Camp, so Otis Rakestraw was elected to fill the vacancy of Treasurer. A new class has been added to the Arrtriculture proqram. It is the General Agriculture Class, which is the first General Agriculture Class in six years. There are twenty pupils in the class, eighteen girls and two boys. Seventeen boys and one girl have been benefited by the Production Credit Association of West Plains. They bought several pure-bred hogs, dairy cattle, beef cattle and sheep. This gives these seventeen bovs and one girl a start for the future and a chance to own something for themselves. The money will be paid back by paying the money to the Association re- ceived from the produce of the animals.

The 1940 Willamizzou TEACHER TRAINING .1: .4 Helen McCormick Annellen Smith Opal Godait President Vice-President Reporter The year of 1939-40 has proved very successful for the Teacher Training class of the Willow Springs High School. The Juniors and Seniors have partici- pated in the years work with a splendid amount of co-operatiom in various activ. ities, whch included reviews, methods, psychblogy, and agriculture. We have solved our many difficult problems in psychology and methods with the help of our splendid teacher, Miss Clough. The work in Methods has taken us into, several rural communities to do observation and practice teaching. All the teachers took a kindly interest in helping us with problems that occur in everyday school life, and offered some valuable suggestions. We have chartered a very successful TeacheriTraining Club. The club has givenb several parties during the year and has held an initiation for our new mem ers. As our class graduates from this course we are only giving way to a merry group of wise Juniors, and we wish to assure them that many hours of pleasant employment await them next year.
