' HISTORY In the fall of 1939, a class of forty-five, not so green, freshman started their flight training toward Vic- tory in Donovan high School. From the ranks, to lead the squadron came Capt. Dick Johnson, Lieut. Betty Loveless and Corp. Byron Hegnier with Liss Rlpple to act as M.P. A rather momentous year followed. Before the basic training was over, the school burned and we moved into temporary quarters. During this year, the Donovan Townslip High School Band started and eleven of us were among those beginning with it. We were active in sports and everything going on around the field. The last retreat was sounded for Melvin Anderson, one of the cadets, on March E, 1940. We all missed him. Past the stage of rookies, the squadron flew on into its second year. Our number was reduced to th1rty-sev- en and commanders were changed to Capt. Joe Lamie, Lieut. Leonard Blanchette, Corp. John Dube, and Miss Schauer, M.P Confidence growing with experience, members of the corps were active in most all activities, being in the English play, band, athletics, operetta, and orchestra. As the flight progressed and Victory was nearer in 1941-1942, the Junmors were a crack outfit. With only twenty-three cadets, we did a fine job of everything. A Thanksgiving dance, a farewell party, other parties, and finally a Victory Banquet were sponsored by the squadron. Many of the Juniors participated in extra actlvities and especially in sports. As usual the officers were changed with Dlck Johnson, Helen Elliott, Bill Johnson, and Mr. Goff in command. Roaring on, on to the Victory, our Senior year begank Due to the War and rationing, activities were curtailed some but we made- the best of everything, sponsoring a St. Pat's Party and a Prom. In command of the last flight in high school, were Capt. Eunice Patnaude, Lieut. Kenny Tunks, Corp. Bill JoLnson, Co. Paymaster Doris Winroth, and Mrs. Eskengren, M.P.. Ten cadets from Martinton and one from Beaverville enlisted into our outfit this year, but Martinton's Bob Tibetts' enlistment ran out. Then in March, Wanda Wade from Watseka joined us. Even though there were few activities, the troop was active. Fourteen were band members, and in sports, we shone. Letter men were, Joe Lamle, Wllbur Bauer, Donald Finch, George Bard, Dick Johnson, B111 Johnson, Kenneth Tunks, and George Morrison. . As a final splurge, the scuadron gave a Victory Prom. With decorations in red, white, and blue, on a Victory theme, and Ross Melks' Orchestra, it's needless to say everybody had a marvelous time. The Baccalaureate services were held on May 50, and on May Bl, the honors were given to Senlors in a speech given by Dr. Richard G. Browne, as we went flying on, hav- ing been victorious in high school, to the real Victory, and to Peace.. e A CARRY ON Carry ont Carry ont' Fight the good fight and trueg Believe in your mission, greet life wlth a cheerg There's big work to do, and that's why you are here.

Yes, today I am thinking about taking a vacation and going to see all of the 1945 graduates of Donovan Township high School. September Q ' Today I entered Chicago and to my surprise I met Lila Web- ster. She told me she had been working in a nurses school since she left Donovan. It was called the nKill 'Em or Cure 'Emu Nurses' School. I left Lila informing her that I was in perfect health. September Q Strolling down the street I saw 'a billboard sign reading nLillian Andersonu. I had waited around the stage door of the theater when out she walked. She had some good-looking guy with her so I didn't have much time to talk with her. Lillian surely has taken her success as a singer with a poised modesty. September Q While on the train leaving for St. Louis I ran into Charles Sykes. He infonmed me that he had been appointed to the Barnum Bailey Show as a concert violinist of the flea circus. By the things he attempted to carry, I believed hime September 2 ' Arriving in St. Louis I saw George Bard looking as if he had something to worry about. He approached me and told me that he was just worried. I told him that just being wor- ried was nothing to worry about. He said that he was wor- rying because other people did,fand if he did it would save someone else from worrying. I didn't understand what he meant but I left him worrylngk September ll Sitting in the lobby of the hotel, I was listening to the radio. I heard one broadcast NLadies, it is said that in America today all women want to be beautiful.n There was some more of the talk but I was surprised to hear that the broadcast had It was nice to September IQ Getting off of the street to been given by the voice of Helen Elliott. hear her even if I couldn't see her. the train at Buren, Kansas, I started down find some place to stay over night. I had in mind a sign nRoom for Rentn. I found one and approach- ed the door. It was opened by none other than Margaret Shykek Margaret hasn't changed a bit.

