GQGITSUC l. EEE First Row, Left to Right-Alvin Sutliif, Supervisor: Robert Deitriek, Clifford Good Second Row-Budd Fritz, Karl Newhart, Donald Bonham, Harold Remphrey, Ralph Peterinnn, Fred Ilona, Edward Litwhiler, Lester Ash, Durwood Laubaeh, Harry Lockard, Pennington Yost, Robert Gordon, Juuies Mcllenry, Clifford Kline, Junior Hess This picture is typical of the many practical field trips made by the boys enrolled in the Agriculture Course. Through these trips each pupil is given direct contact with the many agricultural enterprises that are being conducted in our community. The machine shown in the picture is a modern potato grader operated on the farm of Mr. Roy Hess. The potatoes are placed on an elevator which carries them over a sizing chain where the small potatoes are separated from the large. Two men stand beside the second incline of revolving rollers and pick out defective or damaged potatoes which are revealed by the turning process. The clean, graded potatoes then drop through a rubber matted funnel into clean, attractive paper sacks. A few of these paper sacks are shown filled with 15 pounds of potatoes ready for market. They bear the blue label which represents a United States number grade. Labels of other colors are representative of lower grades. Potato grading is being done more thoroughly and efficiently in Pennsylvania than ever before. As a result of the establishment of new grading procedures, and growers observing these methods in their packing, the remote consumer is able to procure a much higher quality pack of potatoes. Page

E ECQENIQHUDUCS Each morning about eleven o'clock, when parts of the school building are being filled with delicious odors of food, pupils as well as teachers find themselves wishing lunch time were not so far off. The cafeteria lunch line is formed at twelve o'clock and includes boys a11d girls from the first to the twelfth grades. Each person pays the nominal sum of five cents for each serving of food that he desires for lunch. The school lunch, under the direction of Esther McHenry, is planned, prepared, and served by girls of the Junior Class who have elected the Home Economics Course. Responsibility for planning each day's lunch is assumed by a small group of girls selected to serve for a period of nine weeks. Thus, the school cafeteria offers con- venience to those who desire a warm, nourishing noon time meal as well as training in planning a balanced diet, judgment in buying food, and experience in the actual preparation of tasty meals.

R oberta Broschart This year's play had such a large cast of characters that over half of the Senior Class took part. Janey Browne, a sweet serious girl of eighteen who prided herself on her one-track mind, had finished high school and had come to live with her married brother, hoping to find a position in the nearby city. Three weeks of job hunting convinced Janey that her quest was hopelessg so, fearing a college educa- tion would be too much of a strain on her parents, she decided she would get married. Page 30
