This was his first year with the drafting class. Mr. Pace, a veteran of l6 years in the vocational agriculture de- partment, coached students in all sides of farm work and sponsored the Future Farmers of America. Mr. Cunningham came last fall from Shreveport, La. He prac- ticed his cooking skills with Mr. Pace and other members of the travel-cooking crew that served dinner for the annual faculty pic- nic and the FFA Parents and Sons Banquet. Vacations were the signal for him to rush to Shreveport to visit his wife and three teen-age daughters, whom he hoped to bring to Arizona. In the spring and summer, he worked for the United States Forest Service along the Coro- nado Trail.
