The teachers started turning the crank, and knowledge poured forth. During the first year we elected our class officers: Lloyd Carter, Presi- dent, Don Fleming, Vice-President, James Austin, Secretary-Treasurer: Elmer Allen and Donna Clayton, Student Councilg while Mr. Carter and Mr. Rich were chosen as our class sponsors. Since education is not secured from constant use of textbooks, some of our uwhistle baitsu and nhunk of heartbreaksn became members of FEA, FEK, Science Club, GAA, Band, Glee Club, and athletics. When the football season started, some of our boys had taken advantage of the opportunity, and later were seen flashing blue letters around the halls. By becoming members of these clubs, hidden talents were discovered. Our lives have become more rounded by the application of what we have learned in both the classroom and our club associations. In the spring the class was host to the eighth-graders who were to become 'hazedn and nrazzed' ngreenies.n This concluded an active freshman year for the nsharp girlsn and nglad ladsn of '46. When school started in the fall of 1943, our classmates were seen along the uconga linen patiently herding themselves to the little red school house. we were fewer in number, but nevertheless we found and elected well-qualified loaders: President, Lloyd Carter: Vice-President, Don Fleming: Secretary- Treasurer, Paula Jean Laird, Student Council, Elmer Allen and Phyllis Salmon, while we were well instructed by Miss Pearman and Mr. Legg. At the Annual Junior Frolio event we received second place honors with the stunt, nBanum and Barley,u in which the entire class took. part. we were also fortunate enough to have one of our ndrape shapesn be elected Cheerleader for the year. Again our class took an active part in clubs and athletics. As quick as a flash, our sophomore year was coming to a close, and our next thought was a vacation. In the fall on 1944 a class of nbook bugsn and nbrain boxesn began a busy year at EHS. Our class sponsors were Miss Dittlinger and Miss Peterson, and the members of the class chose and elected the following officers: President, Elmer Allen, Vice-President, Paula Jean Laird: Secretary-Treasurer, Phyllis Salmon: Student Council, Lloyd Carter and Dorothy Alexander. ' Homecoming was one of the first important events of the year. A large crowd attended the chili supper, and later in the evening the gymnasium was crowded with nrhythm rockersn and njive bombers.n During the latter part of A 1 S f H Q was H JSTQKY 097 the evening, a nlittle solid sender,n Aldine Gillins, was voted Homecoming Queen. Other things also occupied our minds. we selected and ordered our class ringsg five members 'of our class were elected to the National Honor Societygone of our members was elected Cheerleaderg and several of our ndrooly boysn were on the basketball team that won the Regional Tournament. The Navy drafted one nglad lad,n Paul Anderson, from our class into its services during the month of April. The goal of our Junior year was to sponsor an outstanding Junior-Senior Prom, to be held in the month of May. Since our theme was Chinese, the MTHS Gymnasium was decorated with dragons and Chinese lanterns. Fa1etti's Orchestra furnished the music for the dancing with many ndusky shincrackersn out on the floor. All present said that our Prom was one of the finest they had seen. This closed our Junior year, and we were sorry that we had but one more year together as classmates. H we are now Seniors and will soon see no more of MTHS as students. At the advent of this, our last year, we elected very capable officers: President, Thelma Luchtg Vice-President, Phyllis Salmong Secretary-Treasurer, Nellie Alexander: Student Council, Paula Jean Laird and Lloyd Carter. Our loyal sponsors were Mrs. Mueller, Miss Butscher, and Mr. Jones. Immediately our thoughts were turned to graduation. Our name cards and invitations were selected and ordered. we also had our Senior class pictures taken. The class chose its motto, flower, and color. During our Senior year, not all of our work pertained to graduation. The class decided to present a play. Under the direction of Miss Stanfield, a three-act comedy entitled WA Little Honeyn was staged. After the performance the class was host at a reception on the stage for the cast and its friends. The next thing our class did was to vote on the publishing of an annual. A REVEILLE staff was appointed and the book was well published. So new weere graduating and we hope none of us is ncruisin' for a bruisin'nL ' 1 , Q L A S S ffijliit W I L L L'-ev We, the members of the Class of 1946, of Milford Township High School, still possessing strength of mind and bodies, find it our solemn duty to dis- pose-of all our high school assets and liabilities to those who, in a short time will occupy this dignified station in life.

