The Huntiey F.F.A. sponsored a Donkc.\ Baseball Game, Sunday, May 21 at fhe High School Base¬ ball Field. The purpose of this event was twofold: first, for the en¬ joyment of the spectators and the comi)eting teams; and second, to raise money to pay for the land which the F.F.A. Chapter rents from the State Bank of Huntley.
Both of these endeavors proved ver\ .'iuccessful. In all, with admis¬
sions and donations toward a calf, the Huntley F.F.A. Chapter took in $316.30. This completely covered the rent bill with a little extra to spare. The F.F.A. Chapter would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who supported them in this adventure. The out¬ come of the game, naturally, was the way it wa ssupposed to turn

Correction
Last week one of our stories got mi.xed up and we placed the guest speaker for tho athletic banquet. May 31, in an article on the awards night. We are sorry this mistake toko place. Mr. Dale C. Smith will be speaking at the Athletic banquet rather than awards night.
Due to the end of school and the enormous amount of work, the fac¬ ulty has yet to do the awards night article and pictures, so they will not appear in the Farmside until after tho close of school.
