Second Years School Pioneers Listen, you students, and you shall hear A story of the Dixies brave pioneers. On the sixteenth of September, nineteen and twelve The students decided to govern themselves, So they called them together, the great and the small, And stated their motives alike unto all. They all talked it over, and cast- growth, if the class is an active body. Watch us grow. ing their vote Elected a captain to guide their frail boat ; And so they stopped drifting, and sailed out to sea, A grand Normal College these students would be. One man could not guide them alone, they soon found, So others were chosen, who by duty bound Would give him wise counsel and aid in the strife Of finding for students a place in this life. lut as autumn days rolled by, the students soon found That strict laws were needed, for some hung around In class rooms and halls and on street corners too, For theres always someone who has nothing to do. Put now thats all over, rule making is done, The fight that they started has been gloriously won. Florence W. Whats the matter They say the lately? lbs are slumbering taking a winter nap prehaps. Dont let people get such ridic- -' ulus ideas into their heads. Remember the good times we had at our class party. Well therell be more like it if youll all lend a hand.

We are certainly proud of the talents of our class and the willingness to respond. We all realize that class organization assists in One of the prime objects of our endeavor has been accomplished. We are now directly connected with all our sister clubs of the state. The Ag. Club at Logan has brought this about by publishing a club paper known as the Ag. Club Link, a copy of which is sent to every club member throughout the state. Each club is invited to send in notes to be published in its columns. And a tournament is to be given each spring, at the U. A. C. for the purpose of competitive work' in judging farm animals, poultry, seeds, etc. Each club is invited to send a judging team. This, it is hoped, will bring all of the clubs in closer contact, enabling each to be benefitted through its cooperation with the others.

Eldridge, one of the Extension Division of the J. A. gave us an intereston talk the dairy problem, ing the essence of which was: To be successful, your cows must be dairy cows by performance rather than by pedigree. February 27, President Moody conducted a discussion on the weeds of Dixie. It was the most interesting discussion we have had this winter. We only regret that all the farmers of Washington county were not present. lad they been there, we are sure they would have been aroused to the necessity of cooperation to errad-icat- e some of the most dangerous enemies of the farm. It is certain that cooperation is the only effective means of ridding ourselves of these troublesome pests. Arthur L. Crawford. I |
