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

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.

AlP'lL.lt3 1-' E2 SOCCER Soccer, a sport introduced as a substitute for fall baseball, has been played in our school for five years, but it is still considered a minor athletic activity by us. A quite general un- fzuniliarity with the game both by the townspeople and, to some extent, by the student body seems to account for less enthusiasm in this sport than in our other athletic contests. The 1935 team was organized by Coach Frost early in September, and encountered the Blue and Yellow team of Lander for the initial game during Fair Week. Of the seven games of the season, which closed October 30, one game was a victory and two games were tie scores. The letter men of the team were Captain Dale Nobbs, Lawrence Abbott, Richard Aliens son, Elwood Barlow, Rodney Barlow, Allen Curtis, Arthur Engstrom, Chester johnson, Carl Larson, Moran McGrath, Scott Stuart, Jr., and Robert Williams. These boys also deserve mention although they did not receive awards: Patil Burt, Sidney Nobbs, Curtis Norbeck, Lauren Shreve, Charles Strand, and Kenneth Williams. SOCCER SCHEDULE S. G.
