D. H. Hamilton, B.S. AGRICULTURE Boys who want to become farmers can take a total of four courses in agriculture during their yeors of high school. Agriculture I is the study of the soil and the production of the various crops with the best possible results. Agriculture II has to do with balancing of ra- tions for live-stock and the feeding requirements for the different types of animals. In agriculture III Mr. Ham- ilton instructs the boys in the repairs of implements and horness and in farm management. Agriculture IV is a special course which is a summary of materials, crops, and onimols in which the individual hos special interest. Mr. Hamilton is also the adviser for the chapter of the Future Formers of America. The Paris chapter is made up of thirty-eight boys, and the F.F.A., as a whole, is the second largest boy organization in the world. In the F.F.A. each boy is required to give a talk on some phase of farm work, at least once a year. This additional club work has proved very beneficial not only in stimulated interests in agriculture, but in becoming better acquainted with students of similar interests. F. F. A.

Folk and so- cial dancing ore enjoyed by the girls, too. Skill tests ore given in connection with the sports, ond this year, the girls tried their strength on the dynamometer. Teamwork and sportsmanship ore two of the prime results of our excellent gym instruc- tion. BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Eveland has divided the boys' course in physical education into five different sections. The first section consists of running a sizable distance every day to build up wind and en- durance. The second is calisthenics for exer- cising the muscles. After the holiday season, the boys played basketball until after the state tourney. Then, the calisthenics were reviewed for a spring exhibition of moss drills and tumbling. In the final section of the school year the boys again have outdoor exercises ond running. Twenty-eight E. W. Eveland, B.S.
