P, 7. . Q., I , FL i .4 rs 'resenting past PreSid6l1IS' PiIlS- Installing officers. All six P.T.A. presidents The year 1953-1954 found the local P.T.A. unit nearly doubling its membership over the previous yearg 120 members were enrolled. This increase, along with additional study group activities, has quali- fied the unit for a Standard rating given by the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. This is the first rating of this kind ever attained by the Froid P.T.A. The year's activities began with the summer roundup of physical examinations for the first grade students and inoculations for all of the other school children. Fourteen examinations were given and 123 shots administered with the cost being paid by the P.T.A. The annual teachers' reception held in September was again sponsored by the P.T.A. . with a large gathering assembled to welcr 'ne the new teachers. The October meeting v--- .ghlighted by a playlet on Fire Prevention' given by the freshman English class under the dire-, 4 of Miss Osta Madsen, At this meeting, plans were made for the school carnival, where the P.T.A. again sold lunch, bringing in 5276.65 to the unit's treaslny. In November, Mr, I ames Crawford, Superintendent of the Poplar Indian Agency was one of the guest speakers, as was Mr. James Long of Poplar, author of the book, 'Land of Nakoda. They gave us a very interesting talk on Indian life and customs. A forum. 'The True Purpose of Christmas in the Home, was presented In December with Reverend Mark Emswiler and Reverend Van Vactor on the panel. Mrs. Lorraine Coe gave a lecture with interesting colored slide pictures on Montana and the great Northwest at the January meeting. We celebrated Founder 's Day at our February meeting with Mrs. E. Christoffersen as chairman of the program. Superintendent Anderson and Mr. Goodwin Bergh, Chairman of the school board, presented the March program: it was entitled, Legislation as It Affects the School. In April, Mrs. Irving Hoye gave us a review of outstanding P.T.A. magazine articles, and then the unit elected new officers for the coming year. Mr. G.N. Anderson was elected vice president and Mrs. Svend Bertelsen was elected the secretary. The officers were installed at the May meeting by Mrs. Irving Hoye, P.T.A. district president. At this meeting the past presidents of the Froid P.T.A. were honored with a special program. Richard Solga reviewed all of the accomplishments that have been made by the P.T.A. during the past. Mrs. Burton Ostby, vice president, then presented Past-President pins to Mrs. Merle Johnson, Mrs. Eugene Knick, Mrs. Irving Hoye, Mrs. Oscar Svendsen and Mrs. Goodwin Bergh. The hot lunch program, under the sponsorship of the P.T.A. was the most active of our projects. Hundreds of jars of preserves were put up and chickens and other food stuffs were donated. The P.T.A. renewed the charter of the Boy Scouts which is another unit project. Study groups brought in during the year were the local water supply, and the school curriculum.

Un d6?dft0t ' ' The class resumed, January 1. 1953, with Fay Crusch as instructor after having been without an instructor for four months. The class resumed with sixteen students including: Irving Hoye, Floyd Mar- tini. Vern Guenther, Warren Christoffersen, Harold Christoffersen, Melvin Peterson, Harry Sorensen, John Wivholm, George Waters, Alvin Erdahl, Hubert Thorne, Fred Granbois, Clarence Bakken, Einas Johmon, Menon Purvis, and Douglas Sorensen. Since January 1, 1954, we have added two new mem- bers into the class: they are Peder Siggaard and Christian Rasmussen. During this time only six class members have completed their trainingg they are as follows: Fred Granbois, Alvin Erdahl, Hubert Thorne Einar Johnson, Merton Purvis and Douglas Sorensen. During the past sixteen months we have had classes, which included among other things, credit qincluding PCA and Fl-IAQ, several on selection and seed varieties, wheat, beevil control, moisture content, protein content, storage and rust, development of hybrid corn, machine care and operation, range management, and the many phases of conservation farm ing. Field trips included a visit to the Gordon Lund ranch, Wolf Point, and the Fay Crusch ranch, Bain- ville, Soil Conservation Day at the Moen farm, the Sidney Locker Plant, Sidney Sales Ring, a purebred cattle dispersion sale, and we heard two of the outstanding speakers of the nation, Tom Kelly and T- Bone McDonald. Both in March, 1953 and 1954, a week of shop work was held at the Vo-Ag Shop here in Froid. Special repair and overhaul jobs were done for each class member. A special project in 1954 was the building of a calf table. During these sixteen months more than twenty outside teachers and instructors have met with this farm training class. Attendance for this class has been very good, due to the factors of having had an excellent instructor and several interesting educational movies and lectures.
