Beginning in August of 1941, one of the most unusual courses to be offered in high school was begun in Martinsburg. Strangely enough, this course was being offered at the request of the local merchants who wanted peo- ple trained as first class salespeople with a view of becoming buyers, managers, etc., in the local stores. As a result eighteen students began for the first time to spend their entire efforts in one field of effort-towards that of learning to sell. They came to class and then went to work at least Hfteen hours a week. Those students in Distributive Education and the places they work are as follows: Mar- garet Angle, Silco Drug Store: Betty Lee Cline.

A. has emerged this year as one of the more active organizations of the school. Several of the boys won prizes for their live- stock at the annual livestock convention for outstanding specimens. They also grow various crops and study conditions most suitable for their growth. This year the F. F. A. members held their annual Father-Son Banquet in the cafeteria of the school. The program for the evening was in charge of Sherman Beard, president of the chapter. An interesting ,after-dinfner speech was given by D. Banks Wilburn, director of rural schools in Berkeley county. At this ban- quet the aims and purposes of the F. F. A. were read to be: To develop competent, aggressive, rural, and agriculture leadership: to create and nurture a love of country life: to strengthen the confidence of farm boys and young men in themselves and their work: to create more in- terest in the intelligent choice of farming occu- pations: to encourage members in the develop- ment of individual farming programs and estab- lishment in farming: to encourage members to improve the farm home and its surroundings: to participate in worthy undertakings for the im- provement of agriculture: to develop character, train for useful citizenship and foster patriot- ism: to participate in cooperative effort: to en- courage and practice thrift.
