FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA This year in FFA we had fifty two members. Our officers Were: President, Harold Necessary, Vice-president, Edward Elderg Secretary, Bill Fahle, Treasurer, Tom Cotner, Sentinal, Junior Coone, and Reporter, Bob Girdler. In September the Ag. boys took a tour of the Funk Farms where we saw many test plots of corn and soybeansg had a free lunch at noong and enjoyed a tour through the seed corn processing plant in the afternoon. Also in September the FFA officers attended the Sectional FFA Officers Training School held at Lexington. September 10-11, fourteen boys exhibited their projects at the Sec.- tional FFA Fair at Elpaso. Total amount of premiums received by the boys was 310551. , December 2-3, twenty-six boys, Mr. Pearce, Mr. Dagley, Mr. Sutter, and Mr. Moberly went to the International Livestock Show in Chicago. Some of' the places of interest visited were: Board of Trade, Tribune Building, Swifts Packing Plant, International Livestock Show, Tour of the Palmer House Hotel, WLS Barn Dance, and the Breakfast Club. Just before Christmas the FFA finished pay- ment on the popcorn machine they purchased a year ago. On February 7 a donkey ball game prov-ed highly entertaining to the public and reasonably profitable to the FFA, with a total of about 550 people attending. February 9 the Senior Ag. stu.dents attended the Farm and Home Program at the U. of I. in Urbana. The annual pest killing contest was held through January and February on the basis that each class made up a team, the losing team having a party for the winners. All members are keeping individual records on the point sheet and awards will be made at the end of the year based. on high point scores, The awards are three FFA rings and three souvenir billfolds. The high point senior members will receive the DeKalb award. Some of the money-making projects Were: selling rat bait, Christmas cards, greeting cards, garden seed, FFA marker and emblems, popcorn at all ball games, and sponsoring the donkey ball game. Most members now own official FEA jackets. We feel that we have had a very interesting and profitable yearj Top Picture: Seated: Tom Cotner, Treas.g Harold Necessary, Pres. 5 Edward Elder, Vice-Pres., William Fahle, Sec.

FRESHMAN CLAISS HISTORY The fall of 1949 saw 40 freshmen enter H. H. S. Naturally we were as green as ever and naturally we dreaded the initiation. But it really wasn't so bad and afterwards We were finally full-pledged high-schoolers. One of the first things we did was to elect our officers. A class meeting was held at which time the following were elected as fresmen officers: Pete Krueger, presidentg Ralph Smith, vice-presidtntg James Golden, secretaryg and Marcia, Cole, treasurer, Our sponsors were Mrs. Feicke and Mr. Benedict. When Pete moved away, another meeting was held and Bobby Geske was chosen as president. Pat Smith was chosen as the Freshman attendant to the Homecoming Queen and Marcia Cole was voted to be the F. H. A. Queen at the FHA-FEA Carnival, The freshmen assembly was the third one given and we presented two panta- mines in which most of the freshmen participated. Everyone had a good time doing the program and it turned ou.t to be very funny and entertaining. ,As the spring of '50 comes to 9, close we review many happy days and look forward to the more interesting years ahead.