In behalf of the Class of 1946, I welcome you. we are launched and about ready to cruise out into the open sea of life. As the fog mist ascends, we are confronted by the question, nwhere shall we anchor?n For some of the more able navigators of our class, the present course has already been charted. The log book shows that a few of the boys are already inducted into the Armed Forces. Anchorage for several classmates has yet to be determined. Their careers may lead to professional, economic, or any of the various occupations found in the voyage of animation. Buoyancy, as well as ambition, will stimulate us in gaining our desires. Just as the compass has, in the past, directed the navigator, so have our parents and teachers conditioned us to pilot our way through the stormy sea cf life. The North Star has brought many a good sailor safely home, consequently, as we flounder about in this strange world seeking our place, we will revert to our North Star, the principles learned in our good old alma mater. As we plowed the sea of knowledge, we sailed many a nautical mile. Some days were stormy and filled with obstacles difficult to conquer. Other hours contained moments of sunshine and bliss. Now as vm are at the end of our four year course in high school, we steam forward into the busy port of lifeg and casting out the anchor, the class says nalohan to our understanding parents, our helpful teachers, the efficient members of the School Board,and the faith- ful stududts of Milford Township High School. ,, VALEDICTOIQY We, the youth of today, are the exponents of the future. Before us is a markedly vivid horizon of limitless possibilities, but the scene is almost obliterated by the clouds of uncertainty. With Commencement at our door, a final chord seems to have been struck that will vibrate and resound throughout every fiber of our being as we go forth to meet the challenge that life ex- tlnds to us. One question uppermost in the mind of every graduating student is whether or not he is equipped with the necessary essentials to meet life as itachndly is. Most of us think of this as purely academic, but I feel that perhaps the '-', 5 Inf 9 VfxL5olc3'ro1aY greatest asset a graduating student can have is the ability to place himself socially in life. Educators formerly enumerated the acquirement of academic principles as being the most important standards of educational achievement. But at the present time stress is placed upon social aptitudes. Success in life is not measured by storing knowledge futile1y,but by attaining ideals, aspirations, and understanding of those with whom we work and associate--in school, church, home, or business world. - In addition to attaining a scholastic record, it is extremely essential that a student adapt himself to situations that arise in school. In other words, that he not only be able to take his place in his own circle, but also be able to express himself fluently and well in classroom discussions, take part in class organizations and clubs, and to maintain a social equilibrium that will be an asset in meeting this challenge of youth once he is removed from the scene of his familiar high school. A student who enters high school and endures the four years without actually participating in social activities is unfortunate in that he has received academic instruction alone. He oftentimes finds himself ineptly con- fused. among the masses of people, unable to mingle or apply even so muchasan inkling of the knowledge he has stored. The other extreme presents itself when the student disregards learning completely and is involved solely in social life. The wise student chooses the happy medium by acquiring leadership, tact, understanding, and friendship, as well as scholastic honors. Freedom is virtually a part of education just as it is in any other phase of life. A certain ease of expression and movement is needed for the relation- ship between faculty and student body in order to bring the modern school to such a place where it will be best able to fulfill its purpose as an instituf tion to give us what the world most needs to equip its youth to a betterxxmer- standing of life. Revision or reenforccment of the educational system to include social and scholastic development is part of the challenge of youth. The world of tomorrow will need even greater thinkers. These can only come from our midst, the youth of today. This requires men and women with the knowledge and art of putting across in the home, classroom, and church ideas of understanding to those of denser comprehension. The wer has brought vividly to the minds of service men and Qiviljqns alike the mere appreciation of other peoples' sensibilities. According to Emily Post, that is tact, and tact is the result of training and of quick perception and innate kindness. We, even as the youth of other graduating classes of other years, are faced with the same problems, only this time the shackles have been removed. The world is open for greater improvement than at 'M O VALE DICTCDIQY N W any time history has ever known as it mills round and round with a great challenge of life and future advancement. . x '41 'FAR 0 We, the youth of today, are prepared to meet that challenge, chins thrust forward, charged with vivacity, eyes clear, hearts free, minds fertile with ideas we accept your challenge and take it with us in farewell.

