Wilson A The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of farm boys who study vocational agriculture in public schools throughout the United States. The F. F. A. is a corporation organized, not for profit, but to encourage the natural tendencies of young men toward added enthusiasm in their work. Another purpose of this organ- ization ls to give boys an opportunity to become familiar with the fundamental principles of group leadership. The boys are taught the fundamentals of parliamentary procedure and the method of cooperative manners. Along with the F. F. A. chapters in high schools there are also state and national chapters. The Avoca Chapter of the F. F. A. is composed of nineteen members who hold their meetings semi-monthly. At the beginning of each school year the group is organized and officers are elected. The present officers are: President, Erwin Armstrong, Vice President, Leon Davis, Secretary, Victor Wise, Watchdog, Edwin Loucks. The meetings are conducted according to the rules of parliamentary procedure. Plans for parties, lnitlations, banquets and various ways of making money, are discussed at t1'16Se l'Il8etlIlgB. During August of 1941, seven members of the Avoca F. F. A. and their instructor, Mr. Bullett, toured the Adirondack Mountains and also attended a field day of the Empire State Potato Club at Utica. August 20 and 29 four members of the organization attended the New York State Fair to compete in the Judging contests held there. During October, the initiation of the new F. F. A. applicants was held. On Jan- uary 25, the Avoca group won a cup at the Annual Steuben Rally and later five members went to Ithaca to participate in the Judging held there. At this contest, Harold Barnes won ninth in potato judging, while Carl Hughes and Victor Wise won fifth in their agricultural demonstration. Plans for next year's F. F. A. have already been made,but may be hindered due to she national emergency. 2B

Collins, B. Heber The 'L1vely, Loyal Librarians' have been very active this year and have received practical library training while assisting our school librarian, Mies French. The following officers were elected when the club organized last fall: President, Ellen Collins: Vice President, Charlottelightman: Sec. and Trees., Erma Robinson: Typists, Ernestlne Parsons and Esther Shafer: Advisor, Miss French. Library work offers a variety of duties in the high school library, such as preparing new books for the shelves, reading shelves, checking out books, filing, dusting and arranging bulletin board displays. The student librarians also help students ln locating books on the shelves and in selecting suitable books for supplementary reading. In the grade library, which has been newly organized this year, the students act in the place of the regular librarian. The students of the first six grades have regular library periods each week, at which time they come to the library to check out books. After the children have checked out their books, lwhich may be borrowed for one weekl they greatly enjoy the story hour. The l1brar1an's most important Job is to keep the books neatly arranged on the shelves and signing out books for the students. The year's work has been enjoyable as well as educational and each student librarian feels that he has greatly increased his knowledge of books and authors. 26
