The Jamaica Plain High School agricultural pupils, teachers, and gradu- ates attained many notable results for thc school year of 1944. Pupils practiced a total of 44,004 man hours with a working value of 5514-,770. These totals were at- tained in general class room outside prac- tice and during the recent summer on farms. Head Master John B. Casey in his 1944 Emergency Farm Labor Program managed 890 recruits, 654 were placed on farms throughout New England with total earnings of SS78,49Q.45. Klany fine com- pliments were received on the work of these green', farm workers and many Boston youngsters found agriculture to their liking. This school should claim some of the national leadership credit for the very successful 1944 Boston Victory Garden Program. The National Secretary of Agriculture said This demonstration gar- den CBoston Vommonl with its educational and inspirational facilities makes it one of the outstanding contributions to the entire Agriculture Victory Garden Movement. Mr. Dennis NI. Crowley, graduate and a teacher of Horticulture for twelve years in this school was in direct charge of these Boston gar- dens. Frederick A. Bunker '38 assisted llessrs. VVendler and Dooley as members of the Advisory Vommittee. Numerous graduates are doing spe- cialized tasks for the Armed Forces: blood plasma, rubber substitutes, air force, topography, photography, wood and food preparation. hh. Swan was in charge of the 1944 iVIilton Victory Garden program, Mr. McGuckian '27, Wloburn gardens, Mr. Donaghy, five school gardens, and Mr. 0'Leary, Brighton Victory Gardens. Miss Nfullin worked with the Boston school gardeners. Thus Jamaica Plain High School students, teachers, graduates, and Head Nfaster did much in the national food emergency not only to educate youngsters in agriculture but to help produce much needed foods.