The boys with their trousers rolled above their socks, and the girls in pigtails and Wsloppy joes' met and elected the following officers: President, Wayne Stimpsong Vice- President, Tom Garnerg Secretary-Treasurer, Helen Johnsong Student Council, Barbara Crawford and Dale Keen. Our sponsors were Mr. Sherrmann and Mr. M Cormick. The Student Council assigned the Freshman Class, as their part of the Freshman Initiation, a comedy program to be presented to the entire studen1 body, which proved to be a great hit. Candidates for the Homecoming queen were Helen Johnson and Jean Smith. In September of 1944 we saw our same little students in clanking brace- lets and red suspenders with Van Johnson in their minds trudging off toward MTHS again. Sophomore officers wereg President, Charles Nielseng .Vice- Presidcnt, Wayne Stimpsong Secretary-Treasurer, Ronald Brewerg Student Council m mber, Hflen Johnson and Donald Pitman. Our advisers were Miss Pearman and Mr. King. The annual Homecoming Dance was held with Helen Johnson and Jean Smith again up as candidates. The Juniors chose Lloyd Allen and Charles Nielsen tc participate in their Chinese Festival prom. Our little class took a lead ir the Science Club when Stanley Kent was elected president. The fall of 1945 saw us sitting around in loud plaid shirts and blue jeans still thinking about Van Johnson and Perry Como. we started off wit! 34 students but by the end of the first semester the class roll had dropped tn 30. we elected: President, Donald Pitman, Vice-President, Sydney Anderson Secretary-Treasurer, Barbara Crawford: Student Council, Jean Smith and lhym Stimpson. Our advisers were Miss Dittlinger, Miss Patterson, and M . Hitchens Homecoming was the big event of the first semester sponsored by our dues Barbara Crawford, Jean Smith, and Mildred Stebbins were chosen to represenl us. At the first pert of the second semester a Valentine Dance with music'U The Swingsters, sponsored by the Juniors, provided fun for the few 'B'n B'J and lore wolves that did venture forth, but for the most part a threatemmgldh :ard kept the Class from securing the huge financial success we had hoped tu make it. we worked hard during the year on the climax of our eventful year the Junior-Senior Prom, which was one of the loveliest, the theme of which wa: a Neptune-Party.

Our class, the majority of which were boys, soon began to quiet down and walk to class, much to the relief of the upper classmen, who were usually vic- tims of our rush. Getting down to electing class officers, we chose Rex Nor- gaard, President, David Irwin, Vice-President: Aldine Gillins, Secretary and Treasurer3 Student Council, Edgar Cross and Caryl Asbury. Our sponsors were Mr. Gould and Mr. Roberts. The first frightening ordeal was the announcement of initiation: however, it wasn't so hazardous, and we all lived through it. we were each assigned a duty by a Student Council member, and we were to act it out in front of the assembly. Our candidates for Homecoming Queen were Aldine Gillins and LaVerne Heimr soth, and we were thrilled and honored to have Aldine chosen Queen. The year passed all too quickly, and we soon found ourselves at the door of Hlford Township High School beginning our second year of fun, study, and activities. This time we chose Edgar Cross for President, Wendell Ferdinand for Vice-President, Barbara Mohler as Secretary, and Caryl Asbury for Treasur- er. Student Council members were Patty Miller and Richard Collins. Our spon- sors for the year were Miss Stanfield, Mr. Scott, and Mr. King. Again choosing for Homecoming Queen, we put in three candidates: they were Aldine Gillins, Barbara Mohler, and Patty Miller. we are proud to say our Class was represented in all the activities of the school during both our Freshman and Sophomore year.

