The Future Farmers of America have again had a very eventful year and have brought more honors to our school. The livestock judging team deserves a great deal of recognition for its outstanding achievements this past year. Winning first in the county contest, they went to the dis- trict, placing second. It seems that they were due for a drop, because they fell to thirteenth at the Purdue Round-up. The real thrill came when the team went to Indianapolis and placed first in the state contest. The boys and coach were all smiles as they came home with their electric clocks and fountain pens. The team then ended its livestock judging career by plac- ing fifth in the national contest at Chicago. The FFA boys again sold pop at all home basketball games. Also they increased their treasury considerably by selling subscriptions to THE FARM QUARTERLY. Too, the chapter div- ided itself into two teams for a pest contest. The winning team enjoyed a fish dinner at the expense of the losing one. Bottom row, L. to R.: Julian Bell, vice pres.; Rolland Crow, pres.; Dale Long, sec.

The 1953-54 season has found the Rossville Sunshine Society, in one of its busiest years. Two girls attended state SSS camp last June. On October 19 the society traveled to Zionsville to install a new Sunshine Society. They also initiated thirty-four members into the R. H. S. so- ciety, which now has a total membership of ninety-six. A large group attended the district convention at Lebanon and the state convention at Wabash. The girls gave a Silver Tea to celebrate the Silver Anniversary of R. H. S. Sunshine and in the spring a Mother-Daughter Tea was given with the installation of new officers. The girls, under the guidance of Mrs. Crum, spread Sunshine into the lives of others by helping the county societies buy a TV light and coffee urn for the Parkview home at Frank- fort, sending cards and gifts to the sick and needy, giving Christmas treats to grades 1-6, and contributing to the Riley Fund, a state project. They also purchased a new flag and help- ed pay for a new magazine rack for the school assembly. The cabinet was made up of Kay Barn- hart, Maralee Brenneman, Barbara Good, Pat Finney, Clara Reed, and Sylvia Gushwa. Marcia Salmon sold candy and Linda Ottinger, Patricia Coleman, and Trudy George were responsible for the sale of ice cream during the noon hours And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. — I Corinthians 13:13 L. to R.: Carolyn Miller, treas.; Sue Kingery, cor. sec.; Mi Ellen Harshbarger, pres.; Janet Moore, rec. sec.; Carolyn B vice pres.
