The ribbons offered by the National 

 Holstein Association to the best judge of 

 Holsteins in the contest was won by 

 Wayne Phillips. 



The younger boys and girls not in- 

 terested in judging were busy with sports 

 on the track. Mr. Fobes of the Y. M. C. 

 A. had charge of these. 



The afternoon program started with a 

 band concert from 1.30 to 2.00 o'clock. 

 At just 2.00 o'clock the club pageant 

 went by the grandstand. Alberta Bard- 

 well riding her pretty black horse 

 "Bobbie" marshalled the praade. Fol- 

 lowing her came a group of girl-scout 

 club girls carrying an outspread flag. 

 Next were some Northampton garden 

 club members carrying club signs. 

 Then came the competitive floats. There 

 were sixteen in all. The judges were 

 State Club Leaders Farley, Miss Dorothy 

 Murdock, and Miss Vera Smith, Home 

 Agent of Franklin County. They cer- 

 tainiy had a job on their hands. All the 

 floats were mighty good. The prizes 

 were finally awarded as follows: 



1st — Pelham, which had a marching 

 body of its twenty-three club members, 

 representing all the projects it carries on. 



2nd — East Amherst bread club. 



3rd — Chesterfield handicraft and sew- 

 ing clubs. This float was noticeable be- 

 cause it was drawn by four horses. 



4th — North Amherst handicraft club. 



.5th— Smith Scliool Poultry Club. 



6th— Bay State Garden Club. 



The other ten floats were entered by 

 the Easthampton Garden Club, North- 

 ampton Garden Club, Westhampton Sew- 

 ing Club in which all the girls wore the 

 club uniforms they had made, Hatfield 

 Canning Club, Huntington Canning Club, 

 Worthington Room Club, Belchei'town 

 Canning Club, Blue Meadow Canning 

 and Garden Club, North Hatfield Sewing 

 and Handicraft Club, and Cummington 

 Canning and Agricultural Club. 



After the floats came all the calf club 

 member with their calves. This part of 

 the procession was headed by Anna 

 Graves on her horse. 



Coming on the end of the pageant were 

 the Northampton girl scouts who gave a 

 demonstration while the floats went
