STAMP CLUB The stamp club was organized in 1938 by a group of students who were interested in stamp collecting as a hobby. These future collectors desired to have a chance to collect samples of the various stamp issues and because of this interest formed an organization new to West Salem High School. The club is using the book, “America’s Story As Told in Postage Stamps.” This book telling about commemorative American Stamps serves as material for special topics at the regular meetings. These meetings are held twice a month. Members also exchange stamps and look up the histories concerning certain varieties. A collection of stamps was shown at the annual school exhibit. The officers of the club are: Truman Stelloh, president: Kobert Dickroger. secretary and treasurer; and Ruby Rhodes as program chairman. At present there are twelve members in the club.

FUTURE HOME MAKERS OF AMERICA There is no problem, either within the home or school that is more important than achieving right and happy human relationships. The modern Home Economics training strives to help each girl solve this problem in her own experience. The courses in homemaking as offered in the high school give each girl practical work in clothing construction, dress design, and foods. Not only do they study clothing construction and foods, but by the demonstration method are given actual work in the various fields. The outgrowth of the Home Economics Department led to the Home Economics Clubs. The Home Economics Clubs have been organized into joint organizations throughout America and are now known as the Future Homemakers of America. The candlelight service was used for initiating eleven new members to the club. The initiation was very impressive with the officers dressed in colored robes. A historian was elected this year for the purpose of keeping the Home Economics Club news collected. The club sponsored a Bake Sale and also served Hot Lunches during the winter months. The F. F. A. and the Home Ec. (dub exchanged parties which were enjoyed by the groups.

A four year course helps the boys receive a much needed background which is necessary for successful farming operations. A new course of study for farm boys which is designed to give a broad survey of general agriculture in the Freshman year was offered last fall by the department. Formerly, the course of study for Freshmen was limited to field crops. Linder the new course, students taking only one year of agriculture will find the course well balanced and worth while and will have a good background for advance study if they choose to take the full four year course. In the Sophomore, Junior and Senior yeai more concentrated problems of field crops, live stock and farm management are offered and new subjects are introduced. To supplement the usual class work the boys of the department have formed a chapter of the National Organization, the Future Farmers of America. Yearly various judging teams are organized which compete at the annual state judging contest at Madison. This year out of approximately 225 competing teams, the meat team placed second with Wilfred Hemker gaining the distinction of being the best student judge of meat in the state. James Holey placed seventh in meat judging and Maynard Meyer placed fourth in the poultry judging contest. Of the other teams that competed, the Meat and Poultry teams were rated superior, the Potatoe team was rated good, and the Dairy Products and Dairy Cattle teams were given creditable mention. The boys have been very active in project work and last summer they showed five carload of swine at the State Fair and brought home over a thousand dollars in premiums. They also perform services for the surrounding community, by holding rural judging contell- for rural grade school children and by demonstrations to farmers in the improvement of their crops and livestock. Agricultural education pays. Farming has made more progress in the last century than in all the centuries man has tilled the soil. This is due to the fact that modern farmers are better educated and better served by the products of scientific skill.
