At their regular meetings the girls discussed dairy problems and gave demonstrations on such subjects as grooming cows and cleaning milking machines. They also learned how to make calf blankets and rope halters for their cows. A trip was made by some of the members to visit a Guernsey farm and a Holstein farm near Paoli. Thanks go to Mr. Perrin for helping us accomplish this. The most important event was, of course, the Annual Dairy Show in April. Several Hort. students took pan in this along with the experienced Ags. A month ahead of time the dairy barn began to really buzz, and queer noises erupted from it which signified cows being trained and fitted for the big day. This work really paid, for many of the girls proudly walked off with ribbons, medals or any one of various other prizes. Mr. Sprouse’s donation of a show halter for a prize gave everyone twice as much incentive to be a winner. 25

The Intellectuals The meetings of the Music Club were informal get-togethers during which the members pursued their favorite quiet hobbies while listening to the music of the masters. Short discussions concerning the lives of the musicians or criticisms of their works, were led by the President before each piece was played. The members of the club generously pooled their records to form a library and thus the club has done much to increase the appreciation of good music. The girls started, this year, a collection of records to be made into a permanent Music Club library. The members of the Reading and Discussion Club also had some enjoyable gatherings. Hearing speakers like Miss Dehn and Mrs. Masters gave them much joy and offered opportunity for them to tuck away many valuable thoughts. Discussions among themselves about books and current situations broadened their view points and gave them a better understanding of human nature. The Club ended the year by gladly contributing to the Recreation Room library, several new and entertaining books.
