F. F. A. The F. F. A., Future Farmers of America, a new organization in Fairview High School, is composed of those members taking vocational agriculture who wish to join. Under the capable leadership of our teacher and advisor, Mr. Kell, the members of the Vocational Agriculture Class have attained much credit and success. Our first project was to enter an exhibition booth at the annual Wattsburg Fair. We received the alloted first prize of S40.00. Ben Levy, Leo Getz, Orville Weislogel, and joseph Desko took places in the judgf ing contest while John Gresh, Richard East, Hazen Lewis, and a few others received prizes on fruit-s and vegetables. In all, Fairview was wellfrepresented in the Wattsburg Fair and re- ceived ample credit in the Erie newspapers. The elected officers of the F. F. A. Club are as follows: Richard East, President, Delbert Cochran, VicefPresidentg Tony Desko, Treasurer, joe Desko, Secretary, Ben Levy, Reporter, and Leo Getz, Watchdog. Vocational Agriculture, being a new course in our school, had to start from scratch. With the fine assistance and direction of Mr. Kell, practically a new shop was made for the boys and a new extension to the tool shed outside of the school was made. The F. F. A. Club has given many boys an opportunity to participate in an organization in which they are interested and which will be beneficial to them in later life. We hope that Vocational Agriculture and the F. F. A. this year has established a strong foundation in the Fairview High School and community, and hope it will be a success and a benefit to everyone. 1-11 -Y , This year, the Boys HifY Club was under the direction of Mr. J. R. Amendola. At the first meeting, the seventeen former members elected Fred Wilson, President, Fred Kruse, Vice-President, and Merrill Grubbs, Secretary'Treasurer. The first problem was the initiation of new members, and on January 4, eight new members were taken into the club. As one of our projects for the year, the HifY took charge of the Victory Book Campaign in Fairview High School and met with great success in collecting one hundred and eleven books during a twofweek period. At the present time, our personnel consists of the following members: Seymour Baskin, Bill Walker, Sam Graff, Don Buseck, Bob Busi, Del Cochran, Ben Levy, George Sample, Bob Gidner, Dick East, Dick Payne, Melvin Bardsley, Don McCray, Harold Cooper, James Tingley, Jim Ritchie, Owen Waxham, Fred Kruse, Roger Kruse, Fred Wilson, Merrill Grubbs, and Robert Levy. MERRILL Gnuans JUNIOR I-IISTORIAN CLUB This, a new club, is one of many such Pennsylvania history clubs. These clubs have a determination to know more about Pennsylvania and to obtain a working knowledge of this state's government. Our club intends to learn more about our local surroundings and community. As we find out more of this, by tours, meetings, and reports, we will relate the importance and conf nection of our section to that of the whole state of Pennsylvania. Through this club it is our hope to know and have a better understanding of the state in which we live. BETTY SAINT Page 28

GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves, a new organization for girls, under the supervision of Miss Betty B. Britton and Miss Olive J. Schroyer, started at school the second semester. The motto of the club is: Try to face life squarely . It is an organization run primarily by the Young Women's Christian Association. Some of the projects which the Club undertook are: Mak' ing scrapbooks for soldiers, a silk stocking drive, and sewing for the Red Cross. The ofiicers for this year are: Sue Weislogel, President, Opal Disen, VicefPresidentg Jean Holland, Sec' retaryg Kathleen Vigrass, Treasurer, and Evelyn Pastorius, Program Chairman. Since the club was just started the latter part of the year, it was not possible to accomplish great things, however it is hoped with the good foundation the club built this year, that it can really be classed as the outstanding club for girls. CS'-IRL'S VARSITY The Girl's Varsity F Club is a comparatively new organization, started last year for the benefit of all girls who had earned varsity letters. The ofiicers for the new year were chosen at our first meeting and the following were elected: Elma Hotchkiss, President, Sue Weislogel, Vice-President, and Mildred Anderson, SecretaryfTreasurer. The club has undertaken several projects, two of which were the building of targets for archery, and helping to plan and take charge of the girls' activities on Jumbo Night. The other members of the club are: Evelyn Pastorius, Monta Vitter, and Jean Holland. Our,thanks to Miss Schroyer for her help and cooperation in making this Girl's Varsity F an important part of this year. Mrtonsn ANDERSON BOY'S VARSITY F This year, under the direction of Mr. joseph Amendola, the Varsity Club has reor' ganized in an effort to set up a firm foundation for the future years, and it has succeeded. The boys in the Varsity Club are those who have been admitted to the club after winning a varsity sports letter. These boys, though few in number, did much this year to make our club a tradition and organization of true merit. After the election of ofhcers, who were Seymour Baskin, President, Robert Gidner, Vice' President, and Merten Hinkle, SecretaryfTreasurerg the boys set out to accomplish a number of wellfperformed deeds. The first job was to set up a regular constitution. We then under' took an assembly program for the high school, after which we began individual projects. Before the end of the term we will have accredited to our club, the accomplishment of what we know will be a successful Jumbo Night, the showing of athletic movies to the students, a dance, a beautifullyfdesigned plaque by two of our members, and a fine radio skit to be presented in a forth-coming assembly. It has been a successful year for us, and we hope that we have built an organization that will, in the future years, carry on the fighting tradition of Fairview athletics and the respect of a fine upstanding club.

LITERARY CCN TEST This year, our Battle of Wits was held on November the 14th. This performance marked the twentyffifth anniversary of the annual literary contest and, in accordance with the times, a patriotic theme was dwelt upon. In order to make the contest more informal and interesting, Marion Rosenberg acted as the announcer and introduced the subjects. The program was opened with two very appropriate essays: The Symbolism of the American Flag given by Sue Weislogel, a senior: and The High School Student's Part In National Defense given by a junior, Merrill Grubbs. Although it was very close, the seniors won the first round of the contest. The winning poem, The Murder of Lidice , was given by Donald Buseck, a sophomore, while plenty of competition was supplied by the freshman representative, Patricia Hannah, who ably read the poem Hail Columbia! See Here, Private Hargrove , given by Richard Walker, and the tragic story of The Raft , reviewed by Mary Hart, were close choices for the book reviewg but the latter came through to receive the nod of the judges. The final event was a timely debate on a subject of future importance: RESOLVED: That at the end of the present world conflict a United States of Europe be set up as a step towards world peace. The affirmative senior team was composed of Evelyn Pastorius and Seymour Baskin with Marion Rosenberg as alternateg and the negative junior team boasted Opal Disen and Fred Wilson as speakers with Jean Muller, alternate. The debate resulted in a tie for the participants. Our judges were: Attorney Richard Agresti, of Erie: Dr. M. J. Relihan, Prof. of Ed. at Mercyhurst College, and Mrs. Wm. Lowstetter, Fairview Boro Grade School teacher. After debating, they gave 53 points to the winning Sophomores: the seniors and the juniors tied with 50 points each, and the freshmen held fourth place with 48 points.
