A c companist L., Girls' Intramurals and Play Days Besides the regular instructional periods in physical education, the high school girls have been offered a rich program in intramurals and play days. Intramurals are thosegkvoluntary after-school recreational activities carried on in competition between classes. The girls have had intramurals in basketball and softball. In basketball, the girls from the sixth grade through the high school seniors were allowed to -compete. Two round robin tournaments were played, the juniors emerging victorious after a strenuous battle on the part of all teams. Play days include various schools who meet to play with, rather than compete against, other schools. We have had four play days this year. The schools with whom we have played are: Medina, Elba and Le Roy. The girls in the freshman through the senior years have been given an opportunity to participate in these events. ly, Demonstration This year for the first time a demonstration of the Work done in the physi- cal education department was presented by Miss Meadoff and Mr. Bruce. The program consisted mainly of high school pupils taking part in march- ing, Danish gymnastics, and free exercises, games and recreational activities, dancing and stunts. The fifth grade also participated, presenting two Scotch Folk Dances. The students, as well as Miss Meadoff and Mr. Bruce, Wish to thank Mr. Williams, Rose Starkweather, Susie Greene, Mrs.Martin, Miss Schuler and the members of the faculty for their splendid cooperation in making this demon- stration possible.

A plant disease team, represented by Rodney Forsyth, Kenneth McEntee, and Warren Schaal, placed ninth. On February 1, Everett McClurg, Paul Roth, Kenneth McEntee, and Warren Schaal took advan- tage of an opportunity to broadcast over station WBEN. Each boy took a part of the motto, Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, living to serve. The annual two day trip to Ithaca was made during Farm and Home week in February. Ten boys made the trip and took part in the many activities held for the Future Farmers during that week. Kenneth McEntee, representing this chapter in plant disease, placed sixth in the contest in which 85 schools were represented. Paul Roth and Clayton Sharp acted as delegates to the leadership training school. The second annual Future Farmer Banquet was held in the agriculture and kindergarten rooms, the evening of April 18. About 100 parents and friends were present and enjoyed an interesting program. Mr. B. H. Darrow, Educa- tion Director of station WBEN, Buffalo, was the principal speaker. Awards were given out to the Future Farmers in recognition of their work for the fiscal year ending April 1. Kenneth McEntee was awarded the regulation letter and gold pin for obtaining the highest number of points in the activity contests, the number being 4621.

Donald Cook won the medal for outstanding AG I member. Clyde Starkweather won first prize in the Dairymen's League District contest and a prize of 55.00. On May 2, the county demonstration contest held at Elba was won by Rodney Forsyth and Kenneth McEntee by showing how to caponize cockerels. This same team won Western New York honors by winning at Alfred on May 5. On May 20, this team competed against six sections in the state to determine the team to represent New York in the World's Poultry Congress to be held at Cleveland, Ohio. Dairy cattle were also judged at Alfred. In reward for their ac- tivities during the year, the Oakfield Oakie Chapter has been selected as one of the six chapters in the State to construct a booth in the State Fair in August, 1939. The minimum award will be 840. Already, plans have been made to estab- lish a Future Farmer Department in the Genesee County Fair, which will include judging exhibits, chapter contests, dairy herd improvement contests, and a general booth exhibit. As the Oracle goes to press, the horse-shoe tournament is starting along with a softball team in the intra-mural league. Although many desired to enter a float in the apple Blossom Festival held at Geneva, it was voted not to do so because of the distance the iioat would have to travel. However, should the festival be held in Batavia another year, the Oakfield Future Farmers will take part. As we close our second year, we have aspirations towards another success- ful year, the third. The Future Farmers. 63
