This theme is fulfilled by planning early in the summer for the activities of the Warren chapter. The year's adventures started with a family picnic at the Canyon early in the summer. This was followed by a Big Sister Day, a new venture that began with a cookout fol- lowed by a trip to the high school to meet Mr. Lip- ovac and to tour the building. Another new venture added men and boys as models in the annual style show. The models in- cluded six F.F.A. Senior boys, six F.H.A. Senior girls, three mothers, one father, and two teachers. Fashions from Milady's and Schuetzes of Monroe were modeled. Other projects for the year included the Unicef Trost, M. Peacock, S. Brown, P. McGloin, D. arc! New Horizons’ skit and collection, the Care collection at Christ- mas, and the treat plates for the nursing homes. Among the many interesting speakers for the year was one of our members, an AFS student, Susan Bourquin, who gave an interesting talk on her stay in Turkey. Mary Blair and Nancy Rowe were the delegates who attended the State Leadership Conference at Normal, Illinois. New friends, ideas, and goals were brought back for the Warren chapter. The officers of Section 23 are Nancy Rowe, First Vice-President, and Maeline Peacock, incoming officer. Mrs. Robert Rowe served as Chapter Mother and Mrs. Vernon Vondra as Chapter Grandmother. The F.H.A. is advised by Mrs. Balbach. 26

F. F.A. Celebrates Its 40th Anniversary The F.F.A. officers live to serve. Delegates from the Warren Chapter of Future Farmers participated in the 40th Anniversary of the F.F.A. at its National Convention at Kansas City. A telegram congratulating the F.F.A. from President Johnson and an address by President-Elect Nixon highlighted the special event. The activities of the F.F.A. are outlined in the Program of Work. Some of the committees are: Supervised Farming; Scholarship; Recreation; Earn- ings and Savings; Leadership; and State and National Activities. In the spring, the chapter held its annual Parent- Son Banquet at which outstanding members received awards for their achievements. A year-round project of the chapter was the Corn Plot where experiments to compare different farming techniques were conducted on nine acres of land. F.F.A. meetings are conducted by the President, Howard Sincox; Vice-President, Art Scheele; Sec- retary, Jim Vondra; Treasurer, Terry Lancaster; Re- porter, Jerry Winter; and Sentinel, Wilbur Stiefel. They are supervised by Mr. Reynolds. F.H.A. and F.F.A. worked hand and hand.
