There are twenty-two -' members in the organization this year. Several boys have already distinguished themselves by re- ceiving awards for their project books and exhibits at the Mansfield Fair, and in the county project contest. Neal Butler received a first place award for his beef cattle project book and Fort Colegrove and Boney Davenport received first and third place awards respectively for vegetable garden projects. Boney at- tended the F. F. A. Week activities at Penn State College last summer. He participated in the Farm Me- chanics division of the contests there and also pitched the Tioga County Soft-ball team into the final play- off. Last spring the F. FL. A. boys set over 9,000 trees on farms in the community. The E. H., S. and F. F.A basketball team is keeping Elkland High on the map by proving that farmers can play basketball too. Nine boys represented Elkland Chapter at the Pennsylvania State Farm Show this year. Four of them-- -- .Tim Davis, 'Fort Colegrove, Lee Button, and Lawrence Spencer participated in the F. F. A. Vocational Demonstrations.

m. i 2 I I INETEEN hundred and fifty-two marks the end of the fourth year that the Commercial Course has been included in the curriculum of Elkland High School. It consists of Typing I and Il, Bookkeeping, and Shorthand I and ll. The enrollment tends to increase as more and more students realize the practicality and use- fulness of this C.0urse. This year, due to the increased enrollment, it was necessary to place the Typing I and II students into two sections. The Commercial Course gives a student sufficient business training so that at graduation he has a choice of two plans. He may obtain a position in an office or further his business education by attending a business college. The high school commercial training gives a student a find back- ground for college work. Even the student who goes on to other courses in college will find the knowledge of typing and shorthand invaluable in his classwork. , I 2 8 h.Mf1---f.u-.m- e- --A A, H- ,
