With several other F. F. A. groups they presented monthly radio programs. They also were entered in a b-roadcasting contest over radio station KMBC with 19 Missouri and Kansas F. F. A. chapters. One of the main goals of the chapter this year has been to raise money to attend the National F. F. A. Camp at Washington, D. C. this summer. Card parties, a minstrel show, and a farm machinery sale helped to raise this fund. From the machinery sale alone 563.50 was earned. V At the twelfth annual Parents Banquet there- was an attendance of 180 persons. Shawnee-Mission was host to the OfHcers' F. F. A. Training school for all eastern Kansas chapters. This was the ninth year' for this institution. s - Conrad Flinn, Albert Van Walleghan, and Mr. H. D. Garver, adviser, appeared in a color picture on the cover of the national publication, Successful Farming. The pic- ture was accompanied by a 3000 word article about the Shawnee-Mission chapter and its activities. This year marked the first time that an official F. F. A. scrapbook has been maintained and Hlled with material for the state report. Seed testing, lawn improvement, and poultry theft prevention are a few of the services rendered the community by the F. F. A. The F. F. A. basketball team played five games this year. Two of these were victories- one over Olathe and the other over Belton, Missouri. Three were losses-two to Lawrence and one to Olathe.
