Even potaJoes can be fa cinoting in Ag. Mr. Efickson Diverse Talent Is Shown Art is truly a gift of life that should be de- veloped by those who possess it. Whether sketching, water color and oil paint- ing, or sculpturing, art is a rewarding way to express personalities as many students have dis- covered. Outstanding works were often displayed in the front hall, and students a.ssisted with props for various .school activities. Enthusiastic rooters used the art room for painting .signs, too. Farming Studied In Detail Instruction in agriculture involves soil testing and analysis, studies in agronomy, livestock, and modern farm methods, besides the practical ex - perience and knowledge that is gained from ac- tual trips to the field where the science of agri- culture is studied in detail. Activities included preparations for livestock judging that will take place during the summer months. The agricultural program offered pro- vides a well-rounded course for farm enthusiasts.

The Gift of Courage is one not subject to being given — it must be earned. Yet it is supremely worth the effort, for hfe without courage is both flavorless and pointless. It takes courage to look for the right thing to do, and then do what is right instead of following the crowd . It takes courage to overcome obstacles in life, but each triumph develops greater strength, and each failure magnifies weakness. It takes courage to set desirable goals and standards for oneself, even more desirable goals and standards for oneself, and even more to work consistently toward the achievement to those aims. When a person has the moral strength to resist the taunts, chicken! by his so-called friends, he has started to Hve the courageous Ufe. C. A. Thompson E. B. Piper Assistant Principal :28® . The expression It is more blessed to give than to receive, may have little meaning for us when we are in our youth. As we mature socially, physically, and spiritually we begin to realize the potential of this great statement. We find that gifts are not always wrapped in packages decorated in bright ribbons, but the most precious gift may take the form of a serv- ice rendered, an act of kindness, a smile, or maybe a note or a work of appreciation for a job well done when none is required or ex- pected. We all possess within us great gifts as consideration for others, tolerance, grati- tude, respect, and love. Give of them freely and they will be returned to you one hundred fold. Emary B. Piper
