The F. F. A. was first established in the United States in 1917. Within a few years the organisation had spread over several states and today every state in the United States has an F. F. A. organization. Members of the F. F. A. learn through active participation how to conduct and take part in a public meeting, to speak in public, to buy and sell cooperatively, to solve their own problems, to finance themsel¬ ves, and to assume civic responsibility. The foundation upon which the F. F. A. organization is built includes leadership and character devel¬ opment , sportsmanship , co-operative service, thrift, scholarship,improved agriculture, organized recreation, and citizenship and patriotism. The Summerfield boys under the able guidance of Mr. Bowden have competed in several contests, such as livestock judging, seed judging, and public speaking. They have won first place honors in livestock and in public speaking. Their hope is that farm homes may become more attractive places in which to live by living up to the F. F. A. roottot Learning to do. Doing to learn. Earning to live, Living to serve. m m i -j nM ' J.-t VX rMJM.rn.fKwm i

BRnBnR ap The Glee Club, almost forgotten the first four months of the school year, started the New Year with a burst of song and enthusiasm. There were among the thirty-four prospective serenaders several of our faith¬ ful members of the past year who now claim senority and many new and promising voices of underclassmen down through the eighth grade. The first day brought moans and groans when Mrs. Noah,- still Miss Barker to us, announced her desire to have each girl sing alone. Despite the tortuous knocking of knees and trembling of voices that dreadful or¬ deal was soon ended and everyone, having discovered his talent for stage fright, relaxed with a sigh. January, blanketed over with snow and sleet meant no school and no practice for two weeks. By the end of February, however, strains of three part harmony began to float lazily into every corner of the audi¬ torium echoing and re-echoing as it drifted down the halls. Soon everyone began to feel the thrill of such a number as The Years at the Spring in which six brave sopranos tackel a high A and hold it while the second sopranos and altos swell into a magnificent fi¬ nal chord. This number deserved great effort because it was the time the judges would hear when we appeared in the dignity of our black and white robes at the County Contest. This was to be a great contest, the first of it ' s kind in the coun¬ ty. Everyone was excited when a blue streamed chartered bus arrived to transport ' the Glee Club to Allen Jay School near High Point. Thebe they were to compete with twelve other schools in Guilford County. The se¬ lected group, representing Summerfield was determined to represent the school well. The contest was, of course, the highlight of the year,but how could a class graduate from Summerfield without the Glee Club paying its tra¬ ditional tribute in song. Realizing this, the girls all settled down to the hard job of learning Ave Maria in Latin for graduation. It is only through the diligent efforts of the Parent Teachers ' Association that we are able to have the Glee Club and Public School Music in our school, and at this time we wish to extend our sincere thanks to many of the parents and to Mrs. Noah.
