F.F. A. Fair With the idea in mind of “‘promoting com- munity interest and helping the F.F.A. boys in leadership,’’ the Future Farmers and their new sponsor, Mr. Jankowski, set out to make this year’s F.F.A. Fair the biggest ever. In spite of the rainy weather, the exhibits of farm produce, the booths by various clubs, the crowning of the Harvest Festival queen, the Talent Show and other activities gave added effect in their own special way and helped to ‘‘make the F.F.A. dream come true.’” Martha Sebasty, with her court J. Budney, J. Mark, N. Ray, and S. Kruszews- ki, was crowned queen of the Harvest Festival by Lt. Gov. Handley while Roger Gay presented the roses.

4—a™. This year the future Homemakers had a very successful year with their new sponsor, Miss Beverly Krogh, and their chapter mother, Mrs. Charley Sarber. Money was raised by selling pop at the Halloween Festival and concessions at noon. With the money, the Future Homemakers bought new sewing machines and supplies for the Home Economics room. A Some of the Future Homemakers attended the District fall and spring meetings and the state meeting at Terre Haute. The officers for the year were Hileen Clayes, pres.; Sue Coon, vice pres.; Betty Laureys, sec.; and Ann Nita Ekstrom, treas. The F.F.A. club is an organization to which the agriculture students may be- long. This year besides their home projects of grain growing, and raising stock and poultry, they rented a farm. On this farm they raised corn and soy beans. Last fall, wheat was planted. The success of the Community Fair, an annual F.F.A. project, was greatly aided by the many exhibits, organizations, donations, etc. of New Carlisle and neighboring communities. Members take part in numerous contests, such as, judging livestock, crops, vegetables, and dairy. Letters are given for these. Last summer a joint picnic with the F. H. A. was held at Tower Hill.

Officers for the year were Ann Nita Ekstrom, pres.; Sharon Tuttle, vice pres.; Nancy Manus- zak, sec.; and Edna Miller, treas. Square Dance Club Students find that studies alone do not give them a chance to develop all of their talents and interests. To supply this oppor- tunity, a new club — the Square Dance Club — wags formed this year for the enjoyment of the stu- dents. The members and the faculty advisers, Miss Turley and Mr. Jankowski, had lots of fun weekly improving their tech- nique and fects different dances.
