FUTURE FARMERS OF WOODBURY The Woodbury chapter of the Future Farmers of America, is a part of the National Organization of students of Vocational Agriculture. We organized during the first semester of 1933-34 with the following officers:President, Gilbert Roswell, Vice-president, Foster Whitney, Treasurer, Harvey Stone, and Secretary, Edward Hine. Only boys studying Vocational Agriculture are eligible to join this association. The membership roll at present is Gilbert Roswell, Foster Whitney, Charles Grisgraber, and Walter Krakauskas. Juniors: Donald Wilson, Simon Moskus, John Moskus, and Wilfred Warner. Sophomores: Clarence Pierce, Russell Weymer, Truman Minor, Lewis Minor, Frederick Gracy, and Stanley Liz-auskas, Freshmen. The local chapter set-up for this year’s program of work: 1. That the local chapter be represented at the State Judging Contest. 2. That we increase the membership of our chapter. 3. That we have a representative at the State Speaking Contest. 4. That regular initiations be held the first month of each semester. 5. That the local chapter sponsor an egg-laying contest for our department. 6. That the local chapter sponsor milk distribution for the Community Nurse Association. 7. That we cooperate in promoting a state camping trip. 8 That the local chapter apply for a State Charter. 9. That we make contact with chapters in other States. A fitting initiation and banquet was arranged on the Friday before the Christmas vacation by the two boys who first were members, Gilbert Roswell and Foster Whitney. The second semester initiation and banquet was carried out just before Easter and six more boys became full-fledged members. The boys dedided to have another election, and in April a meeting was held for that purpose. The following were elected: President, Donald Wilson, Vice-President, Clarence Pierce, Treasurer, Gilbert Roswell and Secretary, Charles Grisgraber. The local chapter has had a good year with a total of fourteen members. All have satisfied the requirements of the Green hand” degree and so are entitled to wear the insignia of that rank. Gilbert Roswell represented the local chapter at the F. F. A. speaking contest held at Storrs. Walter Krakauskas a member of our chapter was elected State reporter for the F. F. A. The program of work set up at the beginning of the year has been completed one hundred percent. -T At the Connecticut Dairyman’s Association meeting, Gilbert Roswell won first prize of $25 with his essay Why people in Connecticut should use more Ayshire Milk.” THE PANTRY MRS.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL The season this year was not very successful, particularly due to the fact that most of the players were new to the game. It is expected that next year there will be a better team because of the practice these new players have received this year. William Swanson was captain of the team and star player. Seventeen games were played altogether. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL This year the girls started playing basketball with almost an entirely new squad. There were four freshmen and most of the others were, also, new at the game, but they soon learned. Polly Overton, a Senior who entered Woodbury High School last fall was elected captain. Myrle Clark and Adelaide Poulin proved to be the star forwards and Mary Gruber, was, indeed, an excellent guard, who developed a technique all her own of distracting the attention of her forward. The girls who went out for basketball were: Polly Overton, Esther Lundin, Anne Plungis, Margery Butler, Ruth Burton, Jessie Smith, Olive Bryant, Evelyn Fowler, Lois Fray, Myrle Clark, Adelaide Poulin, Mary Gruber and Ruth Reichenbach.

THE MIRROR The Mirror, our school newspaper, has been issued weekly as a single sheet, for the price of one cent per copy. The subscription price of twenty-five cents a year has been in effect since September, 1933. Margery Butler was Editor for the first semester. After exams, the Seniors became Honorary Members. James Richards ’35, was chosen Editor-in-chief, and Ernest Hicock, assistant Editor. Elections were held for members from the various classes to make up a new staff. The Junior members were the same as formerly: James Richards, Ernest Hicock, Concetta Rossi, Virginia Scoville. Members elected from the Sophomore class were Charlotte Frazier, Miriam McHughes, Kathryn Sears, and Edward Overton. All the Sophomores except Kathryn Sears were new members. Helen Martin and Catherine Klatka were chosen from the Freshman Class. During this semester two new innovations have been made: a contribution box has been placed in Room 10, so that anyone may pass in his contributions at any time. The other new feature of the paper has been the introduction of crossword puzzles. Otherwise the paper has been kept much the same, and has been distributed regularly. THE POMPERAUG VALLEY RIFLE CLUB In the winter of 1933 the Pomperaug Valley Rifle Club was organized with eleven members. The following April the Club became affiliated with the National Rifle Association. Mr. Albert L. Knox was chosen Instructor and Judson Dar-row, organizer of the club was elected President. The object of the club was three-fold; pleasure, character building, and the physical benefits derived from the trainig of nerves and muscles to a fine degree of coordination. It is to be regretted that at the last club meeting on April 16, 1934, it was decided that for various reasons, the club should dissolve. Let us hope that the Archery Club will get as much enjoyment from their sport as the Rifle Club did from theirs, but we desire to wish it a longer life. We wish to acknowledge our obligation to the following people or organizations whose financial help has made this book possible. By allowing us to use the space which they purchased, they have made it possible to materially lessen the cost of this book. We hope that our friends will reward them accordingly. C. L. Adams Co. H.
