FUTURE HOMEMAKERS ARE MEMBERS OF THE HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club was organized in October, 1937. The girls in foods, clothing, and home management classes are members of this organization. Oflicers elected for the year 195 7-38 are: Melba Timmons, President, Esther Edwards, Vice- President, Elsie Milligan, Secretary and Treasurer. The club, with an enrollment of forty-live members, meets once a month. Two captains were chosen and the club was divided into two groups, who take turns in being responsible for the meetings. Each girl entertains the group and each thing she does counts a point. At the end of the year, the group with the largest number of points is entertained by the losers. This fall at Halloween, the merchants of Monticello offered prizes to the classes or organization that decorated the best store window. The Home Economic Club competed in this contest and won fourth prize, which was two dollars. You might be interested in knowing how we decorated the window. Clothes pins were dressed as dolls and a miniature masquerade dance was very well planned. The purpose of our club is to combine the Home Economics classes and a monthly get-together. 24

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA STUDY AGRICULTURE ASSIDUOUSLY The F.F.A. is a national organization of farm boys regularly enrolled in a class in vocational agriculture. The purposes of this organization are as follows: 1. To promote vocational education in agriculture in the public schools. 2. To create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations. 3. To create and nurture a love of country life. 4. To encourage recreational and educational activities for students in voca- tional agriculture. 5. To promote thrift. 6. To encourage co-operative effort among students of vocational agriculture. 7. To strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work. 8. To promote scholarship among students of vocational agriculture. 9. To develop rural leadership. The insignia of the Future Farmers is made up of four symbols, namely: C13 cross section of an ear of corn, representing common agricultural interests, since corn is native to America and grown in every state, KZ J the owl, representing wisdom, C35 the plow, representing tillage of the soil, the basis of modern agriculture, and C45 the rising sun, representing progress. The oflicial colors are old gold and national blue. In the Monticello chapter we have elected the following officers: President, Charles Zindarg Vice-President, Leslie Alexander, Secretary, Maurice Young, and, Treasurer, Earl Blacker. Regular meetings are held monthly in the high school. These meetings have an educational as well as recreational value and are under the supervision of our Agricul- ture Instructor, Mr. Smith. Leslie Alexander is vice-president of Section 11 in the State F.F.A. and is in charge of an area covering Z1 chapters in central Illinois.
