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?

Manual Training Dept. The intelligent, and ambitious high school boy asks, Why should I go to high school? One answer is that he may be hetter perpared to make a good living when he becomes -a man. The manual training department does three things. First, it helps a boy to find himself. That is, he can bet- ter decide for himself whether he wants to train his hands and be a hand worker or whether he wants to he a brain worker. The next thing that manual training does is to teach the student how to use the diff- erent kinds of tools properly. There is a proper way to drive a nail, to set a screw, 10 sharpen a plane blade, or splice a rope. Everyone will do these things many times during his life and he should know how to do them well. Manual Training also devel- opes the desire to do something useful The student is introduced into that world of reality where some day he will be expect- ed to take his place among men and earn un honest living. The beginning classes are required to make certain projects which involve the doing of fundamental processes in wood- word. The advanced class has a choice of projects. The shop is well equipped with the best of tools and machines. Woodturn- ing is very interesting and fascinating so say the students. The shop has two of these wood turning lathes, and nearly every stu- dent has made himself a fine hickory mal- let. Some of the best projects made this year were a modern writing desk by Dick Nel- son, a cedar chest by Harold Plotner, a. magazine rack by Tom Landes, a modern end table by Keith Swearingen, and a. wag- on jack by Marvin Jones.
