139 11 GIRLS' BASKETBALL SUMMARY Although 1936 spelled defeat for the Girls' Basketball team, it was not inglorious defeat. Each loss proved an incentive to make the girls work harder. Such formidable rivals as the Kinzua High School veteran team and the Black and White of Russell High School presaged defeat for us, for both these were to take the league honors. The Kinzua team won the en- viable first place in the Allegheny Valley League, and Russell took second rank. The home team keenly felt the loss of such players as Elizabeth Sword and Doris Eng- strom, who teamed together at the forward positions, Margaret Williams, who proved an ex- ceptionally strong centerg and jean Cornell, who showed herself a staunch guard-all of whom played the four preceding years. This year's line-up and those who received emblems were Minerva Thorpe and Grace Cora nell, forwardsg Margaret Wright, Dorothy Sands, and Mayme Burt, guardsg Mary Andersen, centerg and Evalyn Milspaw, side center. The substitutes were Ruth Schoonover, Jane Abbott, May York, and Alfreda Hilldale.

APLE if Q l BOYS' BASKETBALL SUMMARY As a member of the Upper Allegheny Valley Basketball League, joint Vocational School played its initial game with Lander High School, january tenth, on the home court. The game resulted in a victory for the visitors. Of the eight League games played, the Maroon and Gray lost three-two to Lander and one to Kinzua, giving our team third position in the final standing. Both of the non-league games were lost to a fast moving quintet from Jamestown Business College. Although the team decidedly felt the loss of such men as Burt, Richard- son, Ricker, Sandquist, and Weber, the record is a commendable one. With four returning lettermen for a nucleus and some very good reserve strength on hand, the general prospects for the 1936 season are bright. Allen Curtis and Curtis Norbeck did not play enough quarters to warrant the reward of the coveted S, yet both proved capable suh- stitutes. Those awarded letters were Captain Lawrence Ahhott, Richard Allenson, Dale Nobbs, Rodney Barlow, Kenneth Williams, Moran McGrath, Robert Williams, and Student Manager, Scott Stuart, jr.

Among the purposes of the Future Farmers of America, a club formed by vocational boys, are these: to create a love of country life, to provide recreational and educational entertain- ment, to establish the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work, and to develop local leadership. The usual activities of the local F. F. A. organization, are a father and son banquet, several trips to manufacturing plants, and judging in state contests. Several of the best student judges of cattle go to State College to participate in the annual state judging contest. In January some are privileged to visit the State Farm Show at Harrisburgg the boys selected this year were Dale Nobbs, Harmon Hinsdale, and George LaVigne. One of last year's members, Arlie Drake, was selected in january, l936, to receive the Key- stone Farmer Degree at the State Farm Products Show. Each year our state awards this degree to the twenty-hve boys of the F. F. A. who have done the best work in vocational agriculture Our school takes great pride in the fact that one of our students is the hrst boy of Wvarren County to win this honor. g is