The stew- ardess was Lstella Mae Lowe. Lstella hasn't grown an inch taller, but she surely looks snappy in her uniform. We really had an enjoyable conversation on the flight to Cal- lfornia. September lg When my plane landed on the HBigger-They-are-the-Harder' They-Fall Airportj'who should come out to meet Whaley. She told me she had been sole owner me but Fran of the air- port for some tine. Business surely was good. Maybe it was due to the handsome pilots she had. September 12 I met Cecelia Schlomer out on the beach today. Cecelia told me she had been a model for the Camel cigarette bill- boards. Yes, Cecelia surely takes her occupation with happy smiles. September QQ On the way to the beach I met another CBP. It was a rath- er broken down job, 1 recognized it to be Donald Finch. Don began to tell me about our old school days. HSay, do you remember in our Junior year, how we fixed up some old contraption and chased down to K.K.K. to the big show Madame LaKonga used to put on? Remember how you beat up that town cop that tried to run us in on Halloween, and we took the gasoline sign and tied it on Principal Mooreis door? Oh, Gosh, those were the daystn We really had a pleasant conversation. September QQ On my way to Seattle, Washington I stopped my car at a gas- oline station. Out walked Wayne Lafond. He told me that this wasn't ppp much to do. The door opened and out walk- ed two of the cutest little girls you ever saw. Yes, they were Wayne's. After a time he called his wife out and we really had a nice time. September QQ ' ' Reaching Seattle, I took a taxi to one of the night clubs, NOle Plantationn. It was owned by none other than Helen Laffoon. Helen said she had someone working for her that I knew. She called, nhey, Billht It was Bill Johnson Bill had recently been hired as bouncer, so I was very careful about my conduct. September QQ After leavinb Seattle I went to Vestal, Washington. I took my leave from the bus and when I was walking along the street, Betty Sctarcy came rushing by on a motorcycle. Betty stopped and told me that her boy friend had gotten it a few months before and that she had been taking ln- structlons for some time. She said sho didn't seem to get the Hhengn of it, and that maybe it wasn't such a good motorcycle. In my estimation, I think she has taken on a man-sized job. October Q Not finding such terribly interesting amusements in Vestal, I went to Denver, Colorado. I looked for the opera house that evening. After asking several questions, I found out where it was located. After sitting in the balcony for some time, I saw a tall, sophisticated woman appear on the stage. I thought I recognized her, but her opera clothing confused me. She started to sing. Yes, it was Dorothy Finch. She really sounded wonderful. Dorothy has taken her success with great modesty. October Q I moved my belongings to a small group of cabins along the outskirts of Denver. It was a nice location and I really had swell service, too. Of course I had good reasons to get it. The cabins were owned by Erwin Andrews. He said that he and Ella were getting along very nicely in Denver. I surely had a pleasant stay with them. October Q I just arrived in Temple, Texas. I had been wandering around for a short time when I came to door with a sign on it that read, HEun1ce's Dude Dudsu. I entered and my cur iosity was satisfied to find Eunice Patnaude sewing on some kind of riding pants. She said they were for Dorothy Stemke. She also said that Dorothy surely had taken a fancy to horses. I wished I could have seen her. October ll ' ' From Temple, Texas, I went to Atlanta, Georgia. In one part of the city, I found out from several bystanders, that they had gathered to see the NBelle of Georgian being chosen. There were girls of all descriptions some were pretty and some just thought they were. The talk of the parade was none other than Kathryne Glad. She won the rib- bon of Georgia and was I proud to think we had gone to school togetherk October lg I left Atlanta today and drove toward Mobile, Alabama. Since I was ln my car I had to get some gas. Just asnw car stalled, I came near a gas station, so I walked over and I surely was surprised to see Kenneth Tunks running it. He said he could give 'me some gas later, but at the present he suggested we go talk about our old school days in a nearby lunch room. October lg I went to Tampa, Florida, and after arriving I made up my mind to spend Asome time at one of the tourist camps. After making my reservations, I decided to go for a swim. On my way to the pool, 1 stumbled over someone's feet. When I turned around to say HPardon me.n whom should be at the other end of those feet but Dolores Lafond. Dolores told me that she was on a vacation from her job as a sten- ographer. She said that the boss who had hired