Show It 011' Selling peanuts and popcorn at football games and turkeys at Thanksgiving was not the only responsibility for the members of the FFA. Although these major fund raisers were an important club activi- ty, being qualified to attend livestock shows all over Texas was a major achievement for these members. Rabbits, sheep, and various larger animals were projects for the future farmers. Raising animals and keeping a record of their growth was not an easy task. When asked what he lik- ed the most about being a member of FFA, Clinton Smith said, UI enjoy going to shows and participating in area and district meetings. For many of the members, attending stock shows was the highlight of the year.

Luckily school helped out. It had programs that help find jobs, one of which is H.E.C.E. H.E.C.E. lets students leave school so they could work and get credits towards their graduation. Over the years most students 'fr Vit who were looking for a job had the same problem, no experience. Some students found the answer, Distributive Education. In D.E., the students spent part of their time away from school where they learn- ed skills like operatin a cash register and meeting the pubic. Most students in the program en- joyed it.
