Tlfce Homema ing Depafzfmenf The homemaking classes contributed their bit for victory as they emphasized the importance of the home on the home front. The eighth grade girls who wanted to use their money for war stamps made Christmas presents from scraps and waste material for members of the family and small relations. Among these presents were small elephants, pillow cases, and baby jackets. The freshmen have renovated old clothes for themselves and their family. They also worked on articles for the Red Cross such as Afghans, knitted bags, and wash cloths. The sophomore class worked on nutrition. They have done canning for the cafeteria, pre- paring corn, beets, tomatoes, carrots, and greens. For Christmas they made assorted cookies and each girl gave her mother a box of them. They also have baked bread, rolls, and pies. The juniors have studied personality and how to act when they are with other people. They also discussed how to improve themselves and develop their personalities more fully. The seniors have worked on rationing and its values. They now know why we should not have more than our share. They also studied how the war has affected the home front, what people should do to keep American homes normal, and how to build morale. They have been working on food by using substitutes so they can preserve their ration stamps for items really needed. Thus in the Held of clothing, food, personal behavior. buying and rationing, our home- making girls are equipped for war service on the home front. 7-lze agfziculfufzal Depafzfmenf The agricultural department, under the direction of Wilbur Farnsworth, a graduate of Cornell University. has spent one of its busiest war years, in response to the call for more food. The Van Hornesville boys repaired farm implements at the school shop, and also helped overhaul tractors during the tractor repair course at the Van Horne Farm shop. This was directed by Harold Moyer, in charge of machinery and equipment for Van Horne Farms. Fed- eral funds were provided for instructor, tools, and equipment for a complete overhaul job of a tractor. To obtain maximum production and to find which cows to cull, the boys have been test- ing about seven hundred dairy cows. They also purchased purebred calves. The Future Farmers were hosts this year for the annual Achievement day of the Tri- county group, consisting of eight agricultural departments of neighboring schools. The Van Hornesville FFA team placed third, with individual winners as follows: Peter Wichowsky, first in potatoes, with Stanley Wichowsky third. Chester Janczk placed second in the seed con- test. The Van Hornesville Future Farmers placed Good in Group C in the state wide Dairy Herd Improvement Record contest, receiving an award of Sl4.77. Many FFA members had garden, potato, poultry, and dairy projects. The Van Hornesville FFA was honored in having two leaders among the officers of the Tri-county group. They were Samuel Skandera as president and Eugene Dunckel as sentry. Combating many shortages, the Van Hornesville FFA has done its utmost to keep the home front producing. 1 ,f , ,dx W - 'F A , , V' ' F C' 5 V. 'F' ,ff , M- ' 8:1 . 26 The 1944 Otsquagan
