The Junior Leaders help younger 4-H members to profit from their mistakes. On Achievement Night 4-H ' ers reap their rewards for last year ' s ef- forts. The 4-H (Head, Heart, Hands, and Health) motto. To Make the Best Better, is a constant reminder to 4-H ' ers to improve themselves. 4-H is a vocational organization which is under the guidance of the County Agent ' s office. Its members enroll in various projects, such as sewing, garden- ing, and beef herds, and complete the required amount of work. The older members, as Junior Leaders, help the young- er members to get started and encourage them to continue their work. Each August a country fair is held where 4-H ' ers exhibit the products they ' ve made during the past year. 4-H ' ERS CAPTURE AWARDS BOTTOM ROW: G. Andes, J. Hunter, S. Gentis, S. Roembke, B.

The hands of each Sunshine girl were busy and active during the entire 1959-60 school year. Led by their offi- cers, Caryl Habegger, Ruth Reinhard, Carolyn Hamilton, Becky Benson, and Jackie Weinland, they collected money at two record hops; beautifully decorated the cafeteria for the Sunshine Banquet and Sweetheart Dance; and trimmed trees, doors, and rooms at Christmas time. The motto, Others, was carried out by a generous donation to the Riley Hospital, boxes of cookies and candy for the aged and shut-ins of our community at Christmas time, a Christmas tree and a box of food for a needy family and a tea for mothers and Ideal Ladies in the spring. Work, activity, fun and thoughts of Others combined to make this a success-filled year for the Sunshine Society. One of the many SSS projects was that of making prayer cards for the tables in the cafeteria.

One of the projects undertaken by the FSA was keeping a display in the old trophy case in Study Hall. Ross Andrews won high honors at Ossian ' s Science Fair as well as at the Regional Science Fair in Ft. Wayne. Continuous research is necessary for the science projects displayed at the annual fair. Science projects for the annual Science Fair kept FSA mem- bers continuously busy. After a successful membership cam- paign was launched early in the fall of the club ' s third year of existence. After the election of officers, namely, Minor Stowe, Betty Barnes, Margaret Resler, Ross Andrews, Sharon Kizer, and Darlene Biberstine, an avalanche of activities began, in- cluding guest speakers, tours, and of course, the Science Fair.
