Cadet Teaching and Vocational Agriculture Becoming the teacher gave A.C. ' s ex¬ ploratory teachers a chance to see classroom problems from the teachers point of view. Working with young children tried the patience of seven sen¬ iors but their efforts were often re - warded with smiles and You look nice Today. In many cases their experi¬ ences served as a basic for career choices. Ag Boys learned new and better tech¬ niques in the field of farming. Films judging teams, and field trips added a variety of ways to help the boys under¬ stand agriculture. In their studies they worked on farm management, keeping accurate records, and studying parlia¬ mentary procedure. Connie High helps one of her students in learning how to pronounce a word. Seniors fill out applications for State Farm Award.
