Chenoweth The Future Farmers of America is an organization composed of boys who wish to make life worthwhile through efficient labor for livelihood, the love of learning and the willing service to humanity. To the rural youth of the nation, who are seeking to prepare and perfect themselves for service through the organization of Future Farmers of America, is addressed this motto as embodying the true vocational spirit: Learning to do, Doing to learn; Earning to live. Living to serve. The high school course in vocational agriculture is especially designed for the training of boys preparing for the vocation of farming. The boys learn by doing through direct participation in the activities of the class room, laboratory, shop, barnyard, farm home and in the field. The old approved and well established farming procedures, supplemented by the newer scientific methods in crop production, animal husbandry, farm mechanics and general farm manage- ment are studied and put into practice by the future farmers enrolled in this course. A long time project program is encouraged for each member of the organization. This enables the vocationally minded boy to prepare himself for the future vocation of farming by the time he completes his high school education. The officers of the Westfield Future Farmers Chapter are: President---------———Harold Hillmer Vice President----------------Keith Quinn Secretary--------------------Bob Wobschal Treasurer---------------------Lacy DeWitt Reporter----------------- Donald McClyman Farm Watch Dog-------------------Joey Tgms 24

They are not only singers, these members of the Girls Glee club; they are also workers toward pleasing voices and pleasant personalities. In their vocalizing exer- cises and in their singing they are also gaining a lasting sense of harmony—One of the most satisfying talents to have. The Glee club has contributed quite a bit toward making school life more enjoyable. Mrs. Kerst, under whose supervision the girls worked the first semester, directed them in a medley of patriotic and war songs for an Armistice Day program in the assembly. Mrs. Kerst and the girls also prepared Christmas music which was not presented because of the early closing of school. The progress of the Girls Glee club this year was somewhat retarded by the chang- ing of teachers in mid year. It is never easy for a group to readjust itself to the unfamiliar habits and ideas of a different director. However, in February the girls made their first appearance at a Washington-Lincoln assembly under the leadership of Miss Lindow. The next performance of the glee club was at a program given in honor of Westfield's returned veterans. Some of the songs were America the Beautiful, When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again and Bells of St. Mary's. The real work of the semester was the Minstrel show given in spring. For this some of the fellows were recruited, and the whole crowd donned black face. The show consisted of jokes, dances and novelty numbers, but its highlight was, as could be expected, the music presented by the ensembles, boy's voices, soloists and the entire Glee club. It has been a busy year for the Glee club, but it has also been a hsppy and profitable one.

Homemakers The Future Homemakers of America Club this year is a member of the State •and National organization formed by a series of sectional meetings held throughout the United States to assist young people in the organization of their clubs. The members are becom- ing acquainted with the new organization by participa- tion in activities held in our own section. New by-laws call for a white uniform since red and white are the national colors. Only girls enrolled in homemaking are eligible for membership. Plans are under way to issue a monthly magazine and adopt a national song. Principal activities since the last issue of the Artesian have been an all school Kid Party ,-------- attending the district demonstration at Berlin,--- sponsoring a booth at the Marquette County Fair,----- and operating popcorn and hot dog concessions at the home football and basket- ball games. The organiza- tion is buying an electric mixer and other equipment for the home making depart- ment with the proceeds from these sales. Row 1—B. De Garmo, M. Russell, J. Schauer, E. Buchholz, R.
