'T INf7P'x' Pep C0 DEVILS GO! GO DEVILS GO! The roar of 62 v0iCeS yelling in unison, the thrill of 62, girls in white skirts and blue blouses standing and singing when the Pep Band plays Three Cheers for Wayne High --that's the Blue Devilettes! The Pep Club always bolstered the team with yells whether they were playing at home or in Lincoln or Omaha. Cheerleaders this year were Marian Kugler, Sondra Haas, Donna Carlson, Karen Schmitz, and Janet Ingalls. Some of the activities of -the Pep Club have been putting on pep rallies featuring clever skits written by various members of the group, yelling in the halls on game days, advertising the game by making posters and writing on the boards, decorating the stadium and the goal posts, and giving a banquet for the athletic teams at the end ofthe season. Business meetings were held on Mondays at four o'clock. Rodney Tietsort and Barbara Buehner were crowned King and Queen respectively of the annual Grid Dance sponsored by the Pep Club at the close of the football season. Ns.

F .F .A. Courses in vocational agriculture were started in the United States in 1917. From the very beginning the boys who were enrolled in these courses in the various states felt a spirit of comradeship due to their background of country life and their desires with regard to farming as a vocation. Within a few years a number of local departments of vocational agriculture in most of the states had developed so-called Agricultural Clubs, the membership being composed of the students of vocational agriculture. These clubs, under the guidance of enterprising local teachers, marked the first expression of students of vocational agriculture to band together and do things in an organ- ized way. ln 1928 the first F.F.A. Convention was held. They drew up the constitutions, purposes, and ceremonies at this meeting. F.F'.A. Chapters are found in all 4.8 states, Hawaii, and Purto Rico. Similar organizations are found in several foreign countries. I There are 8,400 chapters in the United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico with a total membership of 350,000 young boys. Nebraska was the sixth state to have Vocational Agriculture. 'Today there are 136 high SCl100lS in Nebraska that have Vocational Agriculture. The F.F.A. in Wayne was started in 1945 with 10 members. They were Claude Harder, Marvin Echtenkamp, Bob Penn, Holland Victor, Gene Frederickson, Roy Ronnfeldt, Jerry Ash, Loren Willers, Ralph Biermann, and Merlin Biermann. Today the membership of the Wayne F.F.A. Chap- ter is 28. For activities the chapter has a gilt chain with three registered gilts. Agriculture boys take soil tests and run germination tests on seeds. During the Christmas Season the Chapter sells Christmas cards in the community. In September the chapter attended a livestock show in Wisner, and in November we went to Schuyler to the District Leadership Conference. On March 6 we went to Pender to the District F'.F.A. Parliamentary Procedure and Creed Speaking Contest. The State Vocational Agriculture Convention and Judging Contest were held during the first week of April. The Chapter sponsored a parent-son banquet the last part of March. Coralyn Price was chosen F'.F'.A. Sweetheart. 7 A BACK ROW: fleft to rightj Harvey Mohlfeld, Earl Fuoss, Ferris Meyer, Darrel Hanson, Richard Paulson, Geralld1dKniesche, Don Schulz, Harlan Ruwe, Merle Roeber, Larry Westerman, Valerius Meyer, Larry Heit o .

At basket- ball games, ice cream bars and carmel apples are offered in place of coffee and taverns. This year the Devilettes purchased the blue jackets, a Frank Bank for cooking hot dogs, and helped the W Club buy their time clock.
