A. strives toward one goal, to develop rural cooperation, rural. leadership, and the ability to make farming a successful enterprise. Last fall it was decided to have a home room which would consist of boys interested in F. F. A. work. When we organized, we made out a program wxhich we have carried out during the school year. First on our program was the organi- zation of degree teams. These teams initiated many members into the F. F. A. in various towns in Lenawee County. In November the F. F. A. chapter was given the privilege of selling refreshments at the annual Monroe-Adrian football game. November 30 eleven members of the chapter and our instructor, Mr. Clark, left for a four-day trip to the International Live Stock Show in Chicago. Many interesting things were seen, such as the Swift Packing Plant, the Livestock Show in the New Arena at the Stock Yards, and the Marshall Field Department Store which is the largest in the world. January 9 the Adrian Chapter entertained the schools of Lenawee County for an annual all-county F. F. A. meet. Thirty-seven candidates from various schools were raised to the grade of Future Farmers, eight from Adrian receiving the degree. The speaker for the evening was Mr. Robert Linton of Michigan State College. February 25 the annual F. F. A. Father and Son banquet was held at the Rome Grange. Fifty-six attended. The speaker was our own state F. F. A. adviser, Mr. Gallup. In March the members of the F. F. A. prepared talks on high school life to present to boys and girls of rural schools. The members of the chapter believe that our success in F. F. A. work is due to the cooperation of the students in our home room, and to the capable guidance of our friend and teacher, Mr. Clark.

In October a demonstration of A Cappella Choir singing was given in Lansing for the benefit of the music division of the third district of the Michigan Education Association. A very beautiful and most impressive Christmas Pageant was presented on the stage of the Croswell Theatre in December by the combined music and speech de- partments for the purpose of raising money for the Associated Charities. It com- bined the sacred significance of Christmas with the jollification of the season in a most gratifying manner and met with a Fine response from the citizens of Adrian and outlying towns. Numerous special groups of senior voices have been organized this year, and have been called upon many times to sing in Adrian and throughout the county. Two boys' quartets were formed, composed of flj, Jarvis Wotring, John Mac- Naughton, Paul Cairns, and Evert Hylanderg QZJ, Don Brown, Harlow Anderson, Eugene LaSalle, and Roger Anderson. There have been two double-mixed quar- tets. The boys composing the first quartet, together with Agnes Goodwin, Jane Brydon, Jean Westerman and Louise Schaffer made up the first one, while the boys of the second quartet were placed with Jeanne Mcphail, Irene Daley, Jane Allen and Dorothy Marr to form the second. A girls' septet, consisting of Mabel Hay- ford, Inez Alexander, Elizabeth Baker, Donna Miley, Lois Albig, Lenore Bangerter, and Hazel Faler has furnished music on several occasions. A girls' trio composed of Agnes Goodwin, Jean Westerman, and Louise Schaffer also has been quite active. All of these organizations excepting the girls, septet participated in the North Cen- tral Music Supervisors' Conference held in Indianapolis in March, and prior to this, concerts were given by the A Cappella Choir and by the groups themselves, for the purpose of raising money for the trip. The groups received unusually high ratings in this contest and also made some very fine contacts. All in all, this has been a very pleasant and profitable year for the vocal department.
