The stage was arranged as a forest scene with trees, logs, and a campfire. The girls’ costumes were bright colored ballet length skirts, white, long sleeved blouses, black boleros and bright head bands. The boys wore black boleros, dark trousers. and bright waist sashes. A tenor solo, “The Gypsy,” was sung by Bill Buie and the trio composed of Frankie.Flaming, Beth Goeringer, and Darline Anderson sang “The Wraggle Taggle Gyp- sies, O!” A Christmas cantata was presented on the chapel program. On January 31, the glee club went to the annual high school mass chorus at Still- water where they were directed by Noble Cain, noted composer and director. On March 10 the glee club sang at the monthly Superintendents’ and Principals’ Meet- ing. .Two numbers by the glee club as a whole were presented at this time. They were “Thanks Be To God,” and “Good-night; Good-night, Beloved.” The quartet, composed of Gloria Pugh, Donna Faye Carnes, Janelle Akers, and Helen Schmidt, sang “March Winds.” In the spring, the glee club made a trip to’ the surrounding schools—Sentinel, Port, Foss and Burns Flat. The glee club, girls’ trio and several solos entered the contest at Weatherford. The glee club participated in the Washita County Music Festival where a unit of class- ical songs were presented. EVERETT MAXWELL Band Director (ees The band and their instructor, Everett Maxwell, began practicing eight weeks before the school term.

This trip was the long- est one ever taken by members of the Cordell Chapter. Soon after school started came the County Junior Livestock Fair. At this fair Don Brown had the Grand Champion calf which was a Black Angus. Then followed the State Fair at Oklahoma City. Our department exhibited a F. F. A. booth which was put up by Mr. Wyatt with the accompaniment of Her- shell Stafford, Ssmmy Goss, Everett Medlin, and Leonard Samples. This booth won a prize of $50.00. In the livestock show department of the State Fair, Don Brown placed first with his Angus Steer for a total of $25.00 premium money. Don also won sixth place with his Hereford steer and second and third places with Hereford heifers. Following the State Fair at Oklahoma City, Don Brown exhibited an Angus steer at the American Royal Livestock Exposition at Kansas City, Missouri. His calf placed third at this show. Mr. Wyatt drove his car on this trip and Howard Bose, Gerald Vanimon, and Harvey Schmidt accompanied him. Don Brown and Harvey Schmidt were delegates from our chapter to the F. F. A. Convention which was held at Kansas City at the same time. At the Washita County Livestock show which was held in Cordell March 11, Don Brown exhib- ited first place, Champion, Grand Champion Steer.

Don Brown won a total of $74.00 at this show and Harvey Schmidt won a total of $45.00. The Chapter honored Anna Mae Wyatt by electing her queen for the school year. She is the daughter of the Vocational teacher, Mr. Wyatt, and is the first girl in Oklahoma whose father is Voca- tional Agriculture teacher, ever to have this honor. At the time of this writing, an F. F. A. banquet is being planned in connection with the Kiwanis and Rotarians for April 17 in the Dining Hall of the Methodist Church.

Other social events are planned for the chapter as the school year draws to a close. Other winners in the Spring Livestock Show in Oklahoma City are not known at this time. However, Harvey Schmidt and Don Brown are making entries and it is expected they will take their share of honors. W. B. WYATT Sponsor ANNA MAE WYATT F. F. A.
