Group Composed of Boys
Who Study Vocational
Agriculture
The Future Farmers of America
is an organization which extends
from Maine to Hawaili and from
Washington to Porto Rico. The
membership composed only of
boys who are or have been enroll
ed in a class of Vocational Agri
culture.
The name, Future Farmers, @des
not imply the real aim of the or
gallniution. Every member must
believe in the future of farming
and must have some experience
along the line of farming. In -the
meetings the boys learn parliamen
tary procedure. Public speaking is
especially emphasized. Rural lead
ership and the practice of thrift
is also stressed. ,
Our school was the first school
in the state to organize a Chapter
but was not the first to secure a
charter. The first Chapter was fin
ally disorganized. Since then nume
erous efforts to reorganize failed
until in the fall of 1934 the present
Chapter obtained its charter. The
following officers were elected: J.
T. Pittard, Pres., Roscoe Hans
ford, v-pres., Parks Lanier, sec.,
Paul Bryant, treas., and Carroll
Mathews reporter. Mr., Wilson
automatically became our advisor.
Being inexperienced in the work
of the organization, we found it
hard to keep going, but through
Mr. Wilson’s kind advise and the
never-dying interest we finally
struggled through. Delegates were
sent to the state convention at
Macon and livestock and seed
judging teams were entered in the
contest there. In the spring a plot
of la:d was very graciously dona
ted to the Chapter by Mr., C. C.
Carney. This was planted in corn.
The crop was exceedingly good in
spire of adverse conditions. In the
summer a sicall portion of the boys
enjoyed a fishing trip.
The same officers were retained
for the new year with the excep
tion of Roscoe Hansford, who was
replaced as vice-president by
Wesley Whitehead. We are look
ing forward to a great year. The
program of work will be announc
ed after next meeting. Several
community improvement projects
wiil probably be included. We ask
the ald and cooperation of the
commuuity in helping us to pro
mote these projects. Any advise or
sugge~tions will be asknowledged
and greatly appreciated.

SCHOOL PROGRAMS
The home economic department
is planning on giving a Valentine
party on Thursday night, February
11th, The exact nature of this
party has not yet been revealed, but
it is understood that a big occas
fon of fun is being undertaken, Just
what this form of entertainment
will envolve will be anxiously
looked to by those who will attend.
The Lanier Literary society will
present a variety program on Fri
day, ¥February 14th, This program
will consist of an “original ama
teur” entertainment with the fa
mous Major Bowes asg master of
ceremonies, A High school boy is
to take the character of this fa

probably be one of the most oute
standing programs to date.
Winterville will meet Celbert |
boys and’ girls in the local gym |
Friday night at 7:30 o'clock. Comer
will be met Saturday night at the
same hour and place,
“THE BREEZES”
A rare and colorful display is
the note book collection from the
ninth grade. The note book is on
“Silas Warner,” and the books are
made of every imaginable thing
in the world. The illustration are
gay amnd attractive.
It i rumored that Parks and
Donald are going to hold the male
love interest in the forth coming
Senior play.
The girls made a nice contribu
tion to the Indian games, but no
one seem to have lost a heart.
The nint hgrade is the finest
place in the world to get that
“heautiful look.” Services are ren
dered anytime during the noon
hour. Maybe a store will be start
ed.
Ritsie still loves Statham despite
the “raz” she received at the game.
It must be great to be remembered.
The school (High School) has
definitely resolved to do better
after the report cards last week.
The game old resolution. But will
it hold?
“Tove in Bloom” must be arcund
the corner for Mary Rogers keeps
asking about spring.
Paul has the mumps. It must
be great to be all “swelled up.” No
other cases have been reported in

A Valuable Possession
An old man once paused on the bring of a roaring
stream at twilight and with the help he had proceed
ed to make a bridge to pass over the stream. After he
had passed over the water, he turned aside to make
the. bridge stronger with some nearby materials. A
stranger who happened to be passing at that moment
inquired of the old man as to the reason he had for
building the bridge stronger after he had passed over
it. The old man turned from his work to tell the
stranger that he was building this bridge for the youth
who might not be strong enough to hear the load of
building a stronghold for himself.
The lesson this old man held for the younger gen
eration was that we should look to the building of our
lives for the future so that those who come after we
are gone will have an easier time and not stumble over
the obstacles that caused them to fail. Such a lesson
is priceless, but yet how often is it really heeded to?
A man may iive a long time before he realizes what
his life is for. A beggar may try to beg the best he
knows how so that he will not starve. A scissors
grinder tries to do his work better than any other
man so that he will be able to acquire more trade.
But the real test that one has to follow is, “How much
can I contribute to those about me?”
A man or a woman may get to own all the material
wealth of the world, but it will never be a thing that
will not fade with time. Money may buy comfort, but
it can ont buy true and undying happiness. It may
give pleasure, but that pleasure is only of short dura
tion.
Abraham of Bible fame came to the point in his life
where God had asked him to sacrifice his son as an of
fering to Him. Abraham was about to obey when an
angel interferred with the proceedings. A man who is
true to the trusts that are put upon him, and makes
an effort to serve in all that he has to do is one that
can become a possession to the people about him, and
he can keep the spirit of those he cheerishes in his
fondest hopes. : - .
We are like countries that fail to make a decent de
cision, but continue to quarrel about trivial things that
mean nothing and countless. A precious jewel is one
that will endure forever with time and will continue
to give off its bright and colorful luster. But so many
of us never dare to be our own selves. The time has
come when we want to be someone else. But the man
who stands up and shows the world what he is, can
never fail to gain the valuable possession of a true and
honest friend. A man’s most valuable possession is
gsome one that he can trust without fail, and someone
that he can depend upon at all times to be his guide
and co-worker. Do sou possess such a valuable pos
session?

