President, William Blakeslee Treasurer, James Grooms Vice-President, Robert Green Reporter, Joseph Conti Secretary, Bernard Paetzold Watch Dog, Claude Lynch Advisor, Mr. John Goodman The organization of Future Farmers of America, well known through- out the county as the F. F. A., is made up of high school undergraduates in the agricultural course. A large majority of the high schools offering an agricultural course, have a local chapter of the F. F. A. which carries on its work according to the national plan, but which also is encouraged to fit its program into the life and agriculture of the area. The chief aim of the F. F.A. is to develop the interest of members along lines of better management, co-operation and better living from agriculture. Activities on a county Wide basis were planned for this season. In ad- dition, the F. F. A. sponsored apple packing and egg grading contests and other competitions on a state basis. The Burlington County F. F, A. Basketball League was composed of five teams this year, Pemberton did not have a highly successful season but did win over its old rival, Mt. Holly. 38

dial? fills lc X ,O Q' AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS - 71.5 'fir ,-:M 1 ofa? , 5:13 X1 I President, Claude Lynch Vice-President, Samuel Cowell Treasurer-Robert Ti lghmorm Advisor, Mrs. Betty Bennett The increasing use of Audio-Visual Aids in the high school program is bringing home to many schools the realization of a need for a trained corps of operators to care for and run the audio-visual equipment of the school. The service of this group in the last eleven years has been efficient and cheerful. The group has made a very real contribution to the spirit and traditions that make up Pemberton High. There are three divisions of the A.V.A -the novice, who is a learner or an apprentice. His training period is one year. The novice must pass a written and practical test in the operation of the machines, after which he becomes a second class operator. The second class operator, after the show- ing of 25 films, and passing a test, becomes a first class operator. Through the generosity of the Board in increasing the allotment, the Corps has been able this year to expand its service and its usefulness. A new projector has been received which will be a great asset to the successful showing of class room films. During this year, the activities of the club were: using P. A. System and Pick-up, directing Slide Machine and setting up for Radio Programs, Classroom movies, and loaning and operating equip- ment for outside school or community groups. 37

The judges had quite a job to pick only ten of these to cheer us through the years sports. Following the first football game, Florence Tehan was elected captain for the year. There was an unanimous vote for new outfits and after a few shopping trips. short black wool skirts underlined with orange, and white long- sleeved blouses were decided upon. One of the first activities of this group was a pep rally to boost our school spirit. This was held the night before the Mt. Holly football game. A somewhat bedraggled dummy was carried around by the fellows on the team, and cheers were given at the street corners. The procession was ter- minated on the Grange Field. where a big bonfire was waiting to burn the dummy while the crowd cheered for the Cornhuskers Basketball season started in December with quite a full scheduleg but wherever there was a game, the cheerleaders helped lead the crowd in cheers to boost the team. Members of this year's squad: Florence Tehan CCaptainJ, Jane Kauf- man, Delores Douglass, Kathleen Nixon, Jean Fisler, Jeanne Hutchinson, Helen Sutton, Barbara Kinsler, Rennee Valcourt, and Nancy Thompson. 39
