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.

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.

In the fall part of the club treasury was Spent for stage furniture for the senior play. The money had accumulated through pro- fits from concession rights in the school. As there were only three members left from last year, the club was rather delayed in starting. It was not offic- ially organized until shortly before the end of the first semester. Jean Hardenbergh was elected president, with Sue Schweda as vice-president, Joan Kasten as secretary, and Harvey Pankonin as treasurer. The production of a three-act play, WA little Honey,H early in May ended the c1ub's successful year.
