Warrensburg Community High School FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The boys have taken many interesting trips this year Including one to the International Livestock Exposition at Chicago, the largest sheep yards in the world at Aurora, and the Brookfield Zoo near Chicago. Then, too, a number of pure bred swine and cattle sales were included on the program. Three of the members drove out to Ottumwa and Des Koines, Iowa, where they purchased some Duroc-Jersey foundation animals. Some splendid swine projects are in progress at present. All project animals are owned and cared for by the boys themselves. Five major breeds of swine are owned by the Warrensburg F. F. A. boys and every animal regardless of breed or sex represents the best of breeding and the most popular present-day bloodlines. The Annual Father and Son Banquet, the highlight of F. F. A. activities was enjoyed on April twenty-second. As a climax to this year's work, the organization is planning to take a camping trip to the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. BIOLOGY CLUB Biological research, a profound love of life, and a deep interest in living things prompted the organization of this club. The insect collection has been increased, and a number of skeletons are being prepared for mounting. It is the aim of the club to have a specimen skeleton of each of the common rodents and small animals found in this locality. From time to time animals are preserved and added to the museum which is nicely started. Then, too, field trips are an Important activity of the organization. A week-end camping trip is planned so that the group may study the flora and fauna of a region in their natural habitat. One of the highlights this spring is a trip to the St. Louis Zoo and Botanical Gardens. The most cherished hope of all is that of attending The Wild Life School at McGregor, Iowa during the first twelve days in August. There a most unusual opportunity is afforded to study birds, animals, and plants under the guidance of world-renowned authorities in their respective fields. Periodically, oral reports are given on various phases of Biology which Introduce the students to new fields of life and its ramifications. A timely project is being considered at present—that of making a combination semi-formal garden and bird sanctuary. H§ »» THE CARDINAL