her was very nice looking. Of course, that is all she told mg. October gl Leaving Tampa, I continued on my way to Charleston, South Carolina. After checking in at one of the hotels, I decid- ed to make a phone call for some information that I wished to know. I entered the telephone operator's room and there sat Beverly Kauffmann with her arms all tangled up in switchboard plugs and calling numbers about 60 a minute. After a relief operator came in to take her place she was free to talk to me. We had a talk over about everything that had happened since we had last seen each other. October QQ wandering around the hotel lobby, I met Wilbur Bauer. Wilbur said he was in the city looking for cotton pickers. I soon learned that he owned a cotton plantation some dis- tance south of Charleston. I went out to see the place later. nhlckn said he really was proud of the house yard and that he had worked very hard to get it that way. KThat is not what his wife told me.D October QQ I was strolling down' the street just wondering what I would do when e swarm of boys came rushing out of c build- xng. I then learned that it was the Press building. I entered and after walking up several flights of stairs I came to a door that had Q sign on it that read nhicherd S. Johnson, Editor, Private.n I opened the door and there sat D1ck ,w1tn his feet up on the desk, smoking cigars. and looking very business like. We discussed business and other things---mostly other things. October gi Departing for another city 1 headed toward New York City, New York. First, I went to one of the night clubs. I was seated at one of the tables waiting for someone I knew when I suddenly saw Betty Houghton. She was dressed in a very demure black gown. She came over to my table and af- ter some time I was introduced to someone by the name of Mr. Webster. Betty told me that I should come and visit their Park Avenue apartment. October QQ I was on the verge of walking to the station to catcha bus when a taxi came along. I hailed lt and stepped back in surprise to see the driver-to-be, Charles Clawsonl I asked hin to take me to some place where I could have a good time. He said the only place he had a good time was when he was there and when he made the stop lights, running his taxi through the streets of New York City. He said that it would be nice not to be alone on his trips he made. Yes, l would say we had quite an evening, racing with stop lights. October QQ This morning as I was on my way up town I was hailed from a doorway, and who should come out but Ella Stuckey. She told me that she was in the city to make an exhibition of her uLast hose of Summern. 1 didn't quite get what she meant, but she explained that she was a professional florlst. Ella walked with me uptown and I bid her good luck on her nLast hose of Summcr.n October QQ I had been wondering why it took so long to get to Pitts- burgh. I called the conductor and he informed me we were nearing the city. I snapped on my portable radio just in time to hear the announcer say,nNow ladies and gentlemen, we bring you Betty Nea1's All Girl Orchestra. Betty will take the lead with the silver tones of the p1ano.n Betty surely was grand. I only wished I could have seen her. Well, here I am in Pittsburgh. November Q I went to a Club that was to represent some Charity Associ- ation. I surely was surprised to see George Morrison. And more so, to know that he was a photographer for Life Magazine. I didn't have much of an opportunity to talk to him, but I did get to say nHe1loN and I heard some people say that he was really good. November Q On my way back to Donovan today I discovered that Mildred Cline was in Fort Wayne, Indiana, running a small hat shop CI often wondered where those things came from.l But I d1dn't get to see her because she was on her vacation. November Q Before returning to Donovan, I decided to go to Golcadon- gak, Illinois. I spent the night there and for entertain- ment I went to hear a famous orchestra by the name of nAny Ole Prairie Will Don. I was very surprised to see that Joe Lamie was the leader and a girl by the name of Umuffien the pianist. ' November lg On returning to Donovan I found out that one of the '45 grads was running the Echo. Much to my bewilderment, it was Tootie Johnson. She had always helped her sister ped- dle papers, so she decided to print one. One of the an- nouncements in it was that Doris Winroth and Byron Nouriq were recently married and would live on a farm northeast oftmn. November ll Today I discovered that Wanda Wade had returned to Watseka so I decided to visit her. We talked and she said she had a fine position of teaching Commercial subjects 1nlNatseka High. She has taken her position with outstanding rec- ommendation. ' The class of '45 is doing very well for itself, isn't it?

