 Jutux£ Jarni£’Li of z fmz’ii.ca The fifteen year old local chapter of Future Farmers of America is made up of boys enrolled in vocational agriculture and voluntary members, all of whom have met membership requirements. Advancement through the four grades of membership: Green Hands, Chapter Farmer, State Farmer, and American Farmer, is contingent on definite accomplishments with respect to farming, earnings, investments, leadership, and scholarship. Twenty-five members belonged to the chapter this year and were directed by Ted Plummer, President. To promote greater interest in small-bore shooting and to develop patriotism among high school students is the purpose of the Ranch's Rifle Club. Safety is the important factor in handling guns as gun accidents do not happen, they are caused. The club motto is: We must overcome carelessness with discipline and ignorance with education. Mr. C. L. Taylor and Mr. R. R. Bruce of the Missoula Rifle Association and The Garden City Rifle Association, with the support of the Board of Education have made the Rifle Club possible. future snipers .. .

 tclcjZ Closely connected with the Thespians are the stage screws, for without them no play could be produced. Members are manager Fred Lerch, electrician Dale Searight, and Bob Cameron, Walter Kramis, Dick Bacon, Tom Roberts, Dick Webb and Emmett West. Fred Lerch has his Thespian emblem and five stars, representing in all 600 hours of back stage work. These boys build all stage sets, work back stage on assemblies and regulate all lights. The beautiful lighting affects achieved during the Christmas Cantata were due to the work of the stage screws. Theirs is a job that doesn't get the publicity of the actors', nor the prestige of the director's, but is as necessary as either of these. . . . Richard III
