F. H. A. Once again the West Salem School has an active F.H.A. organization. Forty girls are enrolled in this chapter which held meetings every third Friday. The accomplishments and activities of the club are educational and varied. Several talks by people from various fields of work were presented before the group. Educational field trips to various places of interest in La Crosse were found to be lots of fun. An impressive Christmas mixer was sponsored by the F.H.A. and F.F.A. During the holiday season the chapter entertained at a Christmas tea and style show for mothers. In spite of the hard work everyone agreed that playing hostess to a district rally was lots of fun. To raise money, the F.H.A. sponsored a sale of home made articles at a PTA meeting. Hot dogs were also sold at the basketball tournament. As the chapter is affiliated with the state and national F.H.A. organization, its motto is Toward New Horizons. President Vice-president Secretary Treasurer Historian..... Adviser Dorothy Knutson Ardith Sprain Elverda Johnson Rosemary Raymer Donna Vruwink Miss Margaret Cox The West Salem Ag. department is directed not only toward teaching the boys the fundamentals of the business of farming but also toward teaching them to appreciate and utilize the rights, responsibilities, and opportunities that farm life offers them. Proving that theory put into practice really yields success, these boys won ninety-five ribbons with a total premium of $1,366 at the Wisconsin State Fair. At the La Crosse Inner-State Fair, the Ag. boys won six Grand Champion ribbons and many others in addition. Dickie Miller won the distinction of exhibiting the Grand Champion Barrow at the Northwest Livestock Exposition. Later, the Barrow was sold at a public auction for $1.50 a pound. Other exhibitors also brought home their share of ribbons. All farm practices such as pruning trees, grafting trees, controlling pests, testing soil, testing milk, treating seed potatoes, fitting livestock, docking and castrating lambs, caponizing poultry, marking pigs, cutting wolf teeth, showing livestock, keeping records, repairing farm tools, constructing equipment, and splicing ropes are included in the training of the Ag. boys. Despite the many projects carried on by this department, they are always ready to help in any activity bearing on agriculture. Many a farmer has reason to thank this department, and many a farm home is better equipped because of this department's work. Rendering continuous practical service to the community is its chief aim. However, All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. The F.F.A. works hand in hand with the Ag. department—-provides play for these boys. Kittenball and basketball provide an exciting pastime at their meetings. To highlight their activities they plan to take another trip this summer. May these future farmers be builders of the better world to come. F. F. President Vice-president Secretary........ Treasurer Athletic director Sergeant-at-arms Alvin Miller William Schomberg Donavan Glennie Ervin Nuttleman Dickie Miller Walter Horstman c H O R U S The voices of forty girls and boys make up this year's mixed chorus. At the Christmas program they presented Merry Christmas Bells, White Christmas, and Silent Niqht. The lack of boys' voices has resulted in qivinq the higher tenor parts to the second altos. These girl tenors have done well. Throughout the year this choral group had as accompanists: Donna Jean Vruwink, Donna Knudson, Carol Rhodes, and Bonnie Wilcox The chorus is looking forward to the music festival in the spring.
