Girl Reserves THE GIRLS RESERVE was organized in December following a visit by Mrs. Mary Doolittle, state YWCA secretary, who explained it's principles and standards, and helped to boost it to a fine start. It was backed by an adult counsel of local women with Mrs. Walter Slaughter, advisor, and Mrs. Robert Denton, assistant. The organization was active in school and social affairs and it is hoped it will continue to grow in number and activity in the coming years. THE GR is a junior branch of the YWCA, for girls of high school age. It's goals are to teach young girls the principles and characteristics which materialize into pure womanhood. It's symbol, the triangle, stands for the three main goals-perfecting the mind, spirit, and body. It extends it's teachings throughout the world and has proven to be a great influence in planting wholesome, healthful, and Christian ideals in the hearts of these mothers and leaders of tomorrow.

H o me Economics l l l l The large enrollment in each of the Home Ee classes proved the enthusiasm for such a course shown by the girls this year. Red Cross sewing was the first project and the classes rated very high in the state for their accom- plishments. Many other interesting courses followed to give helpful instruction to these homemakers of tomorrow. The Home Nursing class was started under the direction of Mrs. Knight who instructed the girls in the fundamentals. Daily practice classes were conducted by the Home Ec Instructor, Mrs. Fan- cher. Upon completion of the course graduation exercises were held. At the exercises we were honored by the presence of Mrs. Bailey, the secre- tary of the state Red Cross organization. The Kimberly Red Cross chapter presented flowers to the Home Nursing instructors and a corsage to Mrs. Fancher. The members are: J. Higgins, E. Norris, L. Stayton, R Weech, L. Britt, T. Thorpe, L. Morgon V. Taylor, J. Kight, A. Sudweeks, L Lattin, B. Hilligas, S. Banning, A. Mul- der, N. Teague, A. Bulcher, D. Mason E. Martin, F. Nelson, B. Rowe, W. Sal- lee, I. Bowman, R. Ross, A.

FFA FIRST ROW: Cleo Thamert, Jordan Sizemore, Herman Slevers, Eugene Sturglll, Norman Tilley, Lynn McFarland SECOND ROW: Norman Mason, Lloyd Straughn, Kenneth Venable Gene Suddreth, Charles Jones, Gilbert Quesnell henever a war or other national disturbance strikes a country, there is always something or somebody hurt. The Kimberly F. F. A. chapter has been affected severely for there is no chapter any more. The last boys to enjoy work in agriculture are Juniors and Seniors now. For two years they have been deprived of an in- structor because of the critical man-power situation which has faced our country. The instructor in 1943 was Mr. Gillett, and Mr. Merrill took his place the following year. During those last two years F. F. A. was enjoyed by the boys equally as well as before. They participated in Seed Judging, Livestock judging, and a Public Speaking Contest in which Eu- gene Sturgill took the rating of third place in the state. We of the Kimberly Future Farmers of America sincerely hope that a new chapter may be started in order that the boys of the future who may be interested in agriculture may enjoy the bene- fits and advantages which F. F. A. provides.
