FFA boys sell drinks and candy to hungry Vandal fans during the halftimes. 55 This year was a very active year for the members of F.H.A. and their sponsor, Mrs. Schupp. Dur- ing the summer and early fall the girls got into the spirit of prepar- ing for the North Central Evalua- tion. They bought green curtains and colorful furniture for the liv- ing center. At football and basket- ball games, these girls were busy making and selling popcorn to the hungry fans. ln March the Annual Mother-and-Daughter Banquet was held. Under the superb leadership of Mr. Grinnell, the F.F.A. mem- bers not only learned many differ- ent ideas of farming but also promoted worthwhile school pro- jects. They were constantly busy at the concession stand during games selling candy, hot dogs, coke, and coffee. The annual chili supper in February was a big suc- cess. Then in March the members prepared a delicious dinner for their parents. During the evening Mr. Grinnell presented awards for outstanding work throughout the year. Moving and cleaning was a task that the members of D.E. and their sponsor, Mr. Finn, accom- plished this year. The club moved to the new vocational building where better facitilites were pro- vided. The halls were brightened with advertisements in the display cases which they changed once a month. The displays were fur- nished by various businesses in the area. Learning new methods of business helped the members persuade the students to buy Tom Watt articles, candy, wastebas- kets, and Christmas candles.

Sweet sounds filled the chorus room three times each week when the girls met eighth hour. With Mrs. Grinnell as their director, the members brought enjoyment and the spirit of Christmas to the audience at the Cantata. Dressed in white blous- es and red maxi-skirts, the girls enhanced thejoyful event. In the annual spring concert, harmoni- ous voices made it apparent that spring had come. Love of music was what made the Boys' Chorus successful. Twice a week the boys met dur- ing homeroom and sang both popular and classical songs. Along with Special Chorus, these boys made up the Mixed Choir. On the spring tour to Casey and Ramsey, four male soloists entertained with num- bers which included spirituals and contemporary rock.
