THE GALLEON One ship sailed east And one sailed west By the self same wind that blew. ,T is the set of the sail ' And not the gale that Determines the way one goes. Evidently the sails of the good ship Galleon were set in the right direction for under the guidance of Captain Katherine Turner and with the helpful assistance of first mate Gloria Moser everything went well. The well-chosen crew did their work graciously. Our girls' sports editor, Elena Olsen and boys' sports editors, Bill Cheatley and Lloyd Carlson, are to be commended for their work. When our feature editor, Barbara Knutson and joke editor, Howard Wangsness, got together they cooked up some juicy news which was very in- teresting to all of us. The Galleon covers were artistically arranged by Jackie Isom. Our other capable reporters were Bette Burrill, Phyllis Miller, and Beat- rice Hansen. We give thanks to the typists. Mary Lou Haugstad and many of the staff members assisted a great deal. Mimeographers Ted Knutson, and Curtis Fuller did their work faithfully and well. Last but far from least, we salute our adviser, Miss Kipp-erberg for her helpful assistance, without which, little would have been accomplished. Katherine Turner .. 32 -

F F. F. A. The Agriculture classes have done a number of things this year. Agricul- ture I started the year with the planning of their projects. They have studied the culling of chickens, dairy, hogs, and rope Work. Besides this they have made several articles in the wood shop. The sophomore class has studied plants and soil. A soil testing kit was very helpful in their Work, as it enabled them to determine the soil fertility. They have also Worked in the metal shop, each boy completing some major project. The class is now building a chicken house for one of its members. A buzz saw, Wheelbarrows, trailers, and a feed cart are among the things made by the Agriculture III and IV classes in the metal shop. The freshman members of the F. F. A. were initiated last fall into the de- gree of Greenhands. This spring the Agriculture II and East Stanwood boys were initiated into the degree of Future Farmers. In April at the State F. F. A. meeting in Pullman, Clyde Ellingsen was initiated into the degree of State Farmer. Last year the F. F. A. raised three crops: peas, which netted them one hun- dred dollarsg spinach, one hundred and twelve dollars, and potatoes, one hun- dred and eighteen dollars.
