Those who participated were Audrey Jacobs, Bernita Benjamin, Julianne Johnston, Kay Saunders. Marjorie Bassett, Robert Dickens, Carl Peterson and Donald Peterson. Audrey Jacobs, Carl Peterson and Robert Dickens were members of the all-state band at Hornell. Seven senior band members re- ceived their B awards for band. They are Audrey Jacobs, Robert Dickens, Eugene Whitaker, Terry Thomas, Carl Peterson, Janet Horn and Wesley Cline. We are sorry to have Gerald Van Dyke and William Lyon leave us this year and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors. The junior band of twenty-eight members finally shaped up as a mu- sical organization and was quite a Mbit at the spring concert. Seven- teen of our members will be pro- moted to senior band next year. We have been doing some marching on the athletic field and there is more to making a marching unit than we thought. We hope you have enjoyed our music as much as we have enjoyed playing for you. Art Department The room at the end of the lower corridor has been really humming with activity this school year. Many contests were entered. We are proud to report that Donna Dickens re- ceived a S10 honorable mention in the Wildlife Poster Contest spon- sored by the National Wildlife Fed- eration of Washington, D. C. An entry was submitted by Shir- ley Baker to the Health Poster Con- Julianne Johnston, Judi Richard Shelley, Arihur Thomas Bi-own, Bernita Ronald Baker tests sponsored by the Woman's Auxiliary of the Medical Society. The Scholastic Art Awards spon- sored by Sibley, Lindsay and Curr Co., Rochester, N. Y., received many entries and we are pleased to an- nounce that one of our eighth grade girls was awarded a scholastic key. Because Louella Pingrey received a highest regional award, her work was forwarded to Carnegie Insti- tute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for national judging. Congratulations for representing Belmont, Louellal Back to Rochester, where David Caldwell, Maxine Clark and Bill Lyon had ceramic pieces accepted for showing. Bill Lyon and Jack Winterhalter exhibited oils, Donna Dickens, a pastel, and Kay Saun- ders, a pencil sketch. Continue the grand work everyone. Another event to come is our school exhibit at the Angelica Fair where work from grades 1 to 12 will be on display.

It's a sign that warm weather is near, You will see the children, at work at play, But all is quiet on a rainy day. The tulips peek their heads out of the ground, And all of the animals are frisking around, The bushes and plants grow their beautiful leaves, And on rainy days, water drips from the eaves. The farmers are happy to see spring at hand, So they can grow crops on their plentiful land, The fields of wheat are beautiful sights, And the children are having fun with their kites. -George Haynes Who's Who in Sports DON PATRICK played baseball, basketball and soccer for three years.

In these meetings the freshman initiation was planned and organ- ized. This event was a great success. In the fifth meeting the council agreed to have slick up day on the same day that group pictures were taken. There was some difference between last year's pictures and this year's. The student council suggested that one of the students lead the student body in song and the pledge to the flag at an assembly program. Al- though this hasn't gone into effect yet, it will be done in the future. The new officers for 1953-54 were elected on May 25. President .......... Fred Warner Vice-President .... Gene Johannes Secretary-Treasurer --Harry Hale Advisor .......... Mr. Howbridge The field day was held the week of May 25-29. The high school girls participated in the following events: high jump. running broad jump, soft ball throw, clothes pin race, 25-yd. dash and a bag race. The boys' events were: horse shoe pitching, high jump, broad jump, 100--yard dash, baseball throw, base running, 440 relay, discus throw and shot put. The moving-up day picnic was held behind the American Legion. After the party there was dancing in the school auditorium. The eighth graders were the guests of the high school. Betty Jane Gleason Fred Warner Industrial Arts several projects. We started with a corner shelf. The Advanced Shop I class voted to make a gun rack for the next project. The Advanced II class decided to make plant stands. Our last class project was a televi- sion table on the Advanced I class and a parlor chair in the Advanced II class. Everyone was given a chance to work on the lathe. Many bowls and table lamps were turned out. With three weeks left in the school year we were left to make any project we could in that period. Some picked to make another corner shelf, little wheelbarrows, shadow boxes and to refinish small projects. We also had mechanical drawing this year. We had twelve plates to make. We wish to thank Mr. Daniel Car- navale for the help he has given us during the past school year. Future Farmers Of America On September 29, 1952, the Bel- mont F.F.A. chapter held a meet- ing to initiate the Greenhands in- to the organization. The new members were Harry Hale, Gene Gleason, Leonard Wat- son, Lester Veley, Eugene Whitaker, and Jim Deming. After the initation, the chapter held an election of officers. The fol- lowing were elected to office: Presi- dent, Fred Warnerg Vice-President, Thomas Lambg Secretary, Harry Hale, Treasurer, Henry Keiser: Sen- tinel, Robert Sortoreg and Reporter, Charles Bliven. County and State Meetings Every three months a county meeting of the F.F.A. is held in various chapters throughout the county. In addition to these set meetings, there may be one called for the transaction of special busi- ness. Every year there is a state and na- tional meeting. This year the state meeting was held at Wellsville. Any- one wanting to go to this meeting from our school could go. Other schools farther away elected dele- gates. The national meeting, held in Kansas City, was attended by our county delegate. John Riley from Scio was this representative. Social Activities In October, the F.H.A. and the F.F.A. had a banquet for their par- ents. Around one hundred attended this banquet. After the supper, we enjoyed a program of speeches and dancing. On December 22, the F.H.A. girls and the F.F.A. boys held a Christ- mas party together. There were dancing, games and refreshments. In March, the Belmont F.F.A. was host for the County F.F.A. Banquet. There were one hundred and fifty persons who attended this banquet. Homemaking News In Homemaking III this year the girls studied about nutrition, had suppers and served a turkey dinner. They canned and froze foods. They also had about two weeks of child care. Last part of the year they have been making skirts and dresses. Now they are working on draperies for the Home Economics Department. The seniors in Homemaking VIII have covered many different things this year which will benefit them in the future. They have studied chil- dren, their habits, discipline, atti- tudes, emotions and personality. They all enjoyed the trips to kin- dergarten to observe the children. If any of you want to be a kinder- garten teacher, you'd better have patience. The senior girls want to leave one thought with the future homemaking girls, don't be too hard on the teacher next year. This year the Homemaking I class has been studying home nursing, hobbies, etiquette, food and nutri- tion, family entertainment, spend- ing the family income, and the un- derstanding of ourselves and others. They have also learned how to apply make-up and clay packs. They've been kept quite busy this year. The Homemaking II class has been studying home planning and decorating this year. In the first se- mester kitchen planning and room arrangement were studied. This semester they cleaned the old second grade room and painted it. The color scheme which they used was chartreuse and brown. There was some opposition in each of the classes against this particular color scheme but quite a few liked it. The painting is done now and some of the girls land boysl who said they didn't like the color scheme, relin- quished their ideas. Now, they like it.-Diana Van Dyke Eighth Grade Our grade ends the year with a registration of forty pupils. During the year Joyce Spence, Gladys No- bles and Donna Burrows were with us for a short time. Allen Webster and Donald Scott, after celebrating their sixteenth birthdays, decided to leave school.
