The members participated in soil and livestock judging contests; the members built a float for homecoming; the officers attended the annual officers banquet and training school at Chenoa; and the chapter went to the International Livestock Show in Chicago. Much farm machinery was repaired in the shop where the boys learn by doing. A big night was the annual Parent and Son Banquet, at which awards for the past year were presented. OFFICERS 51ROW 1: J.

The members of the A.F.S. chapter feel, as the entire student body feels, that we have been very honored and fortunate to have with us Jose Ricardo Cabo Soler, our foreign exchange student from Valencia, Spain.

We feel that through us he has learned much of our way of life, and from him we are now better able to understand our European neighbors. From all his friends here at El Paso High School we wish Richard a full measure of success and happiness in the future 52 Jose Ricardo Cabo SolerROW 1: Roger Bradle, Roger Miller, Donald Armstrong, Sam Wadsworth, Steve Quiram, Kenny Schertz.
