Donald Glotfelty attended the National F. F. A. Convention in Kansas City to rep- resent the Grantsville Chapter. The convention lasted one week and is held annually to elect national officers, to award the American Farmer degree, to plan the national pro- gram of work, to award gold emblems to outstanding chapters, and to hold regular bus- iness sessions. Donald Glotfelty and Marvin Miller hold the Maryland Farmer degree in the State F. F. A. Chapter. Grantsville won second place in a state wide chapter contest. Accomplishments reported in the Grantsville Chapter include the following: mem- bers net worth - $10, 047; represented in state wide contests, chapter teams won second place in public speaking, third place in swine judging, third place in dairy judging, second place in poultry and egg judging, seventh place in beef judging; and a chapter team placed third in the regional contest at Springfield, Massachusetts. The chapter has provided a cement mixer and a pair of clippers for community use. THE SAFETY PATROL One of the most vitally important organizations of the Grantsville School, is the Safety Patrol Club. It was organized in 1936. Mr. Frank J. Getty served as Advisor to the Patrol until 1940, when he appointed Mr. Edwin Elias to take his place as Advisor. Mr. Grimm replaced Mr. Elias when he transferred to another school in the fall. There are forty-five members on the Safety Patrol this year. Their captain is Delford Crowe, while the lieutenants are Richard Bender, Logan Wengerd, Harley Brenneman, and Robert Cclgan. The Western Maryland Motor Club, Cumberland, Maryland, furnished all belts and badges and provided, at small cost to each participant, a trip to Washington, D. C. During the war, the Patrol paraded in Cumberland and attended a free movie. In addition to bus duties, the Patrol usually serves during fire drills, street parades, and as ushers for graduation exercises. Grantsville was reputed to have had the second most dangerous place in the state for loading and unloadiny buses, and no accident of any description has ever occurred to any student. THE DRAMATIC CLUB The main function of the Dramatic Club has been to learn how to act and to give pro- grams before an audience. The one play that was presented during our Junior Year was ‘ ‘Dynamite Dan.’’ The club has monthly meetings with an attendance of thirty-six members. Miss Speicher is the Sponsor, while the officers are: President, Phyllis Resh; Vice-President, Vernon Miller; Secretary Richard Pettit; and Treasurer, Richard Bender. 34
