BLUE AND WHITE In a chemistry test Mr. Goddard asked what the meaning of suspension was in relation to chemistry. This is the answer he got from Terence Gage: “When someone keeps vou waiting.” What this school needs: A shock absorber to absorb the shock of cakes falling in Home Ec. Room. More special excuses signed. An elevator between the basement, first floor, second floor and the third floor. A smoking room for the boys. A room lined with mirrors for the girls. Fewer teachers, shorter hours and longer recesses. A door in the main room wide enough so 200 students can go through it abreast. “Following are a few letters received by the ‘Personal Service’ office of the Blue and White ‘Grin-nery.’ The letters have been answered by that specialist in heart (and private?) affairs, the ‘Grin-nery’ Editor. Here they are Dear Editor. All my pupils are complaining because I do not get my papers corrected on time over the weekend. What could I do to please my pupils? Yours for a girl in Yergennes. Raymond Dopp. My dear Mr. Dopp, You could find a few eligible young ladies in Vergennes. Some have had quite a little practice in correcting papers. With this kind of a young lady you could accomplish two things at one time. Ed. Dear Ed.. Due to the long trips I have to take at night I am coming in nearer the last than nearer the front of the pack at cross country meets. Yours for a car, M. P. Raymond. My Dear Mr. Raymond. The best remedy would be to receive help from a friend that goes your way almost as much as you do. A Model A may not be as good as the other but you are sure of a ride back. Ed. Dear Editor. We have been planning a house some time. We can not agree where to put the dog house. What can I do? H. Goddard. My Dear Mr. Goddard. With the fine dog-house you received last year at Class Day you should not be in doubt as to where it should be put. After the walks you take toward the cemetery, and looking at the red barn that I understand that you are going to convert into a house. I should think that you could have it planned by now where you are going to stay. Ed. Dear Ed., With three girls to accompany home after night school they think that 1 should accompany them home all the time. Not having a sedan I can not do it all the time. Now what? L. Kirby. My Dear Mr. Kirby, Your lucky. Ed. PAGE TWENTY-ONE

The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of farm boys studying vocational agriculture in public and secondary schools under the provision of the national vocational educational acts. Courses in vocational agriculture were first established in the United States in 1917. From the very beginning the boys who were enrolled in these courses in various states felt a spirit of comradeship due to their background of country life and desires with regard to farming as a vocation. Within a few years, a number of local departments of vocational agriculture in most states had developed so called “Agricultural Clubs,” the members being composed of students of vocational agriculture. Such organizations were, in many instances, largely social and recreational in nature, but certain educational, self-improvement and cooperative features were often included as well. PAGE TWENTY-THREE
