Chapter was led this year by Bob Detlefsen, president, and Mr. Amos, Advisor, from Florida. Before arriving in Oregon Mr. Amos, as a token of a way to increase intersectional understanding, sent a baby alligator “Annie” whose survival has shown how favorably the moist Oregon coast climate compares with sunny Florida. Several of the boys entered their projects along with their project books at the Coos County Fair. The prizes won totaled $50.00. Midyear the members decided to purchase a new tractor. Wle chose a Ford, which cost us $1200, and included several attachments such as a plow, harrow, and scoop. The Chapter members use it on their farms and then do work with in the community for those people who desire to hire it. The Future Farmers have demonstrated some of their skills in various ways during the school term such as doing pruning jobs around towrn. They also gathered apples for the cannery. F.F.A. Officers: Left to right—Dole Hoffman, Murl Laird, Jock Farrier, Robert Detlefsen, Burton Wilson, Harold Amos, Advisor.

Bang! Boom! and finally a peaceful silence . . . and at last the first issue of the Myrtle Leaf hit the presses. Through the able guidance of Mr. Hurst (he can be reached at the Sunnybrook Health Farm now) we got each issue out not less than a month behind time (well, maybe a little later). We admit we were a little slow getting started this year; but when we did, we considered the job pretty good. Each night just before the deadline you could have found us slaving away furiously on any and all things that were suggested to be written. People knew all the latest fashions and gossip with the help of our Klose Line and Bobcat Meows. Many of the political views of the school were changed by the editorial section, and numerous stitches were split by our humor. All this while the businessmen in town beat the doors down (with the help of our ad salesmen) trying to get space in our advertising section. All in all, though, the several issues we have gotten out we consider well done and we hope for an even better paper next year, since almost the entire staff will still be around as juniors and seniors.
