Willard (President). STANDING: Mr. Feigerle, Student Council As the main project this year, the student council sponsored a drive to raise money to pay for the evergreens which we purchased early in the fall of the year. The boys of the agricultural classes planted the trees around the schoolhouse and yard. The trees added much to the appearance of the schoolhouse and yard. In December, during the Christmas vacation, we sponsored the Homecoming Dance for which we decorated the Gym. The student council is made up of two members from each class in high school. The class from which the president is elected is entitled to elect an additional member. F.F.A. boys plant shrubs purchased by Student Council. 19

Future Homemakers of America The F uture Homemakers of America is dedicated to the ideal of preparing girls for the roll of homemaker, wife, and mother. This is done on every level. Our membership this year was fifty girls. We have done many things in both social activities and money- making activities. The main project this year was supporting a four-year old French girl, Rita LeBlanc. We gave two homemaking awards this year. The Betty Crocker Homemaker Award was given to Carol Stephenson. The Crisco Award, given for the first time this year, was awarded to Melva Ree Willard. Several activities this year were: the Rally, held at West Pike, the Sweetheart Ball, Square Dances, Initiation, Installation of Officers, and a trip to Chicago with the G. A. A. Our main money-making projects this year included a Variety Show in March, selling Christmas wrappings and tape, and selling salt and pepper shakers.
