SENIOR CLASS PLAY 27.9. A 85. Q 0, '- '4 J On May 7 the seniors presented their class play, Love ls Too Much Trouble, a farce comedy in three acts by Guernsey Le Pelly. The action of the play took place in a little eating house just off the campus of the college, shortly before the junior prom in the spring. Joe Burke was suspended from going to the prom so Pinky got the idea of dressing him up as a girl so that he could go, but the professor of the college intervened and suspended all of them. Then Oggy and Pinky gave the band leader some of the neutralization pills that Oggy invented and the plot thick- ened. Of course, the play ended by everything being straightened out and everyone going to th prom.

BURLINGTON CHAPTER FUTURE FARM RS OF AMERICA For the first time in fifteen years, Burlington now has a vocational agricultural de- partment. The department had a rather slow beginning because ot' the many things that must be accomplished in order to get a shop rolling. Tn J 1 l 1047 work was begun to remodel a cement garage adjacent to the school 1 u y , . , ' . into a class room and shop, It is an ideal building for such a purpose, measuring fifty feet wide and seventy-five feet long. Due to the labor situation it was impossible to f s hool to start The first classes were held with many complete the building in time or sc .' . . .. . of the windows out and part of the wall not closed in. ln the length of time that the Ag. Shop has been operating, the thirty-seven boys of the organization have built benches in the shop, moved in all the shop equipment, glazed windows, ran cement -.is well as put- ' - ' '. ll' set up two ting up the siding on the class room walls, bolted tool tablnets to the ix '1 s, forges and a furnace, built in an overhanging hoist, painted cabinets and benches a gun metal g'ray. These are some of the accomplishments that have been done in the shop. The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of, by, and for farm boys ' blic setond-try schools which operate under the studying vocational agriculture in pu - J - . . . provisions ot' the National Vocational Education Act. lt is now recognized as the largest farm boy organization in the world. The major purposes of the Future lfarmcrs of America are to develop leadership, cooperation, citizenship, improved agriculture, and patriotism. The aim of any F. F. A. chapter is to aid in the establishment of the members in farm- ing. ln order to do this we must gain experience on the farm, and the best way to do lt t k s mmney to carry on such a pro- thls is to grow crops and livestock on your own. a es 1 ject. In order to help those members who need financial aid, the chapter has started to raise money for a loan fund for the future members of F. F. A. ln order to raise this money, various projects such as cleaning out the old gymnasium and starting a F. F. A. hall, in which we sold pop and candy to the students. VVe next started an advertising campaign of the Burlington-Springfield football game, and put on a smoker in conncc- tion with the Burlington Boy Scouts. Twenty-five members are carrying livestock projects and seven are carrying crops projects. Each of these boys is carrying on a regular business that they finance them- selves, keep records on, supply the labor, time, and planning in order to carry out a suc- cessful crops or livestock project. Nine F. lf. A. members represented the Burlington chapter at the state lf. I . A. Judging Contest held April l, 2 and 3 at Fort Collins. Boyd Johnson received a superior judging ribbon in the dairy czfttle class. The highlight of the year was the F. F. A. father-mother banquet held April 7. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Little, vocational agriculture instructor from Hoodland, Kansas.
