Sixty-one girls were enrolled in the chapter which met the first Monday of each month. In June, 1950, six girls attended the state convention at Green Lake. At this convention, Mary Buol was elected state vice-president of District Three. Other girls represented at the convention were Betsy Eckert, Marilyn Slosser, and Mary Knutson, who played a flute trio; and Mimi Eckert and Catherine Nuttelman, previous state officer and delegate, respectively. One of the highlights of the fall activities was the district rally at Holmen in October. Eighteen girls, the Chapter Mother, and Miss Ruth Johnson attended the rally. At this rally, Marilyn Miller, Marilyn Slosser, Betsy Eckert, and Elaine Meier gave a skit explaining the degrees of achievement. During FHA Week, November twelfth to the eighteenth, the chapter carried out various plans to advertise its organization. The outstanding events were the FFA-FHA banquet, the all-school tea, and the assembly program, in which the girls explained the history and meaning of FHA. On Sunday roses were placed in all the churches, and during the entire week there was a clothing display in a store window downtown. Cooperating with the FFA, the chapter sponsored the annual Christmas mixer in December and the third annual Coulee Region Harvest Festival. In January, twenty-two girls were initiated into the FHA at a candlelight ceremony. Other activities included a Mother-Daughter Banquet, and a style revue in the spring. President . .

Led by the instructor of Vocational Agriculture, NormanN. Rowe, the FFA department achieved highest honors for its livestock exhibits at the Wisconsin State Fair last summer. Highlighting its year of prosperity, the West Salem FFA meat team represented Wisconsin as state champions at the American Livestock show in Kansas City. Team members were Morris Meyer, Ronald Schild, and William Schomberg. The team placed in the GoldEmblem Award group, which is the highest conferment in this national contest.
