The Young Farmers' Association of B.H.S. was first established in New York State August 1926. It was first introduced for the purpose of giving the young boys, who are growing up to take the place of their fathers, an opportunity to learn better ways of farming while in High School, for so many boys do not go any farther than High School. Three years ago B.H.S. added Agriculture to its course of study. At the beginning of the school year of 1931, the Young Farmers Association reorganized with Mr. Coe as teacher and advisor. The officials elected were as follows: president, Roger Franks, Secretary: Elton Fletcher. This band of Future Farmers holds a meeting each year at some school. The organization is divided into sections, with several schools in a section. This year the meeting was held at Afton. Each school usually presents some form of amusement or skit. Of course we attempted to present one. After these were presented, came the lunch hour. Of course we all participated in this. Then a few remarks were given by some of the leaders and also some good advice with regards to our work. In our department we are doing our best to get the most out of this course, that we may apply it in our farm work, and make a success of furniture. Otherwise we would not receive this training. We band together, forming an organization and working out better ways in which to obtain the best results. So come along boys and join us in the work. We'll try and give you a good time along with our course of study.
