FFA: LEARNING, DOING, EARNING, LIVING, SERVING The Future Farmers of America (FFA) has lived up to its code—“Learning to Do, Doing to Earn, Earning to Live and Living To Serve”—since 1946. This club has sponsored fruit sales, Donkey Basketball, paper drives, corn drives, and FFA week as well as taking part in state and nationwide activities such as judging contest, speaking contests, etc. There are four degrees that a member can attain in FFA. All newcomers are at the first stage—Green Hand. After the first year, one may become a Chapter Farmer if one invests $100+ in a farm project, a State Farmer if one invests or earns $500+ with a farm project, or an American Farmer if one has invested or earned $1000+ with a farm project. Such a busy club must have efficient and organized leader- ship. The 1977-78 FFA officers were Allen Westby, Presi- dent; Kurt Aakre, Vice-President; Mary Tollerude, Secre- tary; Debbie Nodsle, Treasurer; Shanna Perala, Reporter; Tony Vigen, Sentinel; Joel Aakre, Historian; and Mr. Joerger, Adviser.

FHA’ers— Looking Toward Tomorrow The Future Homemakers of Amer- ica’s purpose is to help youth assume their roles in society through Home Economics Education in areas of per- sonal growth, family living, vocational preparation, and community living. When not working on any special activ- ity, the meetings center around general business, followed by songs, games, or lunch. This year each FHA member chose an independent project on which they worked for the rest of the year. These projects were Special Education, a Boutique, Foreign Foods, The Elder- ly, Weight Watching, and Alcoholism. Later, girls from each group performed demonstrations of their work before the local chapter and also for district and state chapters. Five FHA officers were “locked” against each other in a grueling run for the comical honor of Miss FHA. The winner, Kathy Couillard, regally attired in a mini-dress and diamonds(?) was crowned by the returning queen Beth Trites. In the Bashful Buddy project, each girl secretly chose another’s name. For the rest of the year they left notes in these girls’ locker, gave them little presents, especially during Christmas, etc. After all, it’s very exciting to re- ceive a little bit of happiness in your locker from a secret admirer. This year’s leaders—President Karen Carlson, Vice-President Mary Solien, Secretary Beth Trites, Treasurer Mi- chelle Olson, Stu Co Rep Kathy Couil- lard, and Eighth Grade Rep Debbie lindstrom—certainly had their work cut out for them. 15 Kathy Couillard, 1977-78 Miss FHA.

Henjum, opinion editor Not pictured: L. Kelting, photographer One of the Viking Roung-Up staffs main goals this year was to produce a new and better style school paper, and to tie every activity and every individ- ual in school together throughout the year, no matter how dissimilar. I feel we’ve accomplished this by the use of art work, opinions, write-ups, inter- esting articles, feature stories, etc. All of which made you read to find out what was happening and who was be- hind it. The amount of work put into just one issue is unbelievable. The paper starts with investigative report- ing, goes on to editing, typing, re-edit- ing, and several layout procedures, long before the student body ever sees it. I would like to give much recogni- tion to all persons who were involved in this year’s Viking Round-Up and who made it a success. But even more, I would like to thank you, the students of PRHS, who made the whole pro- gram possible through your support. Pam Hovland Editor LETTERWINNERS Row 1: J. Ellingson, D. Grefsrud, W.
