Homo Making Notos This yeai5, the second one of Home Making at Heuvelton High, found our enrollment more than doubled and three new courses added.- Through this extended curriculum, Home Making B and Home Economics for seventh and eighth grade girls were offered for the first time. During the school year, we have tried not only to do our school work well but to aid in the health and social program of the school by serving banquets and preparing a hot dish for the noon lunch. In these ways, we think wo are aiding a little to make young America better nourished. All through our year’s work we have tried to keep in mind the responsibility of the American homemaker and to learn better and more efficient methods of preparing foods, car- ing for our homes and families and remaking garments so that nothing shall be unintentially wasted. As we review the year, it has been a successful and enjoyable one, one which we are sure has more thoroughly equipped us to be the homemakers of tomorrow.

The members of the teams were selected prior to each of the judging contests. Heuvelton F. F. A. chapter participated in contests held at Malone, Gouverneur, Hammond and New York State Fair. The chapter also participated in the Farm and Home Program at Cornell University as well as contests held at the New York State Agricultural and Technical Institution at Canton, Morrisville and Delhi. For the fourth consecutive year, the local team placed first in dairy cattle at Malone Fair. We also placed second at G-ouverneur Fair. At Delhi the team placed second out of the state and received a large green banner which hangs in our Agriculture class room. At State Fair, G-lenn Hastings placed second high in the state in dairy cattle in competition with 250 schools. He and one other student from the state made the state team which judged at the Eastern State Exposition at Springfield, Mass. Here, G-lenn placed fourth with twenty four individuals from twelve states competing. Glenn is the first Heuvelton student to become a member of a state F. F. A, judging team». As a result of Pearly Harbor two of our F, F. A. mem- bers arc now in the armed forces. James Kelly joined the Navy and John Hand joined the Army. The local chapter was host to other chapters at the fall rally. The chief attractions were the football and ping-pong tournaments. Donald Parks camo through to win the pin-pong tournament and a nice trophy. Our F. F. As basketball team came in second best at the tournament follow-- ing the completion of the regular season and held at the Agricultural and Technical Institute at Canton. Many successful project programs are under way with much interest being shown in them. Dairy herd reoords are being kept by thirteen boys with a total of over 300 cows on test. Over 325 bushels of seed oats were treated for smut this spring. This has completed a very successful year for the local chapter. Ellis Fishbeck
