F.F.A. This year the FFA had 21 members with Mr. Westfall as our advisor. As money making projects during the year, we conducted two scrap drives, sold seed corn, checked coats at the Farm Bureau Banquet, and held a successful dance. We won a bronze award in the parlimentary procedure contest. We had very successful judging teams as one of our projects. Ross FFA had a contest with West Chester in the pest hunt, but we were unlucky and lost. Our FFA-FHA Banquet was very enjoyable. We are looking forward to many more successful years in the future. HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society of Ross School was locally founded in 1946. Its members consist of juniors and Seniors only. At the end of senior year 1595 of the Senior students are qualified to be in this organization. The qualihcations for membership are scholarship, leadership, character, and service to the school and community. Students are chosen for these qualities at a closed faculty meeting. Later the chosen students are tapped by the members of the Honor Society in an assembly. The annual Honor Society banquet was held April 22 in the Ross auditorium. All of the Honor Society alumni were invited. Dr. Walter Crewson was our speaker. DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club was organized to promote interest in public speaking. Member- ship is open to students from grades 9-12. At the meetings, which are held during the regularly scheduled club periods, programs are presented by members of the club. A play, Love Hits Wilbur, was given several times for various organizations. Our meetings are brought to a close by the serving of refreshments. BAND The Ross School Band for 1949-50 included thirty-eight members, ably directed by our Stanley Lee Rowland. One of the outstanding activities for the year was learning to march. We demonstrated our ability along this line at several football and basketball games. We were asked to perform at the Butler County Tournament. A benefit show was given to raise money to secure new uniforms. The Band Club was organized for this same purpose. The officers for the year were as follows: President .,.. ,... ..,.,... ...,,.,.,. ...., . , , .,.,,. V ernon Lewis Vice President ..,...,..,. ..,. ..,... ,..... ,.......

Y-TEENS We have had a good staff of officers this year. They are as follows. joan Engel Iimogene Burns Margie Andes Betty Franzmann Program Chairman . . Jeannette McCalley ' .. . Miss Helen Lindsey Mrs. julia Wildmari Miss Margaret Etter President ....... ..,, ..., ..., ...., .... . ..,.. ,.,.. ..,. . , . . . . . . Vice President . ......, .... . . , Secretary ,..,, .. ., . Treasurer .,.,..,..,..i.,.,.. . . . . . , Advisors ..., .. .....i.. ,. We sponsored one of the first dances of the year and it was a huge success. The director of the Y-Teens at the Y.W.C.A. came and visited one of our meetings. The opportunity was given to all Y-Teen members to go swimming and bowling at the Y.W.C.A. We gave a very impressive Christmas assembly with Y-Teens participating. Two members went as our representatives to an Old Southern Style dinner at the Y.W.C.A. which honored Y-Teen advisors and presidents. As our service project for the year, we contributed also to the polio fund. On the whole, in the Y-Teens we have learned how to live and work better together in today's confusing world. DOUBLE SEXTET For the first time the F.H.A. formed a double sextet from its membership. This group has enjoyed singing together and has added interest to programs in school and in the community. We took part in a P.T.A. meeting by dressing in gay ninety costumes and singing several old songs. We gave a repeat performance of this at a birthday luncheon in Venice. It was possible for us to journey to Hanover and participate in the regional meeting. There have been several splendid opportunities given us which most of us would never have gotten otherwise. One of the most important was the opportunity to sing on the radio. Not all of our performances have been on the humorous side for we have also done some serious numbers. The fifteenth of April we will enter a contest at Miami as a girls' chorus. In it we will do our best. The F.H.A. has been very generous in buying new music for us and we hope we are worthy of the effort they have put forth to obtain it for us. GIRL SCOUTS We started the year off with a sleepout. We cooked all our meals outdoors. We also went on a bicycle hike and liayride. fThese activities helped us earn the Rambler Badge and Cyclist Badge.j We went on a cookout in Hamilton, also. We elected Marjorie Crane and jill Wilson to be on the Girl Scout Council for the first three months, and Mary Lewis and Nancy jo Burns went the next three months. We etched glasses and gave them to our mothers for Christmas. We visited a glass cutting shop in Hamilton to observe the process of glass cutting. It was very interesting. These activities helped us earn the Glass Badge. We kept charts of weather conditions for a month and used these as a basis for pre- dicting the weather for another month. This helped us earn the Weather Badge. We attended the Girl Scout Concert. The junior High School Scouts had another cookout and learned to tie knots. The sixth grade Girl Scouts had some cookouts, too. They earned several badges including the Hostess, My Troop, Fold Dancer, and Cyclist Badges. Both groups attended the two skating parties. We also participated in the cookie sale and theater party. We are planning an exhibition for the Girl Scout Exhibition. We are also planning the program for the May P.T.A. meeting.
