AlWood's F.F.A. sponsors many activities, one of which is the AlWood Calf Club. This is its story. Borrowing from the Bank is a must for the first year calf-club member. In the picture below are two freshman F.F.A. boys talking with Bank Cashier Kenneth Mecum, learning the experience of paying interest on borrowed money and that capital also costs money. The calves were bought from a ranch in Southwestern Missouri and were shipped here for sorting into pens of four. The boys in the next picture are drawing lots to determine which pen of calves will be theirs to feed for the next eleven months. F.F.A. OFFICERS Steve Johnson, President Paul Shepherd, Vice President Richard Peterson Secretary Ray Olson, T reasurer Greg Miller, Sentinel Roger Miller, Reporter Robert Carlson, St. Council Rep.
