New Lonclon's FFA Chapter has been most active this year and certainly has lived up to his title of Future Farmers. The boys started last fall by planting wheat 'on their FFA farm west of town. They also worked many hours this spring on their farm with each boy contributing as much of his time and his tools for fathefsj as possible. The Chapter had eleven freshmen boys join but will lose six very capable senior boys. The seniors leaving to pursue their vocations in agriculture are Ronnie Baker, Alfred Coy, Don jackson, jim Mitchell, Dick Smith, and Bill Spencer. Among the activities carried on by the FFA boys were: the annual pest hunt, Parliamentary Procedure Contest fin which a silver placing was re- ceiveclj, the ParentfSon Banquet, and participation in State Judging Contests. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Gilman Baker, the new vocational agrif culture teacher, the boys have put forth much effort to live up to their FFA motto.

Kathy King, Karen Staples, Linda Garrett, Lois Winfield. Twenty-eight Librarians SENIOR LIBRARIANS Judi Finkel JUNIOR LIBRARIAN S The Public Library and the school are closely coordinated because as yet the High School has no library and therefore must use the facilities of the public library. Each vear a group of high school students are chosen to be trained in the library undei the supervision and guidance of Mrs. French, the Head Librarian. For the past few years the number of student librarians has been four, but this year it is being increased to five because of the large circulation of the library. On the average the library has close to 200 books going out per day, thus the need for extra help. The student trainees are given a Full year of training and preparation, and then permitted to Work in the library for another year for pay as well as experience. The older girls also help the trainees during their training by teaching each one a certain phase of the library work. The Senior librarians were: Judi Finkel, Beverly Frank, Susan Reid, and Rosemary Wilson. The Junior librarians were: Linda Garrett, Kathy King, Karen Staples, and Lois Winfield. The librarians. are chosen on the basis of their English grades, other scholastic records, capability, and responsibility by the teachers and Mrs. French. The new librarians are chosen the second semester of their sophomore year. Sponsored by the O'Haru Oil Company Beverly Frank, Susan Reid, Rosemary Wilsoiu
