The Aledo Chapter of Future Business Leaders of America is the fastest growing club on campus. This year there are fifty-nine members. FBLA holds monthly meetings and normally is involved in some type of project. In October the meeting was at the Old Spaghetti Warehouse for the installation of officers. Also, in October the FBLA members were involved in selling lace picture frames for one of their money-making projects. In November they sold Canisters 'n Corn. The money from the fund-raisers is used for chapter operating expenses and for the state leadership conference. Another activity was the creation of Free Enterprise appreciation notices which were included in all December statements from the Aledo State Bank. The service project for the year began in March which consisted of making buttons for pre-school children in case they are lost. The Outstanding Project Report, written mainly by Michel Ingram, describing the chapter's fingerprinting project won first at district and state and fifth place tout of over 100 reportsj at the national level. Members attended the area workshop in October and the state conference in March. The motto HGetting Involvedii truly fits the organization. I hear Congratulations are in order! Mrs. Ingram accepts a cer- tificate from FBLA president Mike Holley. Getting Involved FBLA 35

uture armers of merica The local chapter of the Future Farmers of America has traditionally been a very strong and active organiza- tion at Aledo, and this year has been no exception. The officers traveled to New Mexico for a week long meeting to plan the activities for the year in June. In July, they attended the State FFA Convention in Lubbock where they won the National Superior Chapter Award. Despite the new state laws, the FFA members par- ticipated in several livestock shows including the Parker County, the State Fair, the Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio shows. The FFA members have also received many in- dividual and team honors during the year. Tim Soules was elected District Treasurer. Three judging teams - Dairy Products, Poultry, and Dairy Cattle - went to state. At the District Leadership Contest five out of the seven attending placed. Some other activities for the FFA included sponsor- ing a Hunter Safety course, hosting a district meeting, attending the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, and selling fruit, turkeys and sausage in December for their major moneymaking project. Phil Bradford and Jack DeShazo, FFA sponsors., have done an excellent job in directing all of the activities.
