President - Richard Kellogg Vico Pres.- Donald Wyant Secretary - Thomas Haskell Treasurer - Eugeno Nelson Roportcr - Richard Allen Advisor - Mr. Gray The Whitcsvillc High School Future Farmers have taken many varied tripe during the pa3t year. Last summer several members went to the Western New York Bull Sale held at Angeli and participated in judging contests. We had a booth at the Allegany County Fair at Angelica and entered the judging con- tests, Basil Downey received first place in the potato judging contest. We spont a few days at the Now York State Fair at Syracuse the wcok before school started last fall. Our next main activity wa3 the Father and Son banquet held in the Methodist Church on November 8. There wero over seventy in attendance and it was quite a success. During Farm and Homo Week in Fobruary at Ithaca several boys spont a few days there. In April Mr, Howe and Mr, Gray took the Ag, 2 and 3 classes on a trip up the Genesee River valley around Mt, Morris, Perry and Gonosco, Here we visitod the large farms where peas and sweet corn aro raised and also stopped at a large purobrod guornsoy farm. On May 29 ten boys went on the annual Allogany County FFA tour which was thi3 yoar conducted by Clifford Harrington, tho county Farm Bureau agent. It was a land classification trip and we had a first hand opportunity to sec all the various typos of land in Allegany County and what is being dono with it. On June 14 several of us expect the Allegany County FFA picnic to be hold at Rushford at which time the horsoshoo pitching contest will be held.

CHEERLEADERS Until this year there has been little cooperation with the basketball team by way of cheering t hem on to win. In their white satin blouses and black jumpers (also thoir rod and whito bows which brought thorn many frionds) Phyllis and Dortha becamo very prominont in attending tho ball gamos. They choorod tho boys out of sad into happy moods, and found them winning many times. Wo think that next fall's ball team will be lost without Dot and Phil , but may we hope that the noxt cheer leaders will be as successful as they have boon. Wo were glad to see tho school spirit in tho girls who tried out for noxt year: Lois Harris, Joy Ainsworth, Jean Fitzpatrick, Ruth Fitzpatrick, Arloinc Frooman. Wo wish you all lots of luck, and we hopo that Jane Snow, Barbara Smith, and Holon Grover will someday take their turn as chocrlcadors. PITCHING HORSESHOES The Ag boys havo made a horso shoo pitching court, and from the threo Ag. classos the bost player will be chosen. There will also bo a second best player. They aro holding a tournament to find the best playor who will represent the school at tho county horse shoe pitching contost at Rushford on Juno 14, and at tho Stato Fair in Syracuse in August. - —■— TENNIS Our old tennis court has boon repaired and improved so tonnis is becoming a popular sport in W.
