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

Student Council President ........ Frannie Noyes Vice-Pres...... Marguerite Johnston Secretary-Treasurer Dick Swanson Advisor ................... Mr. Haire First Row: Swanson, Johnston, Noyes, Fleming, Mr. Haire. Second Row: Dillow, Kennedy, Harmon, Jones. The Student Council is composed of eight members, two from each class. These eight members, elected by their classmates, meet with Mr. Haire once a month to dis- cuss student problems. This year’s council was instrumental in starting a dancing class which was held during noon hours for those people who were interested in learning to dance. The council also worked out a plan to purchase new records to be used at school parties. Most of the work of the council, however, was the establishment of school policies that would lead to a smooth working school unit without placing undue restric- tions on students, faculty, or administration. Spanish Club This year, with the coming of a new teacher, Miss Stiles, and a new subject, a new club was organized—the Spanish Club. It is a small club composed of the members of the class, but it is an active organization. Meetings are held once a month at which time the members report on life in old Spain. In addition the students carry on corre- spondence with the students in Spain. On February 15 the group presented a Spanish Fiesta and it proved to be one of the most enjoyable social events of the year. Following the program and refreshments, there was music and dancing for everyone. President ........ Betty McCormick Vice-President Marleen Harris Secretary .........
