A. was organized last September at a meet- ing called by Mr. Bantz. The boys decided on several things to do during the year, The main event was the trip to Chicago to see the International Livestock Exposition. Several of the boys were very successful in the state judging contest at Uni- versity of Illinois. Glen Busboom, Robert Osterbur, and John Osterbur were on the dairy team which placed second. Elvin Osterbur, Walter Robbins, Don- ald Jacobs won the beef judging contest. placing first. Elvin Osterbur, Danny Freeman, David Plotner received third at the Springfield State Fair on beef judging. A project tour is being planned for the summer months: nearly all of the boys have their projects as means of raising money. The boys agreed to clear away the timber on the Plotner farm where the tornado struck. They also sold garden seeds and collected dues. Nearly all intend to show livestock at the F. F. A. fair. A Father-and-Son Banquet was held in the earlier part of the year, The F. F. A. has been very successful this year in enrollment and activities, but next year we hope that it will be better and more enjoyable to prospective members to encourage them to join. 22 The 1947 Maroon

Future Homemakers of America The Future Homemakers have been very busy bees again this year. They have proven themselves good workers in earning money for various activities. At noon hour, the F. H. A. sold candy part of the year. They also cooked and served the F. F. A. Banquet, December 7. At the Hallowe'en Community Party the girls won first place in the stunt contest which was a style show. Part of this hard earned money will be spent for sending a delegate to F. H. A. Camp. Last year's delegate was Betty Eyestone, and Helen Bluhm was the alternate. As Betty could not attend, Helen was sent. Two new offices have been added to the club this year, that of parliamen- tarian and chapter mother. Mrs. Lawrence Harry was unanimously elected chapter mother. Mrs. Harry was hostess to a very nice F. H. A. Christmas party on December 19, 1946. This was the F. H. A.'s second year as Future Homemakers of America, formerly known as the Home Economics Club.
