TENDING THE COW. Vicki Duns- more, Tina Marsh, and Tammy McMorris have fun. Humor was one of the highlight of their second peri- od class. ICTION F H FFA is out of 1 the ordinary and BH something new, explained Michelle Stevens, about being a member of FFA. (Future Farmers of America). The FFA partici- pated in eleven parades and placed first in ten of them. We keep our horses groomed really good. We have lots of fun when we participate in parades, Kristy Klapper related. Aside from being out- standing in parades, FFA ' s mounted group held the re- served champions of the California State Horseman Association. FFA also held reserved champions in the Southern California Parad- ers. Tami McMorris com- mented, We meet one of the leaders in charge of the State Horseman Association and he gave us ififormation and helpful tips on how to get into it. Tina Marsh joined this club because, You get to ride in parades, go to fairs, and so much more. Yet on the other hand, Richard Alder- man commented, I joined to learn more about animals and how to care for them. FFA NOT JUST RAISING ANIMALS Michelle Stevens said, My sister was secretary of F.F.A. and got me into it. Ms. Alice Yaryan, the advi- sor, has been teaching agri- culture for the past eleven years. FFA is stereotyped as a group that only grows animals. We also do lands- caping, floral-culture, arti- culture, home improvement, work experience and the list goes on, Ms. Yaryan ex- plained. FFA also attends nu- merous fairs and shows. I judge on horses right now, and eventually I ' ll judge for livestock, Tina Marsh stat- ed. She also added, The club has taken workshops on judging horses in shows. Many hours of preparation and learning go into it. FFA meets once a month on campus in the evenings and also attends a section meeting for the district ev- ery other month at various schools. Vicki Dunsmore stated, At the state con- ventions you room with peo- ple from other cities. It ' s really fun. Ms. Yaryan summed it up by stating, Here we teach the kids ag- riculture is a business, not a hobby! WORKING ON HER CLASS PRO- JECT, Kristie Klapper keeps tabs on her pig. The animals were boarded on campus adjacent to the baseball field. ATOP A HORSE. Tammy McMorris rode the horse around before the parade. Tammy participated in nu- merous parades this year. FFA 77,
