FF PRIDE Well, another year has passed, and FFA proves to us again that it's one of the most popular and profitable clubs on campus. Many people associate FFA with animals and farming only, but according to Mr. Brumley, agriculture chairman and FFA sponsor, Hwhat l'm trying to teach the kids is a skill or trade that they can use later on in life to obtain a good iob and make good money. The activities are about as many and as varied as there are individuals in the organization. The activities vary from raising, showing and selling baby lambs to learning about landscaping. For FFA, the year didn't start at September, it started way back last summer when FFA went to the Victorville Fair. There their garden exhibits won first and second places, and i't also brought S250 to the Chapter. The next maior event that FFA participated in was the Pomona Fair. There, FFA receivec S300 for their garden exhibits Their next activity is the Orange Show, and FFA always fares wel there- Besides being busy off - campus the club is busy working very harc trying to improve relations with the rest of the school.

RD VISIT It was a grand idea, and it worked.Several German Club students and adviser Mr. Kanold decided to take advantage ot Steve Fords' enrollment at Cal Poly, Pomona. They approached the, young Ford, the former president's son, to speak at the tund raising banquet held in May 1976, two months priorto the summer German trip. Hundreds ot community people attended the event and the club earned several hundred dollars, plus the Future Farmers ot America, sponsored by Mr. Brumely, donated special loanstothe German Club students. Still owing the loan the German Club kept their word and continued tund raising proiects in the tall atter the tour. One was the German disco - dance held before Christmas vacation. Hopefully the club has paid all their debts atter experiencing aenioyabletrip abroad. MIX ,ff .,g ..is. l 2 Activities . . . Naturally l69
