Catch that hog! echoes through the Junior High building as Mr. Davis gets another meeting of Ojai's Future Farmers of America under way. The habits of a hog is only one of the many things learned by the FFA as is proven by all the blue ribbons Chapter 7 brought home from the county fair this year. Each member has a home project for which he may win an award, and in this way the boys really carry out their motto by doing to learn. In addition to their home projects the Future Farmers have group projects and fre- quently go out on field trips to learn the modern methods of farming first hand. This country-wide organization puts the future of the vegetables and bovines in capable young hands.

Assistant librarians are not a bit stuffy as librarians over the world are depicted to be. The smiles on these faces show that the students selected to help Mrs. Cook in the bookwork for the school are a cheery lot. Checking in, checking out, and keeping track of overdue books are part of their job, but they also play teacher during study periods in the library by helping students with work and maintain- ing order. Efficiency is the keynote as all the office girls work at once. Car- olyn Hatcher answers the phone and Ernestine Fennel types the bulletin, while the others tend to their many duties. These girls assist the administration by run- ning errands, recording grades and managing all the more routine jobs, under the expert guidance of Mrs. Sargent. In addition to help- ing keep the office work going smoothly, the assistants gain valu- able experience which will be of use to them in future employment. many Willing ancl Left to right: Virginia Higinbothamkl-Iuora Williams, Marcia Rhine Charlotte Russell, JoAnn Tereault, janet Watson, Wanda Drye, Barbara Parker, Diane Hill, james Showman, Glen Simmons, George Biswell joan Arnet, Lydia de la Torre and Elaine Stewart.