WEATHER CONDITION
AND SICKNESS DELAY
SCHOOL FOR A WEEK
R e o
The weather hascontinued to be
bad the past two weeks. Due to
the bad roads and snow on the
ground, the school buses were not
permitted to run. Several schools
have continued to have school this
bad weather but Winterville did
not have school during the bad
weather. The school buses might
have made the trip alright, but is
a great risk to drive them as they
are liable to skid and injure or
kill the school children. It has al
ways been Clarke county’s rule not
to run buses on roads covered with
snow or sleet. By doing this we
hold a high record of not having
any serious accidents in the past.
It is best not to drive the buses
or have school on the bad cold,
rainy, or snowy days, because the
school attengance will be small
which causes the school averasel
attendance to be small at the end
of the year. I
It seems fair enough not to have
school when a iarse per cent are
absent, because they miss the work
and is hard for them to make it
up when they are so far behind
with their lessons. Instead the
school is clered until there will be
a larger per cent present and we
can get all the work togther.
Several have been sick due to
tde weather condition , and we
hope no more will get sick, because
it makes a low attendance and
causes them to loose so much work.
Although the cold weather con
tinues it is to be hoped that all
will be able to keep up the fine
attendence record, we have Kkept
in the part. Many are careless and
contract colds and other ailments
easily. A little pre caution will help
to remely this. »
—P. L. ‘36.
NEED IS SEEN FOR
MORE COOPERATION
‘Wake up, basketball squads. Fill
your hearts with a new spirit of
determination and let's start win
ning more of these games. &t
course everyone thinks he's doing
his best, but something is causing
the games to result in the oppon
ents’ favor.
With the good coaches of both
teams, ‘'we should be able to step
forward and win these games, but
it is almost impossible to do such
when the squads cannot get prac
tice.
| The diets of the members of eaeh
]team must be considered. Bvery
student that plays ball must obey
the training rules in order to dis
play their best qualities. If, in some
way, the teams could “pick up,”
they would feel more like trying
to gtick to the rules. Probably the
time has come where some feel that
1 it doesn’t matter,
All necessary things cannot be]
mentioned, but we do need new
suits. We need not worry about
this though, until more money is}‘
available. ]
The best thing I shall mentlonl
is the necessity for the cooperation
of the public. We would like to‘
ask them to keep up their good:
spirit in coming to see our games.
Due to bad weather, we have not
had many games lately, but hope
to do better with the few that are
left for the remainder of the bask- ’
etball season. Above all, we hope
to have a better team next year. ’

Modern Knighthood
In the olden days bands of
knights were formed to serve God
and protect the honors of women.
Today the knights are represent
ed by the Boy Scouts of America
who are celebrating their twenty
gixth anniversary. Over a million
Boy Scouts pledged themselves to
the Boy Scout oath to do their best
to their duty to God, obey the scout
law, to help other people at all
times, to keep physically =strong,
mentally awake and morally right.
This movement has made '‘a rich
contribution to American life. The
Scout law is based on a fine code
of social conduct and enjoins upon
the boy, in a positive way, honor,
courage, loyalty, and helpfulness to
all.
We can, as students of Winter
ville High school, pledge ourselves
to uphold the qualities of a mod
ern knight by observing the pledges
mentioned above and doing some
kind deed each day which will add
to the betterment of our commun-
Some of the morals taught by the
knights of old that may bhe come
pared with our modern day sports
are:
I.—Truth above everything else.
2.—Never strike a man while
he is dswn.
3.—Play fair and square.
1.~-Couitesy to all rich or poor.
s—To be a good sport.
In carrying out the qualities of
the modern knight, we are making
much progress toward a better na
tion by producing a citizen who will
be made to realize his civie réspon
sibilities and his debt to his com
munity, —H, P, 'B7. -

Swaps Barn, Trucks
For Swimming Hole,
But Won’t Move
By JOE DAVIS
JASPEK , Fla. — (AP)— Steve
Bird. well known Hamilton county
farmer, lost a barn, two trucks
scrap lumber and two automobile
‘nm:urs but gaine da backyard
swimming pool in exchange when
a lime sink suddenly caved in be
' neath the barn.
~ Bird said the sink began Sunday
morning, continued during the day
and even yet appears to be Wi('\-
ing.
Only by swift work on the part
of Bird and 'hastily-summoned
neighbors were they able to save
a new pick-up truck, which was
disappearing slowly into the ever
widening abyss.
The farmer’s small son spread
the a:arm about the strange prank
of nature,
The hole is now about 40 feet in
diameter, and presents a sheer
drop of 30 feet to water. Bird said
he took a sounding and played-out
90 feet of wire before an obstruc
tion was reached.
Even now, there are large fis
sures and cracks in the ground
around the spot, indicating that the
sink may go lower.
Bird said he recalled having heard
a dull, rumbling noise as he slept
Sunday morning, but thought it
was caused by a dynamite blast
somewhere in the mneighborhood.
. “\WVhen my little boy eame run
ning into my room, about an hour
later, and said the barn was fall
ing into hole, I decided to inves
tigate,” he said.
Rird stepped out of his back door
and was amazed to see his barn
sinking slowly beneath the hori
zon. His new truck, standing al
most on end, apparently was pre
paring to follow the barn to ‘obli
vion. The truck was lashed to
neaby trees and saved.
The edge of the sink now is
barely 30 feet from the back steps
of the farmer’s house.
NO. 18.
Asked if he intended to attempt
to fill up the hole, Bird said:
“No, indeed. This is the work of
the Lord and I won't touch it.”
He added, however, that the joh
would be impossible anyhow.
“Where in the world would I find
enough dirt to fill up the hole?”
Bird said he was planning to
move.
The hole filled with water as it
was created.