SGP!-XOMQXQES In the fall of 1941, twenty-seven Freshmen enlisted for training at D. T. H. S. The commanding officers were Pilot Gordon Sewers and Co-Pilot Ezra Allie. Shirley Lob- law and David Anderson kept the flight records. Miss Nel- son chose to be Flight Commander of our squadron. We attended several parties. Among these were the initiation, Halloween, and farewell parties. We also par- ticipated in several activities. David -Anderson was se- lected as a cheer leader for the basketball season. Two of our crew members, Lucille Thomas and Lowell Easter, were transferred. They were soon replaced by Obert H11- gcndorf and O1iver'Weod. Twenty-three Sophomores were enrolled this year. Mary Houghton was in command, assisted by Coy Center. Pa- tricia McCarty kept the flight records. Miss Bryan was Flight Commander. Five of the crew members were transferred to other stations. They were: David Anderson, Leona Sheppardg John White, Earl LeSage, and Adam Thomas. Thirteen of the members were in the Band. Ezra Allie and Obert Hilgondorf received commissions in the form of basketball letters. We participated in other activities such es: G.A.A., F. F. A., H1-Tri, Student Council, and HemeEc. Club. Due to rationing we gave only one party for the Soph- omores and their guests. It was given in the Band Room in Merch. After playing Battleship and some folk games, ro- freshments were served in the Home Ec. Room. This was followed by dancing. Everyone seemed to have a grand time We hope to bc as successful in the remaining two years of school as thc previous classes have been. O FREE!-XMEN In the fall of '45, thirty-three Freshmen boarded the great bomber for the long flight to their objective. As the class journeyed on, six members of the crew left for other stations. They were Robert Brandenburg, Sylvanis Lareau, Leland Lambert, Francis Simmins, Harry White, and Maxine Boyce, however, at the end of the first hop, Lomer Laney and Norma Wade joined our company of re- crults. Those in command of flight number one were Sylvia Kompen, Presidentg Lois Johnson, Vice-President, Ralph Buswell, Secretary-Treasurerg and Miss Ricketts, class sponsor. At the start of the first hop, Freshmen Initiation was held. The freshmen came to school all dressed up. The girls wore nightgowns, rubber boots, sun glasses, had thelr hair in pigtails, and carried umbrellasg the boys wore girls' slips, high-heeled shoes, hair bows, and cos- tume jewelry. In the afternoon, the whole Company, except the Freshmen Squadron, had an exciting time as the Fresh- men were lead all over town and then initiated properly with flour and black shoe polish. Three of our Freshmen cadets were elected cheer lead- ors to lead our-boys on to Victory. They were Cadets Syl- vla-Kempen, Marjorie Peterson, and Marilyn Johnson. The Freshmen girls also sponsored 'a Hi-Trl St. Pat- r1ck's Day Party for all the girls in school. On April 25, all of the Freshmen Squadron held a class party at the end of the second hop. The cadets then returned to their base to await call for their next mission. - -.' 1 f XWANEUVERS ,RSL V ' f if Sz, Qifiiilh-1 f X152 X J- K w' ' QX 1:-J A 1 -Q U lf Q hm ' l ' ' ' Ln ,, su i 4 J MUSIC The band has been flying around full speed this year. We have a new commander a1d lots of new music. These are two of the things which are very valuable to a good band. Although we lost many members last year, we acquired many new cadets this year from Iroquois and the Grade School. During the summer months we kept up the morale of the folks here at home by playing down town on Saturday nights. Before the opening of school we were invited to play afternoon and evening concerts at Iroquois on July 4 and 5. We played