In the Herkimer game particularly, it seemed that Fort Plain would be over-whelmed, but through excellent coaching and the never-die-spirit, the Hilltoppers came back with a fighting determination that spelled victory.

Grganizafion Future Farmers of America is a boys' organiza- tion in conjunction with the courses in Vocational Agriculture and is advised by the agriculture teacher. The primary aims are to develop agriculture leader- ship, cooperation and citizenship, and improve farm home surroundings to provide for a better life and a better place to live. During the school year, the F. F. A. boys par- ticipated in many activities climaxed by a banquet. Many awards were made to the boys this year. The Fort Plain F.F.A. won first place as a school in the contest at the New York State Institute of Agriculture and Home Economics at Cobleskill. The boys placed second as a team in the apple judging contest, and Theodore Michalik placed second in the individual rating. The team placed third in the agronomy judging. Richard Subik placed third in the tractor driving contest. In the six-county Milk Quality Control contest conducted by the Dairymen's League, Theodore Michalik won first place and Raymond Klock won third place. The Fort Plain chapter also won the S50 award for the second consecutive year. Two plaques were also given the chapter by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation for the rat extermination program so successfully carried on by the boys. At the Open House last fall, the local chapter of the Future Farmers displayed a booth represent- ing the home farm business of the F. F. A. boys. This was a pleasing display of the various accomplishments of the boys and their projects. One of the rewards of their efforts was the trip to Kansas City to the National F. F. A. convention. Here the boys attended the regular business meet- ings and saw the awarding of the American Farmer Degree which is one step above the Empire Farmer Degree which is on a state basis.

D'Arcangelis, B. Harmon, Mr. George Berberich, adviser. Student Council Functions The Student Council represents grades seven through twelve, each of which elects three students to represent its class. Projects facing the Council are the monitor sys- tem, buses to bring in rural students to athletic con- tests, check room at ball games, the annual Student Day, campaign and election of next year's council president, the annual Magazine Drive, individual student portraits, the activity cards, and Moving Up Day program. Perhaps the monitor system is one of the most important functions of the Student Council because it gives the students a part in school government. This not only brings about a better understanding between students and faculty, but trains the students as future democratic citizens to make laws and obey them, for their own good and for the good of others. Another function which deserves recognition is thc Activity Card Plan. This card which may be purchased for a designated price Cusually the same price as a copy of the yearbook, entitles a student to attend home basketball games, paid assemblies, receive four issues of Hilltopics and a yearbook. In the past year the Council subsidized the above by contributing to their activities: yearbook, 555003 school news magazine, S1009 athietic department, S3005 assembly programs, 35200. This year for the first time, the Council gave awards to students who were outstanding citizens of the school, showing cooperation and loyalty to the school, having academic abilities and performing ser- vices for the school. Students receiving the honor this year were: Barbara Wood, Deo Young, Gerald Hisert, Shirley Wahler, Russell Hoyer, Carolyn Prall, Hugh Pomella, Louisa Gros and Debra Dodge. Another project taken on by the Council this year was the soliciting of funds for the Firemen's rescue equipment. The campaign was very successful, 35165 being given by the FPCS students.

