Band Our senior band, under the leadership of Miss Hazel Morris, has thirty members in uniform. This year we have a junior band, too, which also consists of thirty members. They are striving to become members of the senior band and will some day take the place of those who' grad- uate. They are progressing rapidly. The band has been a busy organization this year, full of work and good times. We played at the Worthington F'air, Campaign Rally at Lin- ton, and several of the home ball games. Eight members participated in the District contest held at Blooming- ton. The four who won first at Bloomington and two student directors, tried their best to win honors at the State contest February 19, at Terre Haute. We plan to take part in the county Band Festival to be held at Bloomfield in March and to give a Spring Festival at Switz City. The band boosters club is well organized this year and has made possible the purchase of two new uniforms, a new BB Flat Sousaphone, and a reconditioned E Flat Sousaphone. Six seniors will receive honor sweaters this year, a reward for par- ticipating in band for several years. Sweaters are to be awarded to Mary Ruth McDaniel, Lena Tolen, Catherine Winters, Jack Sullivan, Willa Dean Gibson, and Gloria Hamner. Glee Club The Glee Clubs are under the direction of Miss Morris. The girl's club has thirty members and the miixed chorus consists of forty boys and girls. We sing both religious and popular music. Members of the Glee Club went Christmas caroling and they will take part in the Spring Festival to be given in March. MAJORETTES R. McDaniel, W. Gibson, B. Gastineau BAND G. Hamner, M. Bump, M.

Future Farmers oi America The Future Farmers of America, or F.F.A. as it is more commonly known, is a national organization of farm boys studying Vocational Agri- culture. The national organization is made up of state organizations including every state but one in the United States, and Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Each state F.F.A. is divided into several districts and these dis- tricts are in turn divided into local chapters, situated in most of the -schools in the districts. The Switz City F.F.A. Chapter, which was organized in the spring of 1945, now has ten Chapter Farmers, the second highest degree. At present there are two Greenhands, the rank of which all F.F.A. mem- bers start. Last year one boy, Vance York, from our chapter was awarded the Hoosier or State Farmer Degree, the third highest degree of the or- ganization, and again this year we have one boy trying for this degree, which is awarded only for outstanding records kept in record books and outstanding records of participation in school and community as well as F.F.A affairs. In the Spring of 1948, we elected new officers. They are as follows: President ...................................,............................................................... Fred Rowe Vice President ........, ......... D avi-d Roudebush Secretary .................. ........ F rank Hardesty Treasurer ........... ...................... B ill White ' Reporter ......... ............... J unior Blanton Sentinel ....................................................................................... Charles Hamner There has been three District meetings this year, at Worthington, Linton, and Bloomfield. Our chapter has been represented at two of these meetings. The next meeting, the Spring Elimination Contests, is to be held at Switz City, with our chapter as hosts. We think that our chapter and its members are doing quite well, for during the past few years, all of the projects have proved very pro- -fitable, showing several thousand dollars in net profits. i mmm I
