Some of the changes were building livestock pens on the school campus, installing a national computer hook-up and ex- panding the metals and welding classes to include other mechanics like engines and motors. Many people think Vo-Ag and the Future Farmers of America are ex- actly the same, but that's not so. Vo- Ag is the academic class where stu- dents learn about crops, livestock and shopworkg FF A is the extra cur- ricular organization that meets after school. FFA members put their Vo- Ag class studies to use in raising their animals for competition and in participating in FFA judging con- tests. In Vo-Ag studies spanned every- thing from parliamentary procedure to building barns and corrals by the school. All Vo-Ag students were re- quired to have a home agricultural project. Most of them used livestock. They also kept careful income and expense records on their animals. The school barns and corrals were built to house animal projects and for a living laboratory. Hamner said, Town students will have a place to keep their animals, and I will have some livestock at school to I 1 i use in classworkf, He added with the farm laboratory, students would get hands-on experience at school in- stead of the class always travelling to a ranch. s s The Ag program was among eight to receive the Agri Data Computer System from the University of Wyo- ming which provided the phone hook-up, the computer and software. The Vo-Ag program gained access to a nationwide farm network. Hamner said, This set up is very helpful for the students and area ranchers because they can getithe commodities prices and futures mar- ketg I can also use the computer teaching aids. Students enjoyed the expanded mechanics classes. Pat Doty said, I have learned how to fix brakes and how ignition and cooling systems workg now I can figure out why my car won't start. Vo Ag wasfunancl I learned about things that I will be able to use later. More should take the classg I'm taking it again next yearj' said Gerri Yates. In past years the Vo-Ag program was on shaky ground because of low enrollment and lack of interest, but with the changes Hamner said, Our Vo-Ag program is growing and do- ing wellg our goal is to make it one of the best in the state? Sometimes car problems were perplexing in mechanics class. Pat Doty, Instructor Rex Hamner and John Lewis analyzed the prob- lem before beginning to work on the engine. l 1 Fl 92 Mechanics
