During the summer, the boys continued the program by caring for their projects which included purebred and market hogs, dairy and beef cattle, sheep, and crops. Most of the projects were exhibited at the Humboldt County Fair, and a few of the boys showed at the Iowa State Fair this year for the first time. The Humboldt chapter started some chapter gilts this year and loaned them out to members on shares. Other activities included a Parent's Night, a field trip to Des Moines, and sending delegates to the state convention. The money-making activities included selling popcorn at basketball and football games, magazine sales, and an advertising calendar. The F.F.A. advisor is Mr. Petras.

Although the staff aimed at complete cover- age, it was limited in its layout. ltsacrificed page make-up for space to include news of all grades in the school system. News stories were prepared by members of the senior grammar class, under the directions of Mrs. Smith. News was collected and written on Thursdays, and the senior typing class pre- pared the final copy for the Friday afternoon deadline. The fourth period sophomore English class undertook the job of collecting and pre- paring the news during the second semester. The news appeared in each Tuesday's edition of the Humboldt Independent.

A sign soon hung on door, Keep Out--People at Work, and once again a yearbook got under way. Photographers were everywhere, recording events as they happened, while the editors were kept busymeeting deadlines. The business man- ager and his assistants kept the salesmen on the job, constantly advertising and selling the year- book. After much deliberation and an all-school vote v it was decided to change the delivery date of the Nokomis to the opening day of school in the D. Baugenstos, M. GICQSISCH, T. HOYCY, fall. The one big advantage was that the yearbook G' Wilcox' D' Kuehnast' D' Gord' M' Nelson, and R, Strachan represent the would then be able to cover an entire year's Nokomissaksmenl events.