XfN N ' -1 -11 1 ' wifi History What seems like umpteen seasons ago, a group of Midget Leaguers and their ever faithful cheer- leaders were the gang to meet in the Fort Plain High School after it had been remodeled and enlarged. Under the directioniof Miss Helen Failing, we found Dick Carter, Sammy D'Arcangelis, Paul Lasher, Jim Lowell, Alf Marsh and Alan Walrath at the plate and Ellen Baer, Donna Luft, Jackie Mahl, Rhonda Moore, Eleanor Utter, Shirley Wahler and Barbara Wood all yelling their heads off. The second season with Mrs. Frank, Harold Siver gave the boys support while Geraldine Siver, Peggy Carrier, Carol Swartz and Roberta VanDerKar added their voices to the girls. Our next season proved to be successful with Miss Buell as manager. However, we weren't given anymore support until the next year with Mrs. Hud- son. Then our boys accepted Albert Cole, Leo Young and Deo Young. Fay Dillenback, Pat Muchmore and Sharon Vosburgh joined the cheering section. Pulling through, we joined the Little League the fifth season. The first year in the league Miss Miller was our leader, the next year Miss Ruth Sheffield. Gerald Porky Hisert and Teddy Michalik came in for full time jobs then. The last year in the league made us feel great. Miss G. I. Warner was our manager, and for the first time, we elected our officers and sent two people to the League Conventions, better known as the Student Council. Patrol duty made our boys feel quite grown up. The only new member to join us that year was Janet Smith. At last we had made the Junior League. Money came hard and passing to classes confused us, but our team never gave up. The first year the country sent us some more support in the forms of Raymond Klock, Janet Kretser, Marie Looman, Leonard Prall, Evadean Seeley, Raymond Gould. Carol Swartz rejoined us. Russell Campbell came then, too, and proved to be a good batter. Safely through, we joined the Minor League in our freshman year. The Nelliston team sent us Donald Red Smith. With Jim Lowell as our captain, we obtained a little capital from food sales, dues and a hayride. Assisting Jim were Leo Young, Assistant captain, Deo Young, Scorekeeperg Donna Luft, Scorekeeperg Gary Schwartz and Barbara Wood, Convention Mem- bers. Mr. Soon Ahn gave us moral support as manager. We went through the usual Pomp and Circum- stances to become sophomores. Again, food sales, dues, hay rides expanded our treasury. School shirts and bookcovers in the freshman, sophomore and junior years gave us more headaches than money. In the Captain's chair we found Dick Carter with Jackie Mahl as his assistant. The cashier was taken over by Roger Engle and scorekeeper by Paul Lasher. Eleanor Utter went to the Conventions with Gary. We elected Miss Evelyn Venable and Mr. Joseph Braco as our managers and they stayed with us through the remainder of our career. The only new full time member was Dick Subik. In the last year of our Minor League, we had Deo Young and Barbara Wood as Captain and Assist- ant. Roger gave his pen and books to Rhonda Moore and Paul gave his money wrappers to Jackie Mahl. This year Janet Smith accompanied Gary to the convention meetings. Two of the biggest activities of our time were the Junior-Senior Banquet and the junior play, Father of the Bride. And finally, our biggest season when we joined the Major League as seniors. Deo, Jackie and Rhonda kept their departments. Harold Siver became our assistant captain and Barbara and Dick Carter went to the Convention Meetings, however, Leo was sub- stituted for Dick at half time. The usual food sales and dues plus a hayride to the races were our Treasury expanders. Our senior play, The Happiest Years went on the records along with selling concessions at the basketball games. All this added up to two events: the senior trip to New York City, under the Empire State Tour and a class picnic. This time after going through the usual Pomp and Circumstances each went his own way to the Future League. -BARBARA WOOD + + + THE HAPPY SEASON The baseball seasou opeusg The fans rise, aiicl give three cheers.

