Georgetown Chapter FFA The Georgetown Future Farmers of America completed a very successful year. The Chapter numbered 38 members this year with 13 greenhands, 12 sophomore Chapter farmers, and 13 junior and senior Chapter farmers. The First competition for the Chapter was the land use contest, which Georgetown won. Team members were Alan Prib-ble, Albert Jordan, Curt Simpson, Ed Noggle and Everett Rogers. The contest was held at Chrisman, Illinois, with all 13 section 18 Chapters participating. The Georgetown Chapter was also victorious in the sectional parliamentary procedure contest with Clay Newlin, Ed Noggle, Alan Daniel, Albert Jordan, and Alan Pribble comprising the Georgetown team. Ed Noggle was First chairman. Clay Newlin First secretary, and Alan Daniel First floor member. Thanksgiving found the Chapter contributing $30 towards a food donation for a needy family in our community. This was repeated at Christmas. December 9 was the section 18 grain judging contest held at Oakwood. Georgetown’s team of Alan Daniel, Russell Swaim, Ken Noggle, and Leroy Stephenson placed sixth. Ken Noggle was the section 18 tractor safety champion for the second consecutive year winning a beautiful silver trophy. February was a busy month for the Chapter. Three Georgetown FFA members won FFA foundation Plaques with Walt Newell capturing Farm Mechanics; Ken Noggle, Farm Safety; and Albert Jordan, Sheep Production Award. In addition, Georgetown members comprised three of the section’s ten State Farmer Degree winners with Ed Noggle, Alan Daniel, and Ken Noggle receiving the highest degree conferred by the state FFA association. Alan Daniel was the Chapter’s entry in the section 18 public speaking contest. Alan overcame obstacles ranging from misinformation as to date of the contest and length of speech manuscript and placed Fifth in the prepared speaking contest. Alan’s speech was concerned with the marketing of soybeans. April 18 found the Chapter’s dairy team consisting of Ever- ett Rogers, Steve Thompson, Jim Jordan, and Charles Rhoden placing sixth in the contest held at Tall Timbers Ayrshire farm at Bismarck. Charles Rhoden was seventh high individual in the dairy contest. April 20 was the date of the Chapter’s Larry Lujack dance, a Financial disaster. This dance, planned to complete the funds needed for the Chapter’s college scholarship ended in an $80 loss to the Chapter. Leroy Stephenson led the Chapter in raffle sales and the Chapter grossed $924 on its second raffle. May 11 was the Chapter’s family potluck banquet with 140 people attending. Ed Noggle won the Chapter college scholarship and scholarship pin. Bob Winland was voted the star greenhand and named the Chapter farm manager for 1968. Curt Simpson received the Chapter leadership pin and Everett Rogers the DeKalb Award. Mrs. Vera Simpson was named the honorary Chapter sweetheart while Maurice Simpson.

The Georgetown FFA livestock judging team won the sectional livestock judging contest on May 18. This marked the Fifth consecutive livestock judging victory for the Georgetown Chapter. Team members were Ed Noggle, Curt Simpson, Albert Jordan, and Dennis Collins. Individually, Ed Noggle, Curt Simpson, and Dennis Collins were third, fourth, and seventh in competition with the 40 sectional FFA members participating. The Georgetown Chapter is proud of its accomplishments during the past 12 months. We are, however, looking forward to an even more fruitful year in 1968 and 1969.