many patriotic numbers. We opened the school year with Betty Houghton, Presi- dent, and Helen Laffoen, Librarian. On September 13, 1942, the band made a trip to Kankakee to play for a Republican Rallye On October 8, our commazder, Mr. Sandeen, came in with a notice saying there was a big Bond and Stamp Drive being held near our camp. We were anxious to cooperate in such a worthwhile cause so we hurried over to Watseka and marched in the Victory Day Parade. We decided it was time to settle down for a while and get in some real practice so we started practicing for a Victory Concert to be held in our own gymnasium. The con- cert was held on November 24 and was composed of several marches and specialties. Some of the numbers played were: Uwe Must Be Vigilant,U by Meachamg NHands Across the Sea,U and ULiberty Bell,n by Sousa. The Girls' Glee Club and saxophone and clarinet quartets were special features of the program. After the concert, two men from Watseka Spoke on nThe Need of Buying War Bonds and Stamps.U Immediately follow- ing these speakers, a play, uBoss Vs. Socretaryn was given under the direction of Miss Bryan and her assistant, Kathryne Glad. The parts were well played by students cf com ercial classes. The cast was as follows: Wyona Nourie, Miss Meigs, a secretary, Charles Sykes, Jim y, office boyg Dolores LaFond, Mabel, an order clerk, George Bard, Mr. Blaine, boss of small business concern, Anita Kempen, Miss Wilson, new secretary. Later in the yean two cadets Helen Laffoon and Betty Houghton, wrote a Christmas pageant and it was presentmdtn- der the direction of Mr. Moore and Mr. Sandeen on Decem- ber 22, 1942. The main characters were as follows: Mary Houghton, Mary, Wayne LaFond, Joseph: Richard Johnson, Don- ald Finch, George Bard, Wisemeng William Johnson, Kenneth Tunks, George Morrison, Shepherds. The angels were a chorus of eight girls dressed in white. They were: Lil- lian Anderson, Doris Winroth, Estella Lowe, Hazel Smith, Marian Ehrhardt, Dolores LaFond, Dorothy Finch, and Helen Laffoon. Betty Houghton served as narrata'. The cadets, always anxious to show their patriotism, planned a Patriotic Concert and along with it they planned the dedication of the Service Fl g. This flag was dedi- cated to the boys who have graduated from Donovan High School and are now in one of the branches of the service. The Band Program was started by Richard Johnson play- ing nTo The Colorsn.as Francis and Catherine Askew carried in the American Flag. The band then played the nD.T H.S. Cheer Songn and William Johnson and Kenneth Tunks, dress- ed in Black and Gold, carried in the School Flag. Slides showing the history of the American Flag were shown and the music was selected according to the histori- cal background of the flag. Dorothy Finch read a summary of the history of America and the development of the flag as the different concert, numbers were played and during the presentation of the slides. Two marches from George Washington's time were played along with other historical numbers. nOver Theron and nStars and Stripesn were played for the closing numbers with Wyona Nourie, Marian Ehrhardt, Hazel Smith, and Vivhma Changnon twirling their batons. On April 50, we were up for inspection. We had our contest on this date. For the judge's inspection, we played nMarch of Youth,n and nRoyal Fireworksn. Solos were given as follows: Vocal solo, Dorothy Finch, accom- panist, Kathryne Glad: Saxophone quartet, Kathryne Glad, Marjorie Peterson, Phyllis Easter, and Mary HoughtongF1ute solo, Patricia McCarty, accompanist, Helen Elliott, Girls' Trio, Doris Winroth, Lillian Anderson, and Dorothy Finch: Clarinet solo, Shirley Loblaw, accompanist, Marjorie Peter- SOD.

