A. is a national organ¬ ization of young farmers. The Crown Point High School Agricul¬ ture students formed a club and applied for an F. F. A. Charter. They received the Charter January 12, 1934. The 1935 Agriculture class adopt¬ ed the Charter and continued where the previous class left off. The following boys have been mem¬ bers for two years and are eligible for a Future Farmers degree: E. Van Denburgh, treasurer; G. Van Denburgh, secretary; C. Van Den¬ burgh, Watch Dog; Steve Sikorcin Reporter; Francis Beeker, Edward Luke. The new members who were initiated as Green Hands are. Everett Winkler; Herbert Schiesser; Junior Dance; Clifford Bartholo¬ mew; Wilbur Wirtz; and Harry Wa¬ gonblast. The members have taken several interesting trips. They went to the International Livestock Show and stayed there for one day. Two delegates from our Chapter at¬ tended the F. F. A. State Conven¬ tion at Purdue and enjoyed a stay of three days. Five more members went a day later; they did not at¬ tend the meeting. All the mem¬ bers were allowed to go through the buildings, attend a banquet and all the boys had a good time. The boys organized a basketball team; they played sixteen games and won 12. By charging admis¬ sion at a few of the games they accumulated a small sum of money in the treasury. The club is now interested in a plan for conservations. They will receive bird eggs from the State and their part is to hatch them and distribute them in the com¬ munity. The club has been successful thru the aid of Mr. Lutz, Vocational Agriculture Teacher. FRESHMAN NOTES (Continued from Page Sixteen) victorious over Merrillville and Cal¬ umet; but they lost several games with the eighth grade team, and lost one game with Lowell. This team was somewhat broken up, due to the fact that Bob Welsh, George Brooks, and Bob Sykora were pro- moted to the high school second team. Later in the year Bob Sy¬ kora was promoted to the tourna¬ ment squad. The school and com¬ munity are expecting great things from these boys in athletics. The 23d of March proved to be a new and exciting experience for our freshmen class. A dance was held in the high school gym, which was beautifully decorated with black and gold paper and balloons. It was both a social and financial suc¬ cess. We have great hopes for our freshmen class as they have shown an excellent school spirit and abil¬ ity to cooperate and “get out and do things.’’

Busenburg. The Student Council has always been active in high school affairs, and we hope that from year to yea ' other students will keep up the loyal tradition. The Student Council is planning to recognize better citizenship qualities by awarding two small medals to a boy and a girl chosen from the student body.