After learning our way around, we elected our class officers: President, Jerry Crist: Vice-President, Joan Allen, Secretary, Marilyn Crawford: .Treasuror, Dorothy Jo Margreyg Student Council, Norman Long and Bettie Miller. Our sponsors were M .

With Clovis T. Scott and Eldon Hitchens, as new Director and Producer, MTHS made pleading calls for all prospective football talent to appear for try outs. Returning from last year's light team were six lettermen, leaving five large holes to be filled and a bench to be well represented. After three wuis of hard work and drilling,the new grid mentors felt ready to test their mnall young team. Rantoul seemed to loom as the initial objective, however, the Bearcats found the Eagles with just as much wit as weight, and found themselves with the short end of a rough and tumble grid battle losing 19-O. Being invited as guests to the Gilman Homecoming, the Milfordites jitter- bugged'neath the Gilman goal posts four tinws, to the tune of 25 points, and left the Owls the sad owners of only 7 tallies. Inaving Gilman on the losing side of the ledger, our 'Cats prepared for the invasion of Momence's undefeated Redskin's. The score was 26-O, and it seems Momence finished the season undefeated. Number four on our schedule will be remembered as Roseville, who took advantage of our generous hospitality by lumbering through our end zones on two occasions. To be forgotten is the fact that we were outmaneuvered ir a 13-O fracas. The thought of another defeat sparked our local gridder's to trimming a much heavier Catlin eleven down to 7 counters and managed to garner 20 theme selves. After the ganw, a Catlin cheerleader asked nHow far north of here is Milford?n Fellows, I think she was impressed. To my estimation we were cruising for a bruising, as we failed to notice Gibson City on our side of the ledger. So as good hosts, we allowed them to remain there, but not until we had given them one of their toughest games of the season. The score was written down in records as being 27-O. Our next little venture was to Paxton, which is termed one of the best games of the campaign. With a right hand full of trick plays, and a left full of determination, we waltzed to an early lead, but--the second half featured a sizzling gridiron that boiled td' the finish. It seems that no season is com- plete without at least one tie. This one reed Paxton 13, Milford 13. Highlighting the season's batlesmms the annual Armistice Day game deter- mining the owner of the Hampton Trophy. Due to a l3-6 edging, the trophy remained untouched.

With Carter and Fleming to form the core, vacancies were soon filled, and we were recognized on the hardwood floor as one ofthe most feared quintets, deemed also to make Cissna scratch for the County crown. Due to a flu epidemic which hit Milford as well as many other schools, prevseason predictions were altered to a great extent. The Bearcats took third in the Invitational Tourney at the local goal house. They were dropped in the third night's tilt of the 21st Annual County Tourney held in Watseka. Entering the Regional as hosts--with an underdog rating--we upset the ndope bucket two consecutive nights with triumphs over Roseville Qdeemed to play the finals with Cissnaj and Hoopeston false claiming a higher rating than the Bearcavsj.

