Meetings were held in the homemaking rooms twice a month - one after school one in the evening. At the October meeting, the following officers were installed by Miss Charlotte Roy, past-president: Sheila Fitzgerald, president, Anna Margie Moshier, vice-presidentg Joan Bush, secretaryg Ruby VVidrick, treasurerg Susan Smith, song leader, Beatrice Benware, publicityg Joyce Campany, membership chairman, Janet Davis, board chairmang Phyllis Burke and Joan Murphy, co-chair- men of ways and means. The advisors were Miss Olive Kilpatrick and Mrs. Veronica Haight. The chapter mothers were Mrs. Ambrose Bush and Mrs. Winnie Smith. From the eight purposes which the F.H.A. promotes nationally, the local group chose two for this year: the sponsoring of wholesome recreation and the joys and satisfactions of homemaking. At one meeting our mothers were guests and the program consisted of a panel discussion by mothers and girls on the joys and satisfactions of homemaking. We went to the fall rally at West Leyden where our part in the program was to demonstrate how to plan a year's program of work. In the spring, the rally was held in Canton. At one meeting Mr. Keen spoke to us on vocations open to homemaking students. A local hairdresser demonstrated good grooming and hair styling at an- other meeting. In the spring the annual fashion show was held. Once a month we served refreshments to the junior- senior high school faculty before their regular meet- ing.

Located between the first and second floors-over the old gymnasium, it is easily accessible to the junior and senior high schools, yet it is removed from the noise and disturbance of the traffic in the corridors. The library is a spacious 64' by 42' room, six times the size of the .old library, with full-length eastern exposure. Shelves of light birch against soft dusty rose walls with soundproof ceiling and both fluorescent and indirect lighting, give the room an atmosphere of study throughout. The light birch fur- niture of both round and rectangular study tables and chairs combines beauty and grace with func- tional efficiency and sturdy construction. A glass exhibit case for rare books and records and the magazine rack are built for rare books as part of the shelving. In one end of the room, divided by counter height shelving, is a special area devoted to reading, with a table and four red upholstered chairs. In addition to the main reading room, which will easily seat sixty pupils, there is an adjoining room where periodicals and a collection of old books are kept. This room has been soundproofed for use as Schmitt, Arlene Thompson, Miss Ina B. Glenn, librarian.

There is a large rectangular conference table surrounded by side chairs with red upholstered backs. The walls are melon green, and blend with the grain of the light birch woodwork and furniture. Also adjoining the library is a workroorn containing shelves, cupboards for storing supplies, a linoleum- topped work space, and sink. Other modern equip- ment includes a work table and chairs, two metal vertical files for library material and a librarian's desk. The walls are melon green, the same as the conference room. A large glass window allows for supervision of the reading room from this area. At each entrance to the library are two large bulletin boards for notices and displays. This year a library club has been formed, under the supervision of our librarian, Miss Glenn, consisting of about thirty high school girls who voluntarily devote two or three periods a week to lend service in the operation of the library. Here indeed is an inviting library, easily accessible, with plenty of space and ideal working conditions for all students.

In September, the Lowville chapter of the Future Farmers of America revised their yearly program for the activity contest and adopted a system so that the members who do extra work are able to receive credit for it. At the end of the year the boy who has achieved the greatest number of points receives an award. Last fall, thirty-four F.F.A. members, sponsored by the Lowville Farmers' Cooperative and the G.L.F., took two hundred five soil samples on fifty-eight different farms. A parent and son banquet was held in April, the first of its kind in several years. During the past year, Dick Bush received the Empire Farmer Award, which is the second highest award given in F.F.A. Richard Kaban won the first prize at the Lewis County Fair in the 4-H tractor driving contest and second at the State Fair. The Lowville F.F.A. judging team took top honors in the dairy judging contest at the Lewis County Fair. Richard Kaban and Wayne VVoodard were in a group representing Lewis County in dairy judging at the 1957 State Fair. Planning for a crop demonstration to be held this summer is one of the final projects of this school year.
