Golf The Orleans High School Golf team didn't win any tournaments this year but we had a lot of fun. One bright, cloudless Monday morning in Septem- ber, we motored to Rutland with Mr. Davis at the wheel. It was thoughtful of him to accompany us and we appre- ciated it very much. Our foursome placed eleventh with fifteen teams par- ticipating. Our team pictured at the left, was composed of (left to right) Paul Racine, Ellwood Guyette, Jack Utton--recording the score--and Steve Alexander. We hope to be more suc- cessful next year.

On the district level we won first place in the following contests: Chapter Meeting, the Secretary’s Book, Horseshoe Pitching and Scrapbook; and second place on the Treasurer's Book and the Supervised Farming Program Record Book. At the Vermont FFA State Convention held at the Vermont State School of Agriculture in Randolph, Orleans won first prize in the State Chapter Meeting Contest, and second place in the Scrapbook Contest and the Secretary's Book Contest. October 6, 1957, the Chapter was proud to have Richard Cook, Chapter Vice President, appear on the CBS Television Network on Strike It Rich. He won $185 and a new trombone which was presented to him by the famous trombone player, Buddy Morrow. Richard represented the Vermont Association in the National FFA Band, from October 9 to 20, 1957, at the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. Lawrence Hamel, Larry Simino, and Mr. Leslie were in Boston, Massachusetts, October 2, representing our chapter on the Boston Marketing Tour sponsored by the Hood Milk Co. and the Wirthmore Feed Co. The Northeast District of FFA in Vermont held its fall meeting November 26, 1957, in Orleans at the Municipal Aud- itorium. The district chapter meeting contest was held and Orleans won first place giving them the opportunity to com- pete again for first place in Vermont. On January 22, 1958, Arestide Hamel received a Sears Roebuck Foundation Jersey heifer valued at $150 to help him along with his farming program. The Chapter prepared an exhibit entitled, It Pays to Cull, for the Vermont Farm Show held in Barre, February 11-14. Thirty-seven members and Mr. Leslie visited the show and attended the annual FFA banquet. Mr. Leslie, Lawrence Hamel, and Wayne Whittemore appeared on WCAX-TV, Channel 3, on Across the Fence, in February. Their subject was Why We Test Milk? One of the highlights in the history of the Orleans FFA Chapter occurred when it celebrated its Silver Anniversary with a banquet on March 17, 1957. There were more than 275 friends and members present. Orleans was the first Chapter in the state to celebrate its 25th Anniversary. Governor Johnson, Lt. Governor Stafford, Agriculture Commissioner Towne, Senator Donald Smith and Mr. Peary were given honorary memberships on this occasion. 22