A voice belonging to Raymond Gould comes over the loudspeaker from the moon's largest airport, All set for that trip to earth to see the ballgame, 'Porky'? A few minutes later they sit in the bleachers waiting for the baseball game to commence. Ray- Boy! It surely is going to be good to see Alf Marsh and Dick Carter. Guess Alf has quite a job coaching and teaching those 'Planet-trotters'. Porky- Guess so. But can you imagine Dick teaching those dogs to play baseball! Didn't think he could get away from the G. E. that long. Ray- Yea, Hear all the class of '53 will be here. Porky- Well, as president of the G. E. Russ will no doubt be here all set to fire Dick if his dogs lose. Ray- Say! I hear Jim is the owner of the Lowell Mills now. Porky- Yea, and Jackie designed the suits for both these ball teams and then Jim made them up in his new fabric. You knew Jackie wrote her own Home Ec. design book, didn't you? Ray- Sharon will no doubt be here in her bright nurse's uniform to patch the players scratches. fThat is if Dave will let her out of his sight that long.J Porky- I hear any casualties will be carried od! to Barbara's hospital. Do you think the patients will have to go to Eleanor's Nursing Home when they get out? Ray- Hard to tell. Suppose Shirley, Margaret and Roberta can leave their Washington jobs long enough to come? Porky- Hope so. To think Margaret is the per- sonal secretary to the president and his favorite cook also. Hear Shirley's doing a bang-up job in the Vet- erans Administration too! Ray- Yes! In more ways than one. But I guess Roberta is giving her hard competition. Porky- And did you know Donna is down there singing for the President and will be here to lead the National Anthem today! Ray- Here comes the plane from England with Ellen and the children from her Nursery aboard. Porky- And talking about Ellen makes me think of the U. N. If they aren't having one swell time! Wonder how long Russia will last before they get tired of Sammy's disagreeing. Ray- Yes, even in school he could argue. Re- member our Senior history class with Ellen, Sammy and Janet Smith? By the way, where is Janet? Porky-- She is a lawyer and never has lost a case yet. Ray- Say! Look who's coming. Good old Paul. As Paul comes nearer, he spots the two boys and greets them with a hearty slap on the back and- Paul- Howdy ol' chaps. Glad you could make it to this game. How are things out in the space? Porky- Fine! But Raymond and I were just talking about the old school mates. Since you stuck to th? Mohawk Valley, what about giving with a little in o.' Paul- Well, Marie and I don't have much time to keep up on the gang because she is dividing her time between teaching and housekeeping, and when I'm not in the G.E., I can be found with our few ani- mals or in the garden. Ray-- Did many of the fellows stick to farm- ing? Paul- Leave it to you boys to ask! Raymond Klock and Dick Subik did. Of course 'Joe' Prall and Teddy Michalik did, too, but in a different sense. 'Joe' has taken over the Dairymen's,5 League and just a coupge of years ago Teddy finished his milk testing p an . tWPorky- And Peggy? Does she speak to Russell ye . ' Paul- She'd better! She is doing the same as Marie-teaching and housekeeping Cfor Russ, that isl. If you go to Northville to see Fay and her herd of horses, stop at Gloversville to see Rhonda. She is running her own Nursery school now. Ray- With all the gang that went into the Ser- vice, did any of them stay? Paul- Yes, our pal Leo, is Uncle Sam's right hand man all around the world, but Deo came back and took over Samuel's Store and from what I hear is planning on expanding to other towns. Alan is in the forestry business. He really enjoys his job in the north woods. I Ray- What ever happened to Pat? Did she stick to the home town? Paul- Home town nothing! She is in Paris. Madamoiselle Muchmore is a Dancing Producer. Ray- Ouch! Pardon me. What happened to lRed,?7Y Paul-- After he came out of the navy he started his business of building and selling houses. Porky-- Listen! That sounds like Albert's voice. Paul- It is. He advertises the Razorless Shave for the Portable Colored TV. Porky- What is this world coming to? Paul- We must have covered nearly the whole gang. But did you know Janet Kretser is in San Fran- cisco? She is a specialist in hair styling and wigs to go with the design of the dress. Porky- Here comes the upstate bus with some more of the gang. Is that really who I think it is at the wheel? Paul- Yes, that's Geraldine. She has her own bus line, which she runs while her husband does the housework. Porky- Harold and Geraldine were a swell brother and sister. What is Harold doing, now that he has turned the hair of the F. P. C. S. teachers gray? Paul-- He writes a comic strip entitled: 'Willie and J oe'. Ray- Here comes Evadean still being chased by Dick Subik. Paul- Look here goes the ball game. What about meeting out at Carol's Roller Rink, on Coney Island for a spin, before you take off for space again? Evadean is cashier there. Ray- O. K. It's a date! Right Porky? Porky- Yep.
