America is a national organization
consisting of farm boys who are
taking vocational agriculture in the
High Schools throughout the State.
One of the objects of the organiza-
ton is wholesome recreation and the
students usually take a sight seeing
tour or a camping trip In the sum-
mer. This years trip will be spent
at Oak Orchard in the cottage called
''The Nest" at Riverdale Park. Each
member will assist with the pro-
visions and the balance will be pur-
chased from their treasury. Menus
for each day and each meal have
been prepared so as to simplify
matters and insure a well balanced
meal of good wholesome food. A
cook has been secured and will ac-
company the boys on the trip, doing
the cooking and other work around
the cottage. About eighteen boys
are expected to make the trip. The
weeks sports activities will consist
OF baseball, pitching horse shoes,
fishing. grabbing, swimming and
hikes. The party will be chaper-
oned by J. o. McWilliams instructor
of vocational agriculture.