Next year we have some good prospects from the Grade School. They are Marjorie Albright, Lucille Swanson, Leon Houghton, and Laverne Changnon. We wish the band success in the future. A We want to thank the Band Mothers for their help this year in purchasing a new E-Flat Clarinet and sponsoring an enjoyable school party. BAND FIRST ROW: S. Loblaw, C. Centers, L. Webster, H.

Later in the fall we decided that we had been entire- ly too long without a school flag. So, we held a contest for anybody that wanted to sketch a flag. Eunice Pat- naude's flag was chosen. The flag was quickly made and we are now properly represented by the good old black and gold at the head of our band. When nturkey-timeu came around, wc sponsored a Thanks giving box-social and dance. On Thursday nights we have motion-pictures, with a dance following. Now we are trying iremember I said trying! to set up a social center that will carry through the summer. With gas and tires the way they are we have to have fun close to home.

As with baseball, we were unable to use the school buses. It was decided, however, to cancel all scheduled games and then play when and where we were able to do so. Eldon Marquis, now training for Naval Aviation, was to be our coach. We lost nFerdn to the Navy shortly after the Christmas holidays. Our original coach, Mr. Vance, had gone to Imlay City, Michigan, for a better job earlier in the year. We started basketball with Mr. Vance as coach in intramural games, carried on into four games of the season with F'erd , and finished up with Mr. Moore our principal, on the sidelines. The team showed up well in the County Tournament de- feating Danforth in the first game of the tournament by a score of 40 to 15. Anderson was high scorer with 16 points and Tunks got 10. The next game against Chebanse was a very good game. Chebanse had defeated us before and beat us afterward but lost to us 37 to 51 in tournament play. Donovan never drew ahead more than six points throughout the game, and often had less to spare. In the third game, Onarga defeated us 51 to 24. Due to the fact that we play ed an extra game, we won two but still didn't reach the semi-finals. The tournament was held in Milford. Not much can be said of next year, but if there is still such a thing as interscholastic-sports competition, Andy, Ez, Buzz, Keath, Hilgendorf, and LeSage will be on deck. The District tournament held in Crescent City engaged us only one game. Ash-Clif beat us 50 to 58. They seemed to be our Jinx. They won a total of three games from us during the year.

