This year the students in Home Economics have enjoyed a most entertaining and profitable year. Due to the increasing value and popularity of State School and the subjects which it teaches, this year marks the largest number of students which the Department Inis ever had. The courses offered provide an opportunity to specialize in one of three fields: Institutional Management, Child Guidance, or General Homcinaking. At the beginning of the year the girls sponsored a get-acquainted party for the boys, which was very successful. The Table Service class had a Christmas party to which all of the girls were invited. There was a tree, and gifts were exchanged by means of a grab bag. After some games were played the group went out and sang chorals. A midnight lunch climaxed the evening. Under the supervision and guidance of Mrs. Joan Pearson the Nursery School has had a very successful year. There were ten children enrolled in the school, six girls and four boys from this vicinity. The daily schedule is as follows: 9:00 A. M. Arrival and inspection by nurse. 9:10 A.M. Out-door play. 10:00 A. M. Fruit juice. 11:00 A. M. Rest period. 11:15 A. M. Quiet play indoors. 12:00 Noon Dinner. 12:30 P.M. Nap. 3:00 P.M. Dismissal. We are indeed fortunate in having such a school. It helps not only the children and their parents, but the students as well. This school affords an oportunity for the girls who are interested in Child Guidance to get some practical experience. The Home Economics girls wish the students of future classes the best of luck. HOME ECONOMICS t Utli How Kink, Ilopkinx. ostrainier, Jlendy. I ji niter, Ward, Hutlcr, Sterling. Ilu room.

AGRICULTURE With the increase in enrollment the agricultural department continues to expand and to fulfill its purpose of training young men in the fields of general and specialized agriculture. The department is constantly raising its standards in order to bring its scholastic standing to a new level and give to the students a larger and better field of learning. Three main divisions comprise the agricultural section, and in each of these divisions theory is constantly accompanied by practice. In the Dairy division the classwork of Livestock, Bacteriology, Dairy Manufacturing and Testing is supplemented by field trips to various farms, laboratory work, and the manufacture of butter, ice cream and cheese. Not to be forgotten is the experience which all livestock men undergo that of working in the school barn and fitting cattle for the annual Fitting and Showing Contest. The Poultry students gain valuable experience in caring for the flock of hens which are incubated, brooded, and raised by the students. Mr. Huey does not neglect field trips for his classes, and he also stresses the finer points of judging poultry in the contest held for the students in Poultry. Fruit students have the benefit of experience gained in managing the school's high'producing orchard. Apples are graded and packed into stand' ard commercial baskets and crates by the future fruit growers. Field trips arc numerous, in which the arrangement of various orchards is studied. The Farm and Home Week program at Cornell, the Fruit Show at Kingston, and the Poultry Show at New York were well attended by the students of Ooblcskill. The Department of Agriculture prides itself upon the valuable knowb edge it gives its members knowledge which yields returns in operating a farm or obtaining a position following graduation. 1 10 ]

All of this we successfully survived, and were not long in demonstrating our worth in sporting and social activities, to say nothing of our scholastic record. When we organized at the beginning of the year we elected the following officers: President, Herbert Goldsmith; Vice-President, John Knapp; Secretary, Charles Brown: Treasurer, George Miller. We entered the inter-class games with true fighting spirit. We played, and in many cases defeated the Juniors and Seniors in Spcedball, Softball, Touch Football, Basketball, and Volley Ball. Our members took an active part in all of the school activities. The class gave a Shadow Social Program which provided amusement for the school and a source of revenue for the class treasury. We have an active, harmonious group, and we expect to set a new record of accomplishments as Juniors next year. [12]
