Service Club Acting as oliicial representatives of the student body, Service Club members han- dled ticket-selling at all home games. New jackets of royal purple identified students willing to serve South in this capacity, which demanded considerable time and effort. The group ushered at such events as swim meets and the district wrestling tournament. Highlighting club activities were fund-raising projects for the under- privileged children of Eugene, a Christmas party, and the annual coast trip in May. President was Mark Dickinsong advisers, Richard Embree and George Petersen. .-4 Diva, ,, During rare winter snowfall in Eugene urea the FFA club observes management nrachces at member Janet McCornocks farm

FHA Exploring the many aspects of home eco- nomics as a career was the major aim of the Future Homemakers Club. Local and professional home economists brought knowledge and advice to members in in- teresting talks. In November, 90 girls traveled to the home economics depart- ment at Oregon State University. Other trips were taken to local bakeries and de- partment stores. Members participated in informative social hours and worked on such projects as barbecues and candy sales. Sponsoring a combination tea and style show at Christmas, and a second one in May to review spring styles, the FHA also took Part in awarding a scholarship at the state level. Led by Carolyn Ras- mussen, the club was advised by Mrs. Betty Wormington. FFA Developing leadership, cooperation, and citizenship were the primary goals of the Future Farmers of America. With a sub- stantial yearly budget of over 551000, this organization enjoyed a wide variety of activities. Field trips included an afternoon at the Eugene Fruit Growers Cannery, a day touring ranches and farms to learn good management practices, and a week- end trip, conducted by Oregon State University, to observe eastern Oregon agriculture. Lectures by the state FFA president, a farm equipment dealer, bank- ers, and a representative from a finance company were heard. The action taken by this year's club to abolish the traditional no girls allowed code became the sub- ject of widespread controversy in FFA chapters around the state. Under the able leadership of President Eldon Townsend and Adviser Kenneth Noteboom, the Fu- ture Farmers helped many interested stu- dents in their work toward careers in agriculture.
