ll ill Elk THE KEYSTONE The results of the State College contest prove the worth of the Pennsyl- vania school system as expressed in vocational schools. Practically every county in the State was represented by one or more teams, making the con- test one of the largest ever conducted by the Division of Extension. In a mock sale contest that was open to every one, including cattle men, farmers, county agents and students, the boys from Greene-Dreher finished first, second and third, proving conclusively that the boys were consistent and understood the value of records, blood lines and the tuberculin test. In recognition of the boys achievements the American Holstein Fresian Breeders' Association presented them with a large silver cup. The Penn- sylvania Holstein Fresian Breeders' Association awarded the boys a trip to Chicago where they would compete as a team with the State teams from all over America. At the Chicago contest the boys finished ninth as a team, and Ross Osborne finished third in the placing of Jerseys. The Chicago trip was very educational, and the boys will always remember it as one of the high marks of their school days. The achievements of our team will never be forgotten, and we trust that the trophy that adorns the auditorium will recall pleasant memories to the alumni and will serve as a stimulus to encourage boys of the coming classes.

THE KEYSTONE Boys Stock Judging Team As we review the activities of our school since the publication of the last Keystone, the work of the boys' stock judging team seems to be out- standing. The class of '21 feels especially honored by the opportunity offered to give an account of the work done by the team, and also by having two ofthe boys as loyal members of the class of '21. The members of the team, Ross Osborne, Friend Uhl and Rush Simons, received their training and instruction in the Greene-Dreher Vocational School. It was with no small effort on the part of the boys and their in- structor that the training was made possible. Our community could not furnish the proper types of animals for preliminaiy work, so it was neces- sary for the boys and Mr. Jacobs to travel many miles in search of desirable animals that could be used in preparing for the final contest. 33

THE KEYSTONE Athletics C' N closing the present school year we are prompted to review the events 6U that have brought honor to our students and school. Possibly nothing has been more outstanding in its relation to school spirit and school life than the basket ball season just completed. The season was ushered in with three inexperienced men, but by hard work and faithful practice the rough edges were worn off and by mid-sea- son old G. D. V. S. took her place with all schools of this section. Some of the strongest teams on the year's schedule were met the early part of the season. The followers of the team firmly believe that if these games were played at a later date the margin between scores would have been considerably narrower. Time has taken from us, by graduation, Capt. Simons, Grimm, guard and Osborne, forward. These three men were clean, hardworking and loyal members. We trust that the example they have set will bring expres- sion in the new men of next season. With the help of Hazleton, Waltz and Carlton we trust the team of next year will be able to present its Alma Mater a record as glowing as the one for the season just closed.
