The Hartian in the District Contest and fourth in the Regional Contest. The Parlimentary Procedure and Demonstration teams won second in the District Contest. The F. F. A. are planning on raising 500 pheasants in cooperation with the Conservation Club. They also are acquiring eighty acres of land from the state in section 9, Weare Township and will plant 10,000 red pines the second week in April. The boys with the help of Mr. Tate have equipped a shop in which they repair and recondition farm implements belonging to their parents. Plans are under way to purchase a spray rig to be used by the boys in spraying trees and shrubs belonging to the residents of Hart. The boys have made extensive plans and the coming months should show many improvements both in the classroom, shop, and on the respective farms. HART F. F. A. FAIR The Hart F. F. A. exhibit and rural school fair held November 13, 1945, drew a large attendance. The Fair, planned by the Hart F. F. A. boys began with a tractor pulling contest at the John Gurney Park. There were three classes of tractors and the winners were: John Riley, in the large plow class, pulling a load of 5,700 pounds a distance of 21' feet; George Lindgren in second class, pulling a load of 5,100 pounds a distance of 27 l t feet; and Jack Lohman taking third class honors by pulling 3,900 pounds 5 feet and 11 inches. Six schools in the county had exhibits of farm products with St. Joseph of Weare winning first place. Garver School, second, and Sackrider School, third. The evenings entertainment included a program by the F. F. A. boys, movies by John Deere and International Companies, contests, and as a climax, the crowning of the King and Queen of the Fair. These places were won by Betty Trommater, Freshman, and Vincent Weber, Sophomore. The residents of Oceana county can look forward to many more fairs as the boys plan on making it an annual event.

The Hartian CARNIVAL OF '46 The Hart School Carnival of '46 was a popular success. The main show and side shows together made a very agreeable evening of entertainment. The main show, called Deep South Minstrel,” was under the direction of Mr. Tate and Mr. Schestag. The F. F. A. boys and a few business men participated in it. Donald Wood, master of ceremonies, kept the show going and together with a few excellent musical numbers made a good production. Virginia Curtis and Donald Hansen reigned over the Carnival this year. In the queens court were: Beverley Smith, Marian Purdy, Marleen Simons, Gerry Glover, Marjorie Flint, and Madelyn Van Bergen. The side shows were all decided improvements over last year, having had more practice and better plots. The Senior's presented Railroad Rhythm in the study hall which was a hilarious success with pie-throwing the climax. 1 he Junior’s side show was called Solid-Side Inn and presented a contrast between a coke joint in '26 and '46. The costumes of the earlier period and the jive talk of the later period together made an amusing and very successful show. The Sophomores were a little different in their production as the entire show was in pantomime. It was very well enacted and The Lamp Went Out was enthusiastically received. The Freshman show, Roamin' Romeo, was very popular and had a large attendance. Reginald Madison, one of the main attractions, did a song and dance number that was very clever. Reginald was applauded back several times. The puppet show, Sweethearts, was put on by the Latin Classes under the direction of Mrs. Burdick. It was the first we have had at the carnival for a long time, and was enjoyed by all. The students showed great skill in handling the puppets. Each of the lower grades put on a show also. These went off good and were well liked. The bingo game and games of chance finished off the entertainment and the Eat Shop in the basement was constantly jammed both evenings by the crowds of hungry people.
