F. F. A FFA Officers: L. to R.: Jerome Blackstad, Burton Lofgren, Myron Engel, Richard Hunstad, Dewey Sandmeyer, Marlyn Sieg, Phillip Moody, and Mr. Bonzer adviser. Future Farmers of America LEARNING TO DO DOING TO LEARN EARNING TO LIVE LIVING TO SERVE Under the guidance of our new vocational agriculture teacher, Mr. Bonzer, the FFA immediately became an active organization in school ... so far we have kept it exclusively for the masculine gender . . . Our activities are many and even spread into the summer months, when many of us will attend the state FFA summer camp, and at the end of the summer our hard work with our livestock projects may pay dividends at the State Fair . . . At least many of us are hope- fully anticipating blue ribbons . . . Nevertheless, we know that all the hard work we are doing now as future farmers of America will make us the better farmers of tomorrow. FFA Members: D. Johnson, L. Sandmeyer, N. Hovdet, M.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Row 1 Left to right: Roberta Stradtman, Phyllis Hovden, Sandra Petterson, Kathleen Crosgrove. Row 2. Eleanor Ritz, Deanna Schutz. Virginia Seagren. Peggy Woehrle. Wanda Arnolds. Alice Wilson. Julia Jordahl, Mary James. Row 3. Dick Ouren. Grant North, Bob Yock. David Johnson. Putting on our first class play really made us feel like junior s . . . . MISTER CO-ED proved to be hilarious off stage as wellason . . . .Those week night re- hearsals were tiring, but oh, so much fun . . . .Roberta supplied candy for everyone and new track stars were dis- covered in the sprints around the audi- torium ... .It was wonderful to have actual furniture instead of using your imagination with folding chairs . . . . Now, You Listen to Me! Skip lassoed every girl in the place to meet their dates . . . .Weren't some of the make-up jobs a scream? You wondered whose face that was looking back at you in the mirrors ! . . .Our first performance found us biting our nails but everything worked out fine . . . .You can still hear the audience roaring when dainty, petite Lotus made her ap- pearance. Dave was the best dressed woman of 1925. . . .Remember the co- eds clad in those fetching Grecian tunics chasing little zephyrs along an imagi- nary beach? Bob's knickers displayed his manly extremities and wasn't his black eye a magnificent creation? . . . . Miss Hayworth's glasses just wouldn't stay where they belonged . . . .Anyone wanting a fine, strong, healthy body saw Virginia . . . .Wanda's poetry stirred us so deeply . . . .We'll all remember our fir st play, the work, the good times, the wonderful cooperation of Miss Swan- son and the hard working backstage crews. All this made MISTER CO-ED a big success. 17
