1 Agriculture Club 1 irplane Club The Agriculture Club's most impor- tant project was a Pest Drive which was very helpful to the community. Under the leader- ship of Mr. Howk- inson, the club has taken several field trips, among them being one to the In- ternational Stock Show at Chicago and one to the In- diana State Fair. The aim of this club is to develop interest in aeronautics by making models of airplanes and visiting vari- ous airports. The club purchased a small motor to make experiments. It has also had various speakers to in- terest the boys in this field.
