The purposes of this club are to promote leadership, scholarship, thrift, and to arouse enthusiasm in farming. lnitiating their new members on October 29 was the most hilarious event of the year, especially when there were twenty-one green-hands. As one of the projects, they went on a field trip to the University of Hawaii, where they attended the products show.. ln response to a call for help in the school carnival, the F. F. A. boys took complete charge of the dance and baseball throw, from which they netted a neat sum. One of the most outstanding activities was their sending three delegates, Albert Tamura, Bob Chinen, and Bob Hirota to the annual F. F. A. conference held on Kauai during Easter vacation. Bob Hirota represented the chapter in the oratorical contest, in which he placed second. After returning, the boys re- ported about the business discussed at the conference and the pleasure side of the trip. With the Future Homemakers as guests, a moonlight picnic was held in May. Climaxing their year, they held a reunion, in the latter part of May in honor of former members of the lames Dole Chapter.

' GIRL RESERVES 'I 4 THE C-IRL RESERVE movement was launched in 1932 at Leilehua with thirteen members, under the leadership of Mrs. Merton Mack and Miss Katherine Murphy. A by The main purpose of the organization is to develop physical, mental and spiritual traits in each individual and to promote and to further acquaintance with other girls for world-wide friendship. With an increase in membership, the group was reorganized into three new divisions, the Lehua girls, fifty in number from the senior high, the Friendly Circle, eighteen girls from the intermediate school: and the Wahiawa Triangle, composed of girls from the seventh and eighth grades. On November l7, 1937, the Lehua Girl Reserves sponsored a program with the theme of International Goodwill. Miss Vera Berger was guest speaker. Students dressed in appropriate costumes of various countries took mem- bers of the student body on a world tour of goodwill. Characteristic dances and folk songs added much to the program. At the carnival, held March 4, the Lehua division came into the limelight by sponsoring a puppet show, with the aid of YWCA workers. The other divisions assisted by producing a variety side-show. Other activities included the annual Waialua play day, with Miss Esther Park, rural Oahu adviser, directing the day's activities. A three-day camp was another bright spot of the year.
