A. is the development of agricultural leadership, co-operation, and citizenship. There were thirteen Green Hands initiated into the organ- ization this year. The Crop and Vegetable Show, which had its origin this year, proved to be a success. Some other activities of the Laketon F.F.A. Chapter were: Host to District 6 F.F.A. meeting, a Pest Contest, sale of warfarin, sale of garden seeds, all school box social, selection of Chapter Sweetheart, and participation in District and State contests. 1 6

With laughs for everyone at the fun initiation and with a very impressive formal initiation, the Sun- shine Society began a very successful year. In- cluded in the highlights of the year were a Hallo- we'en Carnival and a Sock Hop. The project for Christmas was distributing bas- kets of food to needy families and spreading cheer to shut-ins. During Christmas time we carolled in our community and had a chili supper. The big event of the year was the State Sunshine Convention which we sponsored at the Honeywell Memorial Center at Wabash on April 10. We had 47 member in Sunshine this year. Our officers were: President, Carol Moore; Vice-Presi- dent, JoAnn Clingenpeel; Recording Secretary, Evelyn Pearson; Corresponding Secretary, Carol Moyer; and our sponsor was Mrs. Brown. 1 5
