FFA Keeps Growing The Future Farmers were an active group with many different activities. In the fall they were busy with their fruit sales which were very successful. On November 5, three of the members went to the National FFA convention in Kansas City. Jaimey Schempp, Ke- vin Hamilton and Keith Lapour en- joyed their trip and had a memorable learning experience. The group received a $900 grant from the South Dakota Department of Agri- culture which will be put to good use. They spent it on a BOSDC project which consisted of a mobile blood pres- sure unit, a garage door opener for the ambulance, a new oxygen head, and an ambulance wheelchair lock. A Vial for Life Program was also started. Above-Members dressed for the occasion of Farmer Day during FFA week activities. Above- 1979-80 Chapter of FFA Row 1, from left, D. Sommervold, K. Lapour, D.

And The Beat Goes On! Band members spent a busy year, dividing their time between concert band, stage band and pep band. The wheels started turning in the fall, when the marching band travelled to USD and Madison for the colleges’ homecoming day parades. Flag carriers were a welcome addition to the band, and a change from the pompon girls of the past. They performed a routine w the band during parades, and at the customary halftime show at Alcester’s own homecoming. Wintertime meant that the musicians had to begin practicing for the instrumental contest at Vermillion, an event where Alcester placed well, receiving several superior rationgs. The fall, Christmas, spring and Pop’s concerts kept the band working hard and the stage band kept in practice for their annual combination concert with the Moodlighter’s. Fund raising was also a time-consumer as the band worked for money to get them to Omaha, where they performed at a Royals game during the summer months.
