 What Is He Doing? An F. F. A. student. Bob Boots, is pictured above preparing to calibrate the cylinders on a Farmall Tractor. The Future Farmers of America is an organization which strives to train the boys of A. H. S. interested in farming to become better farmers. Mr. Ware is the instructor of the vocational agriculture class, and he is also the sponsor of the F. F. A. Hurrah! Two more points for our side. Mary Garcia tosses the ball to the basket, and others stand ready for the rebound. Also in the picture are Lupc Florez, Johnna Kettlehut, Mary Nielsen, Betty Nye, and Karen Moritz. The G. A. A. plays basketball about seven weeks each year. The group is divided into two teams, and they compete in a tournament to determine the winner. Juniors and seniors step into this activity more cautiously than do the sophomores, because sophomores are eager to become a part of the social functions of A. H. S. for the first time.
