Elliott. • 20 • On September 15, 1942, a group of enthusiastic girls assembled to begin another year of activity for the Conroy Girls’ Club, an organization that is affiliated with the Women’s Club of America. The girls meet on the first and third Mondays of each month either at the home of one of the members or at the school house. The main objectives of the Club are to buy new books for the library and to encourage more reading. Other annual activities are the preparing of Christmas baskets and the serving of a tea for the Club mothers. The girls find the Club delightfully entertaining as well as educationally helpful. Each member must help serve once a year and she must contribute at least one number to one of the programs. During these evening sessions games are played, songs are sung, and most anything else will enter into the activities of chattering girls. This year, the girls attended the Girls’ Club Convention at Albert Lea. A fine time was had by all during this meeting. Trips such as this one are financed by money earned in Club activities. A food sale, monthly dues, and donations are means of securing the needed money. It has been a nice year of club activity and Miss Truwe, the new Advisor, has helped make this year pleasarft and successful. It is interesting to note that the Club motto is the “Vision of yesterday is the goal for today and the starting point for tomorrow”. How different this world might be if only yesterday we had realized the course of world events and had in a constructive way endeavored to meet them. Officers and Advisor INITIATION This year five new members were accepted by the Club. At the initiation different contests were held such as balloon blowing, cracker eating, and gum chewing. The winners were Karen Elliott and Miss Truwe. Some of the girls sang, danced, and others gave imitations. All new members had to give written and oral book reports as part of their initiation assignment. Get set, Karen.

Judging Contest the Harmony General Livestock Team won first place, receiving the rotating trophy. In the individual competition the highest score was achieved by Raymond Sharp, who was awarded the championship. Congratulations, F.F.A., for a job well done and for adding prominence to our Ag Department’s success. Continuing this fine record that was established last summer, the Crops Team placed second at the Waseca Contest to win a trip to the state contest. All of the ribbons and the trophies that have been awarded to the Harmony Chapter indicate a realization of objectives in Ag that are very practical in these times when food is very important in world activities. During the meetings, the boys have enjoyed the friendship of an advisor who has done a swell job. As the club won awards he carved for himself a higher position in.the Agricultural field. It is indeed writh regrets that we must say “so long” to Mr. Simon, but it is with best wishes for his success and happiness that we conclude our school-time association. We will try to express our appreciation for the fine job that he has done in starting Harmony’s Ag Department, in being a source of precious information on farming, and in being a pleasant friend and teacher. Championship team.
