The Future Farmers of America is probably one of the most active organizations in high school. 

The FFA is a national organization. Any boy taking an agricultural course and wanting to become a member of a farm organization may join. In many ways, the FFA has helped to better the school. They have made small repairs in the Ag room and donated something to the school each year. A portable loudspeaker system was donated this year by the FFA.
 
The success of the FFA can be accounted for by the enthusiasm of the students and the patience and hard work of their instructor, Mr. Ferries.

Ross Fritz received the De-Kalb award for outstanding work in Ag.

The Drum Majors and Majorettes are a colorful added attraction to the Marching Band. They are all seniors except for JoAnn, who have been marching with the band from four to six years. 
 
Poise, alertness, co-operation and rhythmical ability are some of the necessary qualities in becoming a majorette. A sense of good timing is an essential tool. A drum major has to know to give signals, and how to control the band. 
 
Many hours of practice are needed to become a good baton twirler, but every girl who has become one in our school has found much satisfaction and enjoyment.

O-Withian Important Part of School Life
 
Feature articles, editorials, interviews, and interesting items about the students appeared each week in the O-Withian News is a link between the communities and the school. It was the aim of the entire newspaper staff to enlighten the public on what the students did throughout the year. 
 
As a sideline the newspaper staff published a bi-annual magazine, “Hi-Lites.” In the Christmas issue there were TB articles besides the regular articles such as senior interviews, short stories and character sketches written by the students, and the results of a poll taken in school about senior characteristics. This magazine was entered in the 1957 School Press Project and rated in the top five of the state. It then went on to receive national recognition. 
 
The newspaper staff, supervised by their advisor, Mr. Pauly, did an excellent job. They certainly deserved the awards that they received.
