Jlq. Dept. FRANCIS CLARK, B. S. University of Illinois FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The F. F. A. club is a national organiza- tion of boys who 'are studying agriculture in the various high schools of the United States and its territories. It is under nation- al and state supervision. The purpose of this organization is to promote and develop thrift, cooperation, citizenship and leader- ship in the field of Agriculture. The activ- ities usually entered into are judging, public speaking, husking and basketball contests. lt is the aim of the Bradford Chapter to have each student in Agriculture a member of the F. F. A. club. JUDGING TEAM The judging team consists of twenty-four boys in the sectional contest and of twelve boys in the state contest. The sectional con- test at Mendota will determine which teams or individual will be eligible for the state contest at the University of lllinois in June. HUSKING CONTEST The husking contest was started three years ago. The same rules and regulations. except time, which is fifty'minutes. are fol- lowed as at the State and National Con- tests. While Glenn Moffitt did not receive first place, he represented the Bradford Ch'apter in a very credible manner by husk ing almost eleven bushels in the allotted time. Glenn graduates this year, so plans to enter this event. F. F. A. BASKETBALL TEAM The F. F. A. basketball team this season played nine games. This activity is fine for all. Usually about fifteen boys make up the squad for the first and second teams. If you f-an t make the high school team perhaps you can by playing on the Future Farmer .eam for a couple of seasons. - Ji -.Ei -4 4 7 f f t ' 'V V t . i . -1 v.:- -c i' - ' A ' ' ' N Q .t - 1' 'as qi?

Up to this year Foods has been a senior subject, but in order to make it a sophomore subject in the following years it was necessary to let all of the girls of the three upper classes take Foods. This has made it necessary to have four classes a day since there are six- ty-nine girls enrolled for the subject. All classes are two periods in length. The first class is composed of Junior and Senior girls. The second class is com- posed of Seniors. One of their responsibil- ities this year has been to prepare luncheon trays for the two noon duty instructors. The last two classes are composed of Sopho- mores. All classes take up the work of meal planning, food preparation. purchasing of food. efficient kitchens, attractive dining rooms, budgeting food values and serving of meals. In order to apply what they have learned in class to their home life, each girl com- pletes three home projects during the year. These projects can be of various natures: planning meals, baking, efficient arrange, ment of the kitchen, retlecoration problems and others.
