F. A. Fair is held each year, in the autumn season in the High School Agricultural Building in cooperation with the Middletown F. F. A. Chapter. The boys, whose names and pictures appear above, were selected from the Stephens City Chapter to have full management of the Fair. Each Superin tendent, along with his assistant, has full responsibility of the department as signed him. In short, we may say that the entire managerial responsib1lIty rests on the shoulders of these Fair Oflicials. FRED A. DOBBINS

FUN POR THE F. F. A. In addition to the many business activities of the Stephens City Future Farmers of America, several projects of recreation are promoted. The organiza- tion believes that, 'tall work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. The above pictures were taken while members of the Chapter were attending the State F. F. A. Camp located at lVlorgart's Beach on the James River near Norfolk. While attending the camp, the boys were able to visit Virginia Beach, James- town. Williamsburg, Suffolk Peanut Factory, Smithneld Ham Plant in Smith- Held, Virginia, and other interesting and educational points. A Each spring. our Chapter sponsors a farm tour to some point of interest. This year, our group went to the U. S. Department of Agriculture Experiment Station located at Beltsville, Maryland. While on this tour, we also spent some time having fun at Glen Echo Amusement Park in Washington and at the new Airport in Washington. It is not all work, you see. We have social affairs because we know they are necessary to help build a well-rounded personality. In addition, we hold our Father and Son Banquet annually. At this time, we demonstrate our achievements to our Fathers. The Rifle Match, held each winter in our shop. is another sport we all enjoy together. Boxing, baseball, softball and track are sports in which we all participate. F. A. DOBBINS 1.

E. E. A. FAIR EXHIBIT The above picture is the Farm Display exhibited by Ernest Davies and Nlaurice Carpenter. both seniors in Agriculture. The interest of such exhibits has been on a rapid increase each year and the exhibits have shown a growing ability on the part of the farm folk to plan, plant, and reap with intelligent care. ln the 1941 Fair, there were over 1,200 exhibits on display. This rep- resents hours of hard work and careful selection on the part of the boys studying Vocational Agriculture in order to have exhibits of high quality and merit. The spirit of competition is brought into the Fair since each boy competes against other Chapter members in the various classes. The competent judges sslected to judge the Fair are extremely careful in their selection of the prize winners. ln our 1941 Fair. Eugene Lupton had more prize-winning exhibits than any other boy. consequently, was awarded the High Score prize. ln connection with the Fair, we sponsored a Judging Contest. There were twelve competing teams. The Stephens City Chapter gave a gold cup to the winning team. We are proud to announce that Franklin Brumback was high man in apple judging while Billy Norman. another member of our Chapter, was high man in corn judging. ' We feel that our 1941 Fair was very successful and expect to make it a better Fair in 1942. F. A. DOBBINS
