Many schools exchanged papers with us this year. We were repre- sented at the Student Press Conference in November at Lyndon Teachers College. The publication date was set on Thursdays this year and Was sent out every two weeks. We sold subscriptions this year to meet our expenses. Many townspeople and alumni received copies of the Monitor. Mrs. Ladd was our advisor. She gave much of her time to discuss matters with the staff and assist us in many ways. Mr. Allen was our proofreader and gave much of his time to help us to get our paper out on time. In each issue we tried to include school news, editorials, articles written by students, jokes, quizzes or puzzles, poems and sports. The staff wishes to thank those that subscribed' to the Monitor, and hopes that they got enjoyment from our paper and will subscri'be next year. Virginia Taylor '60

At the beginning of the year we worked in the town wood' lot. We cut white birch logs, which we sold at Kenr1edy's mill. After pay- ing expenses, we cleared about 55100. We held our 7th Annual FFA Fun Night at the Chelsea Gym. We added several new games this year. It was a success and a profit was made. The Chelsea Chapter won the District chapter meeting con- test this year and are now entitled to try for the state Contest in Chapter meetings. We attended the Winter Carnival in Bradford and placed second. We lost to Bradford by 50 points. The score was 250 to 300. The Chapter had an exhibit at the Farm Show in Barre entitled The Farm Pond . We also entered in a new contest at the Farm Show, Milk Flavoring. The official team from Chelsea was Robert Svarfvar, Robert Sanborn, and Brian Button. YVe have just brought our Eastern States seed selling contest to a close. Our goal of S400 was nearly reached. Robert Svarfvar was high salesman and received 1075 of his sales. We purchased a new elec- tric grill for the purpose of selling hot dogs at the basketball games. Our sales increased as we expected they would. We had the honor of representing the State of Vermont at Eastern States Exposition with our Poultry Team. We are planning to attend the state judging contest in Burl-ington again this year and we hope we can win the sweepstakes again this year as we have in the past two years. Brian Button ' S9
