These winners were Donald G. Hoover, James Blattenberger, Gerald K. Frederick, and Donald E. Stern. Incidentally, Donald E. Stern has earned two plaques during his four years as a Future Farmer. During the year the farming programs of the 53 boys have been very extensive and earned the boys a total of 313,706.08 profit and 316,516.39 labor income. The chapters program to increase and improve purebred livestock among its mem- bers is gaining much momentum. At present, the chapter has out among members 5 Sears Holstein Heifers and calves, 2 purebred Hamp- shire Gilts and 6 purebred Yorkshire Gilts. Boys having these animals complete their program by keeping the original females after they have given back a female offspring to the chapter to pass on to another member. The Vocational Agricultural Class of '53 has been truly an asset to the Morrison Cove Chapter. It is our hope and desire that these Fu- ture Farmers will continue to follow out the purpose of our great organization. Good luck fellows while you: PRACTICE BROTHERHOOD, HONOR RURAL OPPORTUNITIES AND RE- SPONSIBILITIES AND DEVELOP THOSE QUALITIES OF LEADERSHIP WHICH A FUTURE FARMER SHOULD POSSESS.

THE MORRISON COVE CHAPTER of Future Farmers of America appreciate the privilege to be a part of this year's Pine Crest. During the school year the chapter had 53 in-school members and 17 associate mem- bers out of school. In addition to these, there are approximately 25 ninth-grade boys at the Junior High soon to become members of the chapter. The class of ,53 has made an enviable record in the history of the chapter by hav- ing five members receive the highest F.F.A. degree in the state, that of Keystone Farmer. These boys were Donald G. Hoover, James Blattenberger, Gerald K. Frederick, Donald E. Stern, and John W. Fisher pictured at up- per right. This is a record which projects a challenge to any class of the future. Another outstanding accomplishment of the chapter during the past school year was that of winning a third place plaque in the state project contest. This is the second con- secutive year for this honor. Over 300 chap- ters in the state compete in this contest which proves outstanding accomplishment on the part of all boys who entered the contest and made it possible to win. The year seemed full of awards for Cove High F.F.A, boys. This is proven by the fact that in addition to 29 metals won by members of the chapter, in the Area Project Contest, four boys, all members of the class of '53, won plaques by earning forty or more points

WITH TWENTY-EIGHT MEMBERS the Future Homemakers of America Club was reorganized again this year. The girls are uu- der the supervision of Mrs. Lloyd D. Points, a former graduate of our school. Before Christmas and also before Easter, the girls sold candy to earn money for field trips and to pay other expenses. The highlight of the year was the com- bination Christmas party and Mother-Dauglr ter banquet. It was held in the auditorium on December 10. Fifty-four people were in at- tendance and enjoyed a chicken dinner with all of the Christmas trimmings. The entertain- ment was furnished by the girls of our club and pertained to the season of the year. The party closed with the exchange of gifts by string pulling and the singing of Christmas Carols. On January 14, the F. H. A. had the privilege of attending the State Farm Show at Harrisburg. Here four of the girls took second place in the demonstration using the theme The Home Study Centerf' They also placed second in the Pennsylvania Electric Contest. Both awards were for 340. The entire club traveled by bus to Penn- sylvania State College for The Spring Week Endv in April. This consisted of a two-day demonstration and display of new fabrics and their characteristics, selections, and care and was motivated by consumer buying. Many easy to make and money saving home con- veniences were explained. In May, the Senior F.H.A. girls went to Gables' in Altoona for a day of Consumer Buying.
