18 FARM AND HOME FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Satisfaction comes from service to our fellow beings. To work for the advancement of the community, state, and nation is the aim of the Fu- ture Farmers of America. The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of farm boys studying vocational agriculture in the high schools throughout the United States. The Paris chapter of F. F. A. was organized in 1930 with a member- ship of twenty, but has now grown to have an enrollment of thirty-six. Mr. Don Hamilton is our adviser. VOCATIONAL CLUBS HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club of Paris High School is affiliated with the State and National Home Eco- nomics Associations. In October, the club sent three delegates, Bertha Blair, Betty Han- cock and Janet Richeson, to the State Home Economics Conference in Chicago. They were accom- panied by the club sponsors, Miss Hendricks and Miss Perisho. The members enjoyed a Thanks- giving and a Christmas party. At the latter, each brought discarded toys which were given to under- privileged children of the city. F. F. A. front Row: Mr. Hamilton, Whitlock, Parrish, Wilton, Reel.

CHARLES D. WENDHOLT. B. S. hiJutlrul Arts Developing Creative Skill YOUNG ARTISTS AT WORK LEARNING TO USE TOOLS The industrial arts department is efficiently headed by Mr. Wend- holt. This department has been re- organized into four divisions: me- chanical drawing, wood work, sheet metal work, and electricity. In the first quarter the whole department devotes its time to mechanical draw- ing; plans and layouts are made which are later used in the wood and sheet metal work. In the electricity section the students learn the rudi- ments of house wiring, electric in- duction, and many other vocational aids. In addition, as an outside ac- tivity, Mr. Wcndholt is in charge of a talented group of students in the art classes. He instructs the students in mixing and blending colors, both water color and chalk. Unusually fine work has been turned out by this class, especially in chalk-on- paper drawings. These wall murals turned out so well that the work was on display in the halls for several days.
