered by the Freshmen was their initiation early in the Fall. It cannot be said that the Sophomores were unkind, but when the evening was over the Freshies realized that a new phase of their education had begun. FOURTEEN

Myers. The Future Farmers The Future Farmers started the year without an instructor and advisor, but they made up for lost time when Mr. Hahn came in October to guide their activities. At their first meeting they chose Don Snyder as their leader. Roger Myers was elected vice-president; Dick Donaldson, secretary; Pat Riley, treasurer; Jesse Cope- land, reporter; and Dick Palmer, sentinel. The organization was very successful in its many undertakings. During the year it took a trip to the International Livestock Show, planned a turkey raffle, sold pop- corn at ball games, sponsored a donkey ball game, organized a Chapter basketball team, took part in the sectional judging contest, held a speech contest, met with the FHA and other FFA Chapters, and sponsored an all school party. Since the FFA has as its pur- pose the training of better farm- ers for tomorrow, its members feel that great strides toward their goal were made during the year. SIXTEEN
