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,,.-

Under the skillful leadership of Miss Edmunds, our captain, and Miss Preston, our lieutenant, the Girl Scouts of Fulton High School have had a Very successful year. Troop I has 35 members at the present time. A county rally was held at Oswego in October at which eight Scouts received First Class badges. As a result of several months of hard work, on the part of the girls, many merit badges as well as Tenderfoot and Second Class awards, were received. Throughout the year, the Girl Scouts have participated in community and school alfairs. They aided in the Red Cross Campaign and sang Christmas carols. And how could anyone forget that assembly program presented by the Girl Scouts-with all the ropes and sailors and the little yellow ducks? 'During the year, through the efforts of Miss Edmunds and Miss Preston, five new troops have been organized with the different grade schools of the city. On March 1, a rally of the seven troops was held in the Gym, at which time Miss Carter of the National Girl Scout Field was present and addressed us. She presented Miss Edmunds and Miss Preston with Thanks Badges for the excellent work they have done to promote Girl Scouting. -..,.,gf3 0139..-