INTRAMURAL Just before Mr. Vance left us, when we thought we would have no basketball, a program of calisthentics and intramural sports was developed. Five boys teams played a series of basketball games against each other in connec- tion with volley-ball and exercises. The program was sidetracked when basketball returned to us. Tennis, this year, was engaged in by a considerable number 0? students. As this is written the courts are ready for spring tennis and are in very good shape. Some of the boys have been practicing track this spring---high jumps, broad jumps, running, and hurdles. Kenneth Tunk's main ability in the track line is high jump and pole vault, Richard Johnson, high jump, running, Irol Buswell, hurdles, running, Roy Keeth, running: Obert Hil- gondorf, hurdles, running: Dale Anderson, high jump, hurdles, broad jump. , G. AA G. A. A. CGirls Athletics Associationb is a national Organization. Our club was organized in 1942. The pur- pose of G. A. A. is to stimulate interest in girls athlet- ics and gymnastics and to standardize and promote ideas of health and sportsmanship. To become a member of G. A.'AJ a girl must earn 100 points by participating in class and outside athletioal activities. For 50 points a girl is entitled to a G. A. A. pin which is made in the shape of the state of Illinois with a blue and white background. The awards are also based on a point system. The first local award is given for 600 points, second local award is given for 1200 points, league award 1600 points, and the state award for 2000 points. The girls take a course of Hygiene and keep health rules for eight weeks and attend gym class. We organized two G. A. A. basketball teams on a point basis and sche- duled games during the noon hours for eight weeks. We had monthly meetings during this school year. Some of the ac- tivitles that the members participated in during the year for outside points were: bicycling, bowling, ice and.rol1- er skating, walking, horse back riding, and tennis. Those who earned 100 points for membership this year were: Marilyn Johnson, Marjorie Peterson, Anita Kempen, Sylvia Kempen, Florence Finch, Helen Baker, Dolores La- fond, Phyllis Easter, Dolores Ehrhardt, Patricia Dulin, and Shirley Loblaw. The officers for this yoar were: Frances Whaley, President, Wilma Arsenoau, Vice President, Vivian Chang- non, Secretary Treasurer. The charter members were: Marian Anderson, Wilma Arseneau, Vera Carlson, Vivian Changnon, Helen Elliott, Betty Houghton, Mary Houghton, Florene Johnson, Barbara Laffoon, Wyona Nourie, and Fran- ces Whaley. We hope that this association will become more vital and more prosperous throughout the coming year. BASEBALL .The season this year was rather limited due to fact that we were unable to use the school buses for transpor tation. The scores of our games follow: Sheldon 5 Wellington 4 Crescent 6 Sheldon 4 Crescent 8 Donovan O ' 0 2 il 1 il O I! O Probably the greatest difficulty was due to a lack of heavy hitters and experienced infielders. Andy and Brandenburg did the pitching with Lamie behind the plate Coach Vance got the boys out for practice whenever possible September 16, a dreary Wednesday, we learned that in terscholastic sports were to be reduced to a minimum. A it turned out, this was not as bad as at first supposed Several cars were enlisted and we played anyway.

In the late fall, an intramural basketball tournament was sponsored in which four teams participated. The cap- tains were all letter men: Wilbur Bauer, Donald Finch,Joe Lwnic, and Kenneth Tunks, a letter man from Martinton. Wilbur Bauor's team was the champion of the tournament, winning all the games played. The regular players of his team were: George Morrison, Roy Keath, Bill Johnson, Floyd Harris, and Irol Buswell. On March 24, the members of the NDN Club and their guests enjoyed a Wiener roast in Donovan's pasture. After satisfying their sportsmen appetites with wieners, marsh- mallows, apples, cookies, etc., the boys played soft ball. Climbing windmills and jumping logs seemed to be the recre- ation of the girls. Letters were given to the following boys at a spe- cial assembly at the close of the basketball season: Joe Lamieg Wilbur Bauer, Donald Finch, Manager, Ezra Allie, Kenneth Tunksg Dale'Andersong Obert Hilgendorfg Roy Keathg Leonard LeSage5 George Morrison, Charles Clawsong Irol Bus- wellg Richard Johnson, George Bard, Bill Johnson, amd Er- win Andrews. Cheer-loader letters were also presented to the three faithful freshmen girls: Marilyn Johnson, Har- jorie Peterson, and Sylvie Kempen. 4 I 4 OFFICERS President Robert Pufahl Vice-President Conrad Arseneau Secretary Obert Hilgendorf Treasurer Ezra Allie- Reporter Ralph Buswell Watch Log Paul Frye Advisor Mr. Trummel The F.

ACTIVITIES OF THE CHAPTER The Donovan Chapter was started February, 1943. All of the officers were elected by the members. Activities of our chapter so far have been about the study of how to test soil, how to test milk and cream, how to feed and take care of dairy and beef cattle and hogs, and the characteristics of each type of cattle. The mem- bers have gone on several field trips to see different types of cattle and the projects of the F. F. A. members. The motto of every Future Farmer of America is: .
