The minstrel show late in the first semester was a big success and likewise the operetta, “In Old Louisiana”, in which the club took part. This year the club has gone forward under the leadership of Miss Empey. The club has at various times rendered several selections before the high school assembly but their first public appearance was at the Christmas program. Other appearances were at the father-daughter banquet of the Girl Reserves and the mother-daughter banquet of the Girl Reserves. The club played an important part in the operetta, “ Love Pirates of Hawaii”, which was given April first of this year. This operetta was a great success and much credit is due to the glee clubs and to Miss Empey, their director.

Smith- Hughes cJ Lgriculture For several years Randolph High School has maintained a well-rounded course in vocational agriculture. The following three-year course is offered: First year—Animal Husbandry Second year—Field Crops and Soils Third year—Farm Management The Animal Husbandry course comprises a thorough study of such enterprises as hog production, beef production, dairy cattle and dairying, sheep production, horse production, poultry production, and bees. The boys work out answers to many questions such as the following: What breed or breeds are best adapted to this lo- cality? How shall I select the proper breeding stock? How can stock be best housed and fed? How can I control animal diseases? In addition, the competent judging of stock is an important unit in this course. I he second year course is a study of crops and soils. The crop enterprises include corn, wheat, oats, legumes, grasses, etc. Selection of seed, storing and testing seed, preparation of the seed bed, cultivation and harvesting of the crop are studied in detail. Control of diseases, insects and weeds are important topics covered. Soils, fertilization of the soil, and the adaptability of the soil to different crops is discussed at great length. The third year course is a study of the business of fanning, or the application of business principles to fanning. Marketing, farm accounts, farm law, and rural sociology receive important consideration. 1 here are two phases of the above course that we have not mentioned: namely, shop work and project work. Since shop work is a part of the work of every farmer, any agricultural course that did not include shop work would be unbalanced. Twice each week the boys spend two hours in the farm shop which is pictured on the opposite page and which is located in the same block as the high school building. In the shop they are taught to use and care for farm tools, to do blacksmithing and forge work, soldering, harness repairing, and the like. The shop work is based wholly upon the work he will be required to do as a fanner. The project consists of some home project for which the bov assumes full financial and managerial responsibility. Such project might be the raising and fattening of animals and second, the raising and harvesting of a grain crop. The purpose of these projects is to develop doing ability rather than to memorize information. Every project is closely supervised by the instructor. CLASS PROPHECY (Continued from Po c 10.) in Warcham, will present each member of the class with one of their extra editions concerning the banquet. “Immediate attention will be given to anyone who overeats at this banquet by Eunice Graham and Minnie Broer. trained nurses from Chicago. “Station F-U-T-LJ-R-E signing off at 3:30 P.

As I regained consciousness I observed my mother shelving my copy of “Time as the Fourth Dimension.”