Somo of the high lights of the evening werez the Saxophone Sextet, com- posed of the nSliok Chicken Marjorie Asbury, Nellie Alexander, Betty Moore, Rosemary Schroder, Kathyrn lkrtin, and Patty Miller. The Rhythm Rockers Jean and Joan Wright danced into the hearts of the audience with their tap dancing. Not to be left out of the nlimelight,n the Swingsters, under the leadership of John Piersol fthe second Harry Jamosj played several selections, featuring the nCroonern Elmer Allen and 'nSolid Sendern Rosemary Schroder as singers. Elmer.Allen, Dick Barker, John Akerly, Tom Garner, and Ronald Brewer, in the personages of Bing Crosby and the Andrew Sisters put on a nMake Behaven act. The brain also came forth with a Bubble Fantasy, with Paula Jean Laird singing the vocal chorus. A marimbaphone duet was very ably played by Joan Allen and Peggy Stone. Jean Sarjent, our slick twirler, then twirled, accom- panied by the nAll Star Banda of MEHS. After having mentioned the main divi- sions of the program, we must not forget the brilliant job the whole Band did on the marches, waltzes, and cvertures. A colorful stage greeted the audience for nCotton Land Carousel,' a musi- cal play, on February 22. Shades ranging from the lightest blue violet to purple accentuated with silver for the color scheme and setting for the plan- tation house pillars and crooked slave dwelling. The play concerned a southern belle CCathyleen Grayj home from dramatic school, who was warmly welcomed back to the South Land by southern Mammy fHelen Jchnsonj but not so warmly by her rivul QMartha Schroederl. 'Beanpod' KRichard Hartman, added a lot of comedy to the act. Interwoven in this plot were the spirited songs, and dance routines by the dancing chorus, costumed in ante-bellum gowns. Jean and Joan Wright, dancers, and Barbara Crawford and Cathyleen Gray, soloists, also added glamour to the Wmsrry Widow Waltz.' The between act numbers were especially interesting,featuring a two-piano prelude by Miss Pearman and Gerry Bailey, a three-act piano novelty by Miss Pearman, Phyllis Salmon, Jean and Joan Wright, Joan Allen, and Elfrieda Bohl- mann, and a humorous black-faced play starring Helen Johnson, Charles Allen, Stanley Kent, and Bettie Miller. 4 is xi 1-3,3 0? f .

Besides the well- known soloists, Paula Jean Laird, Rex Norgaard, Barbara Crawford, Rosemary Schroder, Elmer Allen, and Cathyleen Gray, several new voices were heard, namely Alma Williams, Bob Truby, Bob Meyer, Lloyd Allen, Dick Sivill, and Phyllis Salmon. The outstanding performance of the evening was the last act, starring the Mixed Chorus. This brought the show to a brilliant climax.

Besides scholarship, leadership, character, and service arc also considered as a basis in the selection of a member.

Only 15 per cent of the Junior and Senior classes may be members, and this year, as in the past, the first meeting disclosed a club much reduced in number. The old members returning were Phyllis Salmon, Cathyleen Gray, Nellie Alexander, and Paula Jean Laird. The members to hold the offices authorized by the constitution of the Society were chosen as follows: Phyllis Salmon, President, Paula Jean Laird, Vice-President, Cathyleen Gray, Secretary and Treasurerg and Nellie Alexander, Reporter. Mrs. Nheller acted as faculty adviser for the group. The inability of such a small group to carry out an attractive program prompted an election earlier in the year than was the usual practice. Those selected from the Senior class were Melvin Bohlmann, Thelma Lucht, Betty Moore, and Juanita Nielsen. From among the Junior group Barbara Crawford, Dale Keen, and Charles Nielsen were chosen. All through the year the members worked hard to carry out some worth-while practices.

Produced under Miss Elizabeth Stanfield after six weeks of combined work, fun, and memories, the play was at long lust ready. A record crowd filled the auditorium of MTHS on November 16, even taking the chairs from the members of the cast. The crowd laughed uproariously at the'characterizations of the cast. Cathyleen Gray as nScoots' Minton, Martha Schroeder as Scoot's older sister, Jerry Minton, and Charles Allen as Albert Parker, the boy next door, gave their worthless as well as amusing help to the problems of pretty Diana Minton, played by Phyllis Salmon, who is in love with Ensign Tom Corning, Lloyd Carter, home from overseas. Mrs. Eve Tyler, a charming Southern woman, effectively played by Gerry Bailey, presented a new problem to M . Minton, Melvin Bohlmann, and his wife, Betty Moore. Donna Breeding as Grandma Minton had one of the finest portrayals of character presented. Her hurried nurse was played by Vivian lbCay. Norman Sdr koviak was the Sure-Shot man that came to exterminate the bedbugs. Delores Megglehammor, the brisk, sarcastic maid of the Mintens, gave the play a human touch, which was played by Alma Williams. A great deal of credit should be given to Gerald Prutsman, Jack Wyse, and Jim Reeves, who acted as stage managers. .541 1- ' .

