THE PURPLE AND GOLD F. H. A. What Is It? Who Is It? Why Is It? Who Runs It? What Goes On? What Else? The F H. A. Club (Future Homemakers of America) The Homemakers in classes— Home Economics 1 Homemaking A To establish and organize groups of girls interested in domestic science for the purpose of having good times together. Our officers: President—Ola Woodcock Vice President—Emma Lou Chambers Secretary and Treasurer—Jessie McCoully Recreation Chairman—Rosaline Hartley Adviser—Miss Beswick Twice a month we meet, once as a group in the home- making room to take care of the business dealings in our club, and once in a lively social function (a party with “Big Time” games, a hike, a bicycle ride, picnic, hot dog roast, or any other get-together that has fun for all). One of our rules is to have lots of good things to eat. There is a National F. H. A. camp near Croghan, New York, which will be in session during the first week in July. We have chosen Rosaline Hartley and Ola Woodcock to go with Miss Beswick in taking ad- vantage of these exciting days at camp. The ex- penses for the girls will be paid through our treas- ury fund. 20

THE PURPLE AND GOLD CHORUS The Chorus has grown this year, both in quantity and quality, we are told. Seven chorus members participated in the selected All Northern New York Choir on November 23rd. They were: Lauris Johnston, Arthur Bullock, Jack LeClair, Paul Wood, Betty McMartin, Arlene Sibley and Betty Christie. We put on an assembly program January 14th, which consisted of many gocd numbers—“Land of Hope and Glory”, “Onward Christian Soldiers” and the historical version of “Yankee Doodle Ooodle” were three of them. Beverly Knapp wrote two extra stanzas for “Yankee Doodle Oedle” which brought its history up to date. The chorus and band are planning a joint concert sometime in May. 19

THE PURPLE AND GOLD HEUVELTON CHAPTER OF FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Present Officers (1946-1947)— President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Bill Smithers --Horace Jackson Carl Poor James McAllister Reporter Lowell Murdock Sentinel Maclyn Murdock Adviser Howard Snyder The Heuvelton Chapter of the Future Farmers of America have had a successful year. The beys have taken part in both local and state judg- ing contests. They sent judging teams to local fairs at Gouverncur, Malone and Hammond, and to state contests at Morrisville and Canton. We realized about seventy dollars from premiums at fairs. We have car- ried on a milk-testing program, and have participated in tours initiated by the Farm Bureau, of which our chapter is a member. We also took part in the annual Farm Management Day Tour and farm analysis. Last September, McAllister and Cutway represented the chapter at the state contest at Morrisville. Cutway placed second in dairy cattle judging. We placed second at the Hammond F. F. A. Fair in September, too. McAllister was individual high scorer in that contest. In October, Poor, McAllister and Cutway were the winning team at the state contest at Canton, for which an attractive First Award banner was given. Poor was high scoring individual in that contest. Heuvelton acted as host to the other six F. F. A. chapters in the county at the fall sports rally. We also took part in the winter sports program of the county F. F. A. organization. In early Spring, the green- hand degree was given to James Chase, James McAllister, and Bob Steele. 21
