Pine Whispers Another school year has been recorded in Pine Whispers . A new staff took charge and through the school year published eight issues, the first being issued on the first day of school. It would not have been possible without the splendid co-operation between the editors and reporters. They are to be congratulated for a job well done. Money raising projects used this year were subscription sales and candy sales. A- mounts earned from these campaigns, com- bined with a sum from the year before, en- abled Pine Whispers to continue as a self supported organization. Our thanks are gratefully extended to our advisors, Miss Smith and Mrs. Kensinger. Without their aid we could not have published the paper. Pine Whispers is a member of the Central Pennsylvania Scholastic Press Assoc- iation.

Oratorical and Essay Contest ORATORICAL It is the future concern of all of us as democratic citizens to help support our gov- ernment. It is a necessity as well as an obliga- tion that is placed before us. We are the people who make up our government and only we can operate it. Why then, do we squirm when the government strikes at our pocket- book? Simply because it is human nature to grasp and hold what we have worked and sweated for. - Carol Teeter Ulf We, as American citizens, really be- lieve in our Constitution, we must have a means to protect it. What better protection could we have than a Supreme Court? - Linda Nier Again this year the American Legion sponsored a competitive oratorical contest be- tween Roaring Spring and Morrison Cove High Schools, the subject being on any phase f? of the Constitution. The final decision of the judges placed James Ake, Roaring Spring, first, Carol Teeter, secondg Linda Nier, third, and Gary Johnson, Roaring Spring, fourth. ESSAY Each of us is a part of a whole nation. If each of us strives to do his best, then a whole nation working together can accom- plish much. In the end we can say We helped to promote democratic citizenship because we were a part of this group. - Marian Burns The Legionnaires of Pennsylvania spon- sored an essay contest on the topic, 'tMy Method of Promoting Democratic Citizen- ship. Every senior was required to submit an essay. A committee of teachers judged the essays and awarded first place to Marian Burns.

MOTTO: Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to Serve THE MORRISON COVE CHAPTER of Future Farmers of America appreciates the privilege of being a part of the 1955 Pine Crest. This year the chapter membership roll includes 54 in-school members, 15 associate members and five honorary members. At the Junior High this year there are 18 ninth grad- ers enrolled one day per week in agriculture who will become greenhand members next fall when they enter Senior High. Cove High Chapter now has on its records 16 boys who have earned the State FFA de- gree, better known as the Keystone Farmer degree. The chapter is proud of these 16 fel- lows because the number of Keystone Farm- ers is limited each year to one percent of the state membership.During the past three years, Cove Chapter has been above this percentage figure on the basis of local membership. This places the Cove Chapter in the Gold Emblem Classification on a State and National Basis. During the summer of 1955, Cove Chapter will have its first application for an American Farmer Degree. Clayton Shriver, our keystone farmer of the class of '52 is the applicant. Many outstanding accomplishments have come the way of Cove FFA this year, The over-all farming scope of the members sets a new high. When all farming programs were completed and totals made, it was found that the total labor income approached the 530,000.00 figure. This was an increase of better than 559,000.00 over 1954. Chapter owned livestock now includes seven Sears Heifers, five Yorkshire Gilts and three Hampshire Gilts.
