Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1916-12-27

pleasant. While all of us did not /
win prizes and thus cover our {
selves with glory, am sure that {
those of us who did get beaten felt
that they were beaten in a fair :
contest, and those who were for
tunate enough to win prizes were ,
happy in the possession Of them.
l enjoyed the trip immensely and
gained lots of information which
will be of great use to me later in
life. We had a fine trip, pleasant
company and efficient but kind
leaders. Altho, while on the trip,
l had chance to view vast street
ches of beautiful country and was
given an opportunity to view acres
of machinery in operation, be-
lieve, as l look back on it over a
space of over a month, that the
thing which pleased me most VISA
the association with the men and
women who are, and the boys and
girls who are going to be import
ant factors in this agricultural
work of ours. Again, I wish to
thank all who helped to make this
trip both profitable and pleasant
for us and hope that another bunch
of boys and girls may make this
journey next year with as pleasant
time as I had.

h on seemed about six sizes too
/ small, but as it had $50 by 3" on
S it we stretched it on.
e Arriving in Newark we went tc
u one of the rooms of the agricul.
e tural department. The other boys
soon arrived and after a hearty
