THE YEAR I REVIEW The Whitewater Chapter of Future Farmers of America, under the advisership of Mr. Thayer, has just concluded a very successful year. There have been many activities which have contributed to the suc- cess of the organization. In the limited space allotted us we will endeavor to outline a few of the high spots in the activities of the F.F.A., to which some or all the members have contributed. Sweet corn project-22 members picked 10 acres of sweet corn in August on the W. T. Roe farm. A profit of S5300 was realized with a little effort and brawn. Fairs-Au ust was the month of fairs. Man members exhibited their cro s, oultr , swine beef, and Y Y , dairy projects at the county and state fairs. An education booth was exhibited at the county and state fairs. An educational booth was exhibited at the Walworth Count Fair. Y 8th Grade Party-just before school started the chapter was host to the Sth grade graduates at the high school. Communit Activities-First, was the lantin of 100 lar e ever reen trees on the cam us, athletic Y field and the cit ark. Milk testin , ermination, and soil tests were made for man farmers. A cow and , Y P S S Y sheep clippers was purchased for use among members and other farmers. 5000 seedling evergreen trees were planted by members in the spring. Trips-The freshmen and sophomores visited the junior Livestock Show at Madison, the juniors and seniors spent a day at the Case Company at Racine, and three judging teams represented the group at Madison in the spring. There were many field trips made during the year to correspond with the class- room study. Money-Every organization needs money to carry on its many activities. Our group started in the red at the beginning of the year. The sweet corn gave us a big boost. The Christmas card sale went over well with 900 boxes sold, while there were many small scale projects that returned profits. Basketball-The group played ten games with other F.F.A. chapters. This was climaxed with a tour- nament here, at which the local boys won the championship. Banquet-A parent-son banquet was the high-light of the activities for the year, with 200 guests pres- ent. A wonderful meal was served by our co-workers, the F.H.A. F.F.A. Public Speaking-All members participated in a chapter contest with Ken Rowley placing second in the district meet. Cooperation-A joint F.H.A. meeting with both Waukesha chapters was a great success with an ex- change of many ideas. A square dancing party was staged in March. The two groups had a mixed quar- tet which placed first at the district contest. Page Twenty-thi ee

This is the first year Whitewater has had an organization nationally known as the Future Homemakers of America. It was organized under the guidance of Miss Billings. The membership is made up of girls who arc- in home economics, or girls who have had one year of home economics. Each member is given the opportuni- ty to earn degrees. These are: Chapter-scroll, junior-lc ey, State-torch, and American-rose. At the beginning of the year the following officers were elected: Carol Ann Bigelow, presidentg Eloice Loughead, vice-presidentg Nancy Houghton, secretaryg and Lois Anderson ,treasurer The officers were installed by the Waukeslizi F.H.A. chapter. The afternoon meetings were held every second Tuesday of the month while evening meetings were held the same nights as the F.F.A., every third Wednesday of the month. For special projects the girls entered a float in the Homecoming parade and sponsored an all-school mixer. Page Twenty-four
