One of the most outstanding organizations in school this year was the F.H.A., as is shown clearly by the many projects sponsored by it. The first event of the fall was the Farmers' Institute. Our club entered a corn.exhibit and won second prize. At Christmas time the club went caroling through the streets of Lake Zurich and met at the school afterward for refresh ents. Dinners were served at noon for the students several times during the winter. In March a talent show was given for the students, who all helped make the program a success. About the biggest event was the bazaar held in April. The highlight of May was the spring style show, at which the girls modeled their clothes and exhibited their food pro- jects. All in all, this has been one of the most successful venrs For E1a'S F-H.A.

The Student Council this year, as last, was chosen by the student body for the purpose of imoroving the school. It consists of eight students - a boy and a girl from each class. This year the group was under the guidance of Miss Jacquat. At the first meeting the election of officers was held, The results were: president, wayne Sandmang vice-president, Jean Hardenberghg secretary-treasurer, Marilyn Richardson. The annual open house was the council's first project. It was held in the evening early in the year, and began with a program which was followed by room visitation and refresh- ments. Other work of the council consisted of a Sadie Haw- kins party, dances after basketball games, and the Christmas decorations throughout the school during the Christmas season The biggest project of all was the cadet system, begun during the second semester. Cadets were placed in the halls every hour to check students' passes, and to cut down unnec- essary waste of time. Since this was only the council's second year, the path was found to be still a little rugged, but the members and most of the students feel that the Student Council is a worth while organization, and would like to see it continue.

The Ela High branch of the Future Farmers of America consisted last year of twenty-one members. At the first meet- ing officers were elected as follows: Wayne Sandman, presi- dentg Bob Ladd, vice-presidentg Harvey Pankonin, secretary, and Paul Cbenauf, watch dog. The advisor for the group was Mr. Allen. The F.F.A. was one of the most active organizations in school. In October the boys sponsored an all-school hay ride party, and several ill-fated toboggan parties were held dur- ing the winter. The organization raised some money by sell- ing chances on a turkey, which was raffled off at a basket- ball game shortly before Christmas. In December the members of the F.F.A. made a trip to the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago, and dur- ing the year the boys went on several project tours. Last summer the F.F.A. boys won many prizes at county fairs, and they hope to do as well next summer.
