'., MQ: .W TE Mid'uTE BEFORE THE GAME Z? WQZQM Zffgzem Lockers slam .... voices hum .... and a total state of confusion reigns in the locker room. Not too long from now we' ll be up in the Gym, giving our best against the visiting team. A lot of thoughts are being expressed aloud and with much vehemence. Naturally we' ll win!! Everybody is confident! We' re waiting for the slower boys to get their sneakers and uniforms on .... it won't be long now .... the coach gives one of us the balls and the O. K. to go upstairs, so amidst the shouting and stamping we land in the Gym. No more confusion now .... the boys form two lines and preliminary practice begins .... we get warmed up and await the entr anc e of the visiting team. They are coming in now .... one can tell without looking, the the bleachers resound with the stamping of feet and yelling. We keep one eye on the boys we are about to face as they practice beneath the basket. The buzzer sounds! Everybody gets off the court to sit on the sidelines and await the naming of the five boys who will start the game for us. All is ready .... the boys shake hands with each other, and the referee holds the ball ready for the jump .... the whistle blows .... the boys jump. . the clock starts to tick .... the game is on! 1

Peter Bryan, Reporter: David Carlson, Sentinel: Arthur Stutz, Vice President: Hans Christensen, Treas- urer: Robert Gouveia. Secretary: Mr. Hawkes, Advisor. Our Bristol Chapter of the FFA is an active group consisting of 115 members--striving to live up to the ideals set forth in the Creed. Many of the boys have proven themselves as excellent judges in the various fields of agriculture. In October, Richard QuaganC54j represented Massachusetts at the NEPPCOEgg Judging Contest in Syracuse. New York. Robert Lindsey was a member of the State Livestockludging Team which traveled to Kansas City, and Peter Bryan and Hans Christensen went to Waterloo, Iowa with the State Dairy Products' Judging Team. The money used in helping to fi nance these trips was raised in part by the FFA members and in part through gene ro us donations from service organizations throughout the Country as a part of their youth program. During this school year. our boys operated a refreshment booth at the Farmers' Field Day in August and sponsored a tea room at the Fall Flower Showg the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Hawkes in connec- tion with these ventures were responsible in a large part for their success. The Chapter offered a bronze bowl as the Sweepstakes Award at the Fall Flower Show this year and is planning for the Annual Aggie Night Banquet to be held in March--another of the Chapter's social func- tions.
