The Future Farmers ' organization is a national organization of high school students in vocational agriculture. Its program is developed for an entire year and is not limited to the school term. In the summer the members went to Indianapolis where they visited the State Farm Bureau offices and plant, and Lieutenant-Governor Schricker at the State House. The chief event of our year is the Jasper County Corn Show, which we sponsored. It was held in November under the leadership of Rogers Amsler, Ray Smith, Paul Zimmer, and Paul Branson. Robert Jacks was toastmaster at the concluding banquet. Elmer Phegley and Howard Bruce were our delegates to the State Conven- tion at Purdue on June 12-14. Henry Amsler and Austin Moore were awarded the coveted Hoosier Farmer degree and gold key at the State Convention. Only ten other members in the entire state were recipients of these honors.

Hi-Y One of the prime prerequisites of a lasting building is a solid foundation. The purpose of the Rensselaer Hi-Y is to give its members the advantage of a sound foundation by the development of Christian character. The Hi-Y was reorganized this year under the leadership of Mr. Holt. Al- though much of the time of the club was used for reorganization purposes, the Hi-Y accomplished many worthwhile projects. For the first time in the history of the Rensselaer Hi-Y club a formal initiation was held. The Hi-Y club from Wheeler was in charge of the program and con- ducted it very efficiently and interestingly. The club gave baskets at Christmas, and sponsored a Thanksgiving program. Richard Hoshaw and Robert Brown were sent to the State Hi-Y conference at Danville and gave a very interesting report of the proceedings to the club upon their return. President . .

Dolly Madison Club The object of the Dolly Madison Club is to develop appreciation, interest, and knowledge of home economics. This year fifty-eight members cooperated in making it a very successful club. A party was given for our grandmothers at Christmas to bring cheer to the elderly ladies. A Spring Dance was given with the money obtained from spon- soring a movie at the Ritz Theater. A Future Farmers Party was also given in the spring. Annually a party is given for the club members who are being graduated. Jeannette Randle and Ruth Bertsch represented the club at the State Home Economics Convention at Indianapolis in October.