A. my 'T The Milford Chapter of the Illinois Girls' Athletic Association was or- ganized September, 1938, at which time it became affiliated with the State Association. The Girls' Athletic Association has been under the sponsorship of Miss Stanfield who has given us a great deal of guidanoe,espeoially in the develop- ment of good health habits. Three capable girls were elected to lead us suc- cessfully through this year: President, Gerry Baileyg Vice-President, Lois Jean Sarjentg Secretary and Treasurer, Barbara Crawford. Upon paying our dues, which is 25 cents per semester, we received health charts. Each chart has the health rules which members are to observe for eight consecutive weeks. The girls keep the charts in order to get points for awards. There are other activities listed on the charts in which the girls may participate to get additional points. The GAA Award Summary for thc year is as follows: Elisa Numerals--600 Points 'Phyllis Fanning Mary Dean Laird 6 M--1200 Points 'Betty Ramsey Aldine Gillins Block I--1600 Points Ea'x7bEra Crawford . Ruby Riechesi Cathylcen Gray' Donna Wray Breeding Helen Johnson' State Emblem--2000 Points Uhr3oric Asbury Gerry Bailey 4 These girls are also trying for the State Emblem this year.

At the beginning of school we were without an adviser as our agricultural teacher had not yet been secured. Our organization was undertaken by our own group until one could be found. When roll was called 50 members were present. Then came our election. nFlashn Lloyd Carter was to be our Presidentg Bruiser Donald Matson to be Vice-Presidents Charles Nielson, Secretaryg Bulldog Jack Wyse, Treasurer, nShockn Whync Stimpson, Reporter: Blockbuster Marvin Brutlag, Watchdog. As soon as Drewer Johns arrived, he assumed the responsibility of adviser. v The first official act on our itinerary was the attendance of our club at the officers school held at Gilman. Here the leaders learned their duties and learned how to make our organization a better one. we also- became familiar with the activities of other chapters in Section 10. Second on our list this year was the pest eradication contest which waste run from November 1 to January 4. Jack Wyss and Donald Bruens were chosen cap- tains of the two teams. It was agreed that the losing side was to give a party for the winners. When the points were all totaled, Dcn's Night Owls were vic- torious over Jack's Night Hawks. uGreenhandsN were the center of attention on November 19 when the MTHS Chapter held its informal and formal initiation. Nineteen greenhands were invited to enter our chapter. After the formal initiation, lunch was Servgd after which the greenhands were asked to clean up. The Milford Canning Company sponsored the Sweet Corn Banquet for all the FFA members. The speaker for the evening was Judge South. The Swingsters furnished the entertainment. Prizes were awarded for the 1945 sweet corn grmw- ing contest. Those who received prizes were: first, 825, Wayne Stinson, sec- ond, 820, Wayne Rosenbergerg third, 315, Sydney Anderson, fourth, 310, James Nielsengfifth, 85, Charles Nielsen. The grand prize of the University of I1- linois Award was presented to Robert Rosalius of Crescent City. Another important event which was attended by some of the chapter members was the invitational FFA Dance. This dance was sponsored by the Crescent City Chapter. r The Nilfcrd Chapter conducted one meeting of the Adult Evening School on March 4, when four of our members appeared on the program and gave interesting talks 0 3' V 23-V5 iiifff ff Af? ., ,L,.WM a www HY, gwq 2 I .1 4 -if-, . -iii-f. , ,1,1 '?4 Q k gf ' Li! 3-11+ , -,Q'fx JL, at al F, .

