HtCTLCU, Out C i'at — — The Future Farmers of America is an organization of farm boys taking agriculture in high school. The activities of the club supplement the work taken in the classroom and gives the members considerable freedom in carrying through special interests into project work; such as, dairy herd testing, sow testing, and a variety of individual projects in hog, beef, sheep, and poultry raising. This project work is in keeping with Uncle Sam’s desire that we increase production for America and our fighting forces. Last fall, the club took part in the national scrap iron drive which was a complete financial success. With part of the proceeds, the F.F.A. purchased a $100 War Bond and presented it to the school to be used after the war in defraying the cost of lighting facilities for our athletic field. 1 he club has had three advisers this year; Lloyd H. Peterson who became a marine on January 1st. Walter T. Bjoraker who was called into service in the air corps in February, and Warren R.Anderson whom we are glad to have kept up to this time. 4-H Club Left to Right, First Row: E. McKay, D. Elton, N.

HL Uuu oJh i pro vc Out Jit etatiy eJuU te d - - The Conroy Girls’ Club is an active organization of twenty-five girls carrying out its program as a junior member of the Federated Women’s Clubs of America. The club has met the first and third Mondays of each month under the advisership of Miss Engen who succeeded Miss Truwe upon her marriage in February. Most of our meetings have been held in the home of the various members and upon occasion in the school. The club has had a regular program for the year with timely current and literary topics discussed by club members. The club has made purchases of books for the school library, encouraged better leisure reading, and prepared several Christmas baskets for needy families. Each year, the senior members are presented with a gold pin. Many of the club members attended the Girls’ Club Convention in Rochester last fall where many fine inspirational talks were heard. The club’s motto for the year has been “The Vision of Yesterday is the Goal for Today and the Starting Point for Tomorrow.” the officers check library books • 27 •

Olson. va 1e' n ut 1 Uat fZesy The Boy Scouts has been an enterprising group in the school under the leadership of Principal Bertil M. Johnson who relinquished the scoutmastership this winter and was succeeded by William McGee. The scouts have been limited somewhat in their advancement because of the inability of the 2nd class scouts to pass their swimming test. In view of the fact that there are no nearby lakes or rivers for the scouts to learn swimming, it has been necessary to travel fifty miles to Rochester to use the pool there. With gas rationing, this made it impossible for the boys to complete their final first class requirements of swimming. Last year, the scouts made regular salvage trips to pick up scrap paper and, this year, carried through a very successful scrap iron drive netting the scout treasury a very neat sum of money. At the time the district band festival was held here on Sunday, May 17, 1942, the scouts presented the school with a beautiful silk flag for the auditorium. They also bought the school a $40 spotlight for stage lighting and with part of their healthy balance purchased two $100 War Bonds to be set aside until after the war for lighting facilities for the high school athletic field. The scouts have also carried out other miscellaneous war duties whenever called upon. The scouts are deeply appreciative of the fine leadership provided by Mr. Johnson during the past two and one-half years and are equally appreciative of Mr. McGee’s willingness to carry on as our scoutmaster. DISTRICT CHAMPS! Declamation =l Ue =l Uon .-Bbisttut (Contest For the second year in a row, Harmony won out in every division that they entered in the district speech contest. The winners this year were Bruce Harstad in memorized oratory, George H illesland in original oratory, Elean-ore Dennstedt in interpretative memorized reading, and Charlyne Quammen in interpretative manuscript reading. These four went to the regional contest where several received superior ratings from at least one of the three judges. Speech work has had renewed interest in our school these past few years and we hope that this interest will continue to grow. Having critic judges for our local contests has given every entry some worthwhile suggestions for improvement in speech. Everyone profited greatly! We appreciate also the efforts of Miss Engcn, Miss Solheim, and Mr. Johnson who coached all students this year who entered the speech contest. • 29 •
