Drake Last fall, the F. F. A. attended the State Fair at Syracuse and the Bath Fair. The boys judged potatoes, horses, poultry and dairy cattle. Later in the year, the club was host to the County F. F. A. Rally. Here the boys won first place in shop skill and in judging livestock. The Christmas decorations for A. C. S. were made by the Agriculture IV Classy Don Weber was the artist. The entire design was made out of wallboard and displayed on the roof of the school building. The class was awarded a prize by the Avoca Service Club for having the best Christmas display in Avoca Monthly meetings of the F. F. A. are held in the gymnasium. At these meetings, the boys discuss farm life and the problems involved in farm work. The Board of Education presented the club with a year's subscription to the Farm Bureau paper. This gift has been appreciated and has become very educational. During the summer vacation, Mr. Bullett visits the farm of each one of the F. F. A. boys and gives them helpful advice concerning their projects. Each member of the F. F. A. keeps an accurate record of his farm produce and a final report is made at the end of the year as to the time spent and profit made. Two girls have taken the Agriculture course this year, and have shown their superiority in this line of work. The F. F. A. members review the year's activity with pride and consider it most valuable and beneficial. Hopkins