Jack Wyss, our able representative, got second place with his topic, Care and Maintenance of Good Pastures. March 7 will be a date to be remembered for the FEA and FHA entertained at a joint party. Games, conducted by Drewer Johns, were wholeheartedly par- ticipated in by those attending. Square and social dancing were the main di- versions. Refreshments were served and we adjourned at an early hour. Plans are under way for the Annual Father and Son Banquet. It is hoped that the interest will be greater than the interest displayed on previous oc- casions. Interest in the organization of a softball team has been unusually keen. In view of this fact, we have started such a team. Of course, it is our own estimate that we can and will defeat the toughest of the tough. So a busy year draws to an auspicious rest only to gain renewed energy for the duties of 1946-47. ,, 1. X ,P ' W5 fit: ' agp F, H. fx. Tiff Our first meeting of the year on September 21, 1945, was held in the form of a tea given by the Home Economics III class. The new members were welcomed into the club and becane acquainted with the old m mbers and the officers. The officers, who had been elected in the spring, were President,Paula Jean Laird, Vice-President, Cathyleen Grayg Secretary-Treasurer, Vivian McCayg Reporter, Charlene Barker, and the Sponsor was Miss Jean Patterson. The next meeting, held on October 18, was initiation. The informal initi- ation was held during the day and everybody had to wear their mother's dresses inside out and backward and carry their books in a bucket. They wore no make- up, and for their password, had to curtsy and say to the old members whom they met, 'I'm a putty cat.n In the evening the formal initiation was held in which the new members received a membership ribbon. After the ceremony, the dinner prepared by the old members was served,and after the dinner the newcomers were elected to clean up the gym. November 27 was the Milford Canning Company Banquet at which the girls from the FHA were in charge of the dining room, and the mothers of the FFA boys were in charge of the kitchen. 5 S5 I i.

Everybody enjoyed the singing and seomed to catch a bit more of the Christmas spirit. After canol- ing, we came back to the high school for cookies and hot cocoa. we affiliated this year with the State and National Future Homemakers of America. Vivian Schrontz, a junior from St. Anne, is our state president. ur programs for this year have been centered around personal grooming. Lessons on cosmetics, packing a suitcase, a panel discussion on clothing care, and' a movie on good grooming were included in the programs. March 8, 1946, the FFA and FHA had a party built around the theme of abarn dance. The girls wcre either cotton dresses or plaid shirts,and skirts, while the boys were plaid shirts and jeans. The gym was decorated with bales of'dmaw lanterns, and farm implements. The entertainment consisted of square dancing and playing games. Hot dogs and chocolate milk were served as refreshments. we decided to choose a Chapter Mother to serve next year as an honorary member and co-sponsor of the club. Tb be eligible, we decided that the person chosen should have the following qualifications: 1. Be a mother of a member of FHA. 2. Be a mother of an underclassman. 5. Be interested in school affairs. 4. Be a good home manager. 5. Be interested in community affairs. 6. Have a pleasant personality. 7. Have strength of character. 8. Be a good leader. Miss Patterson and Betty Miller attended the sectional FHA rally at Gilman on March 23, 1946. Here we exhanged many ideas with other clubs by which we could all make our programs more worthwhile. This year,since we have fulfilled the ten qualifications necessary, we shall have one delegate at the state FHA camp at Lake Bloomington in August. we feel that our fifty-seven members have accomplished a lot this year, and we are looking forward tc another year of FHA. One 5 HOME CUM I N G of the gayest of all events occurred when the nHep-Catsn gathered at MTHS for the Annual Homecoming Dance. Every nslick ehickn and nglad ladn this side of Sugar Creek canw.
