Page Twenty-Nine The purposes of this club are to have judging contests, create a greater interest in vocational agriculture work, to have the farmers of the community become acquainted with the work of their boys by giving banquets, fairs, and other activities that bring the farmers in contact with their sons and the sons of their neighbors; also to have the boys become men who are interested in community work. The activities have not been great this year, but we expect them to be greater next year. Meetings have been held every other Friday since organization. After the business session the meeting is turned over to the program committee which gives short interesting programs. It was voted at one of the meetings that a Father and Son banquet be given. Mr. Clark was elected chairman of the banquet committee. The banquet did not turn out to be a financial success, but it was a success otherwise. Prof. Roy E. Jones, the speaker of the evening, spoke on The World Poultry Congress. We also had with us Prof. C. B. Gentry of Storrs Agricultural College, and Mr. Coombs, both of whom gave a short talk. The High School girls served the dinner, and Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Minor prepared it. We were fortunate enough to have Mr. Horace Ericksson give a short talk to the club at one of our regular meetings. His talk was on Arbor Day and Forest Fire Prevention. THE SENIOR ENGLISH CLUB One of the most interesting features of the year to any Senior has been the Senior English Club, otherwise known as the “Curriculum ad faciendum meliorem anglicum.” A constitution modeled after the constitution of the United States was formed. Meetings were held every Friday afternoon during English class period. A schedule was arranged whereby each member had to be responsible for one program and one other program jointly with someone else. There have been many interesting programs by the members themselves and many interesting talks by outside speakers. The speakers whom we have enjoyed hearing throughout the year are as follows: Rev. Edward Hickcox of Southbury, whose topic was “W’ho Is the Lover of Good English?” Mr. Harmon Boyd, who spoke on the subject of “Credit Instruments.” Rev. M. E. N. Lindsay of South Britain, who spoke on the “Effective Use of English.” Mr. P. R. Savage of the Woodbury Telephone Co., who explained to us the workings of the telephone system. Mr. A. E. Knox, who told us of the newspaper of today and that of fifty and sixty years ago. Dr. Harold E. Travers, who spoke on “Ancient Diseases.” Mrs. Hoadley Willes, who spoke on Social Service Work, and the duties of a Police Woman. Mr. William Burton of Woodbury, who spoke on Insurance. To them we express our gratitude for the trouble they took to give to us these interesting and educational talks. The English Club has enjoyed several social events also, among them a farewell party for James Lockwood when he started for Florida, and a kitchen shower and party in honor of Mrs. Coombs. Each member feels that the formation of this club has been of the greatest benefit, and we heartily recommend its continuance in the future. FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE NOTES As for social activities, these two classes have not had many, but they have given to Woodbury High School a number of promising athletes, actors, actresses and singers. We sincerely hope that they will continue to improve and expand in order to give our school and town something of which to be proud within the next four years. ♦♦♦♦♦♦ JUNIOR ACTIVITIES 1930-1931 Many of the Juniors have taken part in either basketball, baseball, track, glee clubs, or the school play. One of the largest Junior activities of the year was the Junior dance, at Christmas. The hall was decorated in the class colors, Maroon and Silver. The posters were also painted in these colors. Paul Buckmiller's Orchestra furnished the music for the evening. A faithful few did the decorating, and it is hoped that more of the Juniors will participate in the work, preparatory to the Junior Prom, which will be given in honor of the Seniors. ♦♦♦ SENIOR NOTES The class of 1931 has just completed a very happy year, and we are sorry to say, our last. We have been kept busy writing for the school papers, playing baseball and basketball, acting in plays, singing in concerts, so the year has been a full one. The class traveled in to Waterbury to Gualtieri’s Studio one fine day, and had an experience that none will forget. We are still haunted by that momentous word “Next!” We gave a number of dances during the year which were very successful, and which we enjoyed planning. We hope all future Seniors will have as enjoyable and interesting a year, as the one we have just passed, and we wish them success in all their undertakings. ++++ ++ + + ++ + ++++++ ++ + + ++++ +
