FFA chapter in existence for 33 years Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, and living to serve is the motto by which the Future Farmers of America set their standards. The principal aim of the club is to develop rural leadership and co-operation, Every member has an investment in some pro- ductive project. The Madison FFA chapter, which was chartered in 1929, was the sixth chapter to receive a charter in the State of Indiana. It is the only intra-curricular activ- ity organized and operating on a year-round program of work in the school system. In the fall the entire chapter attended the International Livestock Show in Chicago. Four of the top seniors were awarded a trip to the National Convention at Kansas City, Missouri. In land judging, they received second in the county contest and eighth in the district contest. Their money-making projects included the slave, seed, and FARMERS EXCHANGE sales. The money received helped sponsor the Father-and-Son Banquet and 4-H club awards program. FFA—Front Row: tHorein, Birk, H. Weldy, Klein, Reum, Moore, Grove, P.

to meet pressing publication deadlines SPOTLIGHT STAFF—Front Row: Mrs. David (adviser), Mikel (spot news and South Bend Tribune reporter), Sherk (grade news), Jordan (editor and Wakarusa Tribune reporter), Klein (mimeoscope, exchange and mailing clerk), Nicholas (spot news and mimeoscope). Row Two: Schalliol (special articles), Enders (sports), McCormack (club news and mimeograph), Weaver (sports), Metzler (first semester). Thinking caps were donned as MADISON- IAN staff members sought for fresh, new ideas for captions, copy blocks, and headlines. They worked hard during the first class per- iod every day to make this annual another All-American. During a four-month period, individual, organization, and sports pictures were taken to portray school activities into a captivating picture story. In November the staff launched the MADISONIAN subscription sales campaign. The staff wound up the year by sponsoring the Autograph Hop in May at which the stu- dents received their yearbooks. Reporters of the SPOTLIGHT staff scurry to meet deadlines for the bi-weekly news- paper. The staff, which meets daily, prepares dummy sheets for a preview of the newspaper, then stencils are typed and placed on the mimeograph to produce the finished copy. Last year’s SPOTLIGHT staff won an excellence award from the Student Press for news coverage and a certificate of honor from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for a story on tuberculosis. KENNY McCORMACK checks for errors while Sue Klein draws headlines for the SPOTLIGHT with the help of the editor, Jo Anne Jordan. The journalism class publishes the paper. Page twenty-nine
