FUTURE FARMERS OE AMERICA The Future Farmers of America, or F.F.A.,' as it is commonly known, is the national organi- zation of, by and for boys studying Vocational Agriculture in public secondary schools under the provisions of the National Vocational Edu- cation acts. The Future Farmers of America is a non- profit, non-political farm youth organization of voluntary membership, designed to take its place with other agencies striving for the development of leadership, the building of a more permanent agriculture, and the improvement of country life. It constitutes one of the most efficient agriculture teaching devices that has been dis- covered up to the present time. The F.F.A. is 10012 American in its ideals and outlooks and has no outside affiliations. There is no secrecy in connection with any of its activities. The F.F.A. is composed of chartered state associations which, in turn, are made up of local chapters situated in high schools having depart- ments of Vocational Agriculture. The boys enrolled in such courses constitute its active membership, but provision is also made for associate and honorary memberships. Membership is Entirely Voluntary In the Joliet chapter of the Future Farmers of America there are twenty bonafide farm boys enrolled in Vocational Agriculture. Under the instructorship of Mr. G. K. Grose the boys have about 53,000 invested in voca- tional agriculture projects. These projects con- sist of beef, swine, dairy, crop, sheep, and flora- cultural enterprises.

THE FRENCH CLUB The French Club meets twice a month after school in Room 231 under the sponsorship of Miss M. L. Ryans. It is used as a practical laboratory for the speaking of a beautiful lan- guage, namely, French. All the meetings are conducted wholly in French, French songs are sung and French games are playecl. All students who have passed one semester of French are invited to come to the meetings. The students in first semester French have their own meetings so they can learn how to conduct a meeting in French. Besides having a good time we learn a great deal about French life, customs, and literature. I n fq ff' -xg X -iii, if -LJ1 lx ' MK. , Nuff ' -rrp r' i-1
