The Crosby Chapter of the Future Farmers of America was reorganized in 1945-46. The F. F. A. is a national organization for boys affiliated with vocational agriculture. It is a non-political organization whose purpose is to acquaint boys with better methods of farming; to develop leadership, scholarship and cooperation among the boys. It is an intra-curricular activity that is a definite part of the school curriculum. The F. F. A. teaches the boys how to conduct meetings, speak in public, and solve their own problems; in all of which the members of the Crosby Chapter have actively participated. The boys have also taken part in several school activities. They have a basketball team and sponsored a boxing tournament during the high school carnival.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Standing: Jack Barrett, Pauline Power, Kay Gibbs, Crystal Sandwick, Erwin Lovdahl, Elaine Thvedt, Myron Bothun, Josephine Benson, Ardis Anderson, Seated: Delores Malnaa, Gloria Malnaa, John Andrist. “A LITTLE HONEY” “Yes,” As Diana (Pauline) meekly answers Tom (Jack) after the careful planning and cooperation of everyone but Mrs. Minton (Elaine) including a cake, candy, a dress, and even a baby. Tom has come back from China to find Diana in overalls and working at the Ashton Auto School. Scoots (Ardis) is very much concerned over her jumping frog, Pegasus, who wins her a puppy. Jerry (Gloria) usually gets what she wants and practically leads Albert (John) around by the nose. Grandma’s (Delores) big heart (and purse) seems to be able to fix everything. Mr. Minton (Erwin), a little on the henpecked side, is sought out, by the Southern and attractive Mrs. Tyler (Crystal). Delores (Josephine), though a very capable women, can’t seem to keep up with the family affairs as well as the want ads. Mrs. Simmons (Kay) seems to have trouble keeping Grandma, with her broken hip, in her wheel chair. While the Sure Shot Man (Myron), who exterminates bed bugs, consoles Mrs. Minton they are really nothing but woodticks. With the cooperation of Mr. Hunt, Miss Steinmeier and Mrs. Kirby, this three act comedy by William Davidson was a great success. The proceeds went toward the producing of the Junior-Senior Prom.
