A party was held in April in the gymnasium at which time new mem- bers were admitted. Two trips were taken during the year through the courtesy of local industries: one through the Best Ice Cream Company's plant, where the process of pasturization of milk was studied. The management offered prizes for the three best essays on the subject of pasteurization. The first prize of 52.00 was won by Mary Frank, second prize of 51.00, by Gleason Viers, third prize of seventy-five cents, by Emma Dashnau. The second trip was taken through the Oswego Falls and Sealright plants where the process of the manufacture of paper and its products was explained in a very interesting manner.

The main attraction of the morning was a one-act play entitled, Chemistry Saves the Day . The parts in this play were taken by Birdie Bellinger, Helen Hammond, Mary Hopman, Frederick Wood, Vaughan Pierce and Harold McCormick. At the regular meeting in March, motion pictures from the General Electric Company were shown. On May third, ten members of the Science Club made the annual pil- grimage to the Chemical Exposition which is held every year at Syracuse University. -..if 2 7

THE FULTONIAN Fulton Young Farmers' Club , The aim of this club is to promote the Vocational Course in Agri- culture. It is the policy of every member to boost the Ag. Course to every farm boy who is ready to enter High School and particularly to point out its advantages to those who probably will eventually become farmers. The club has prepared teams, and was represented in all of the follow- ing contests: 1. Oswego County Dairy Council Picnic. 2. Delhi State Ag. School Contest. 3. State Fair Contest. 4. Morrisville State School Contest. 5. Farm and Home Week Contest at Ithaca. In November the club held its annual Birthday Banquet to which parents, families and friends were invited. An exceptionally good pro- gram was prepared. This was the first meeting for the newly elected officers. In the spring an assembly program was presented by this club. A play had been prepared-for the purpose of getting the students of the school more familiar with the work of the club. Basketball practice was started as soon as school opened-and the club endeavored again to take the county basketball championship. On the farm of one of its members, the club planted a potato Variety plot for making a study of potatoes and the adaptivity of various varieties. The club conducted a prize speaking contest. Every member selected a topic early in the year. Material was collected and speeches prepared. The club held elimination contests until only one member was left to serve as representative in the district contest to see who represented the Syracuse District in the State Fair of 1930. Making use of the school track and athletic field, thc club trained its members to enter the Syracuse District Solly track and field events until they were prepared to take first place. During the year, the club made a special study of co-operation and made every effort to establish some sort of a co-operative service. One of the aims of all Young Farmers' Clubs is to develop leadership. The club worked out a plan to promote this phase of activities. Members were given practice in leading meetings and in participating in them. Members pre- pared talks, demonstrations and lectures and delivered them whenever called upon. ...gf 2 9lg,,.-
