The shop is 40 by 80 feet, with a class room, shower room, oflice, and working department. The boys can now carry on larger projects such as welding, building hog houses, making hog troughs, and many other projects. Roy Copelan took the boys to the National Convention in Kansas City, Missouri in his school bus. Everyone had a wonderful time. Some of the ways the F. F. A. Chapter made money this year was selling seeds, making hog troughs, conducting a scrap paper drive, and sponsoring a donkey basketball game. The Chapter bought two sows and fifteen pigs which each boy helped care for, and later sold for a good profit. The F. F. A. had their annual banquet in the spring, and some of the members participated in the Sectional and State contests. We had thirty-five members this year. The oflicers were: president, Dick Miller, vice-president, Lowell Thompsong secretary, Jim Manley, treasurer, Robert Eddingtong reporter, Minor VanBrookerg sentinel, Duane Thompson. 's..

On the night of December 4 the students and teachers assembled on the school yard for the big bonfire. The cheerleaders lead the group in several cheers along with the school song. Pep talks were given by the basketball boys. After the fire had burned low the group formed in a long line for the snake dance. The group proceeded uptown and visited all the places of busi- ness that were open. On the morning of the 5th all the students were busy fixing organization and class floats for the afternoon parade. First place was given to the F. H. A. with the senior and freshman floats tying for second place. g The highlight of the evening was the basketball game between the Au- gusta Redskins and the Plymouth Blackhawks. Following the ball game the big event was the crowning of Della Faye Smith as Homecoming Queen. She was presented with a gift from the Student Council. After the crowning ceremony, round and square dancing were enjoyed by all.
