Clubs FHA the smallest clubs in school so nearly every member was an officer. First year Advisor Charlene Peppinger guided the group through new activities including joint efforts with Mountain View's FHA. FHA has taught the students how to associate with other people, use skills like cooking and sewing that they will need in the future, communicate with others and use leadership training, Peppinger said. To continue with the building of communication skills, the FHA worked more with Mt. View's chapter than in the past. Their mutual activities were filling Christmas baskets for the Valley senior citizens and sponsoring two children for Special Olympics. This will help stop the rivalries between the two Both schools have so much to schools, Peppinger noted. give each other that it doesn't make sense to be two different schools. Also we both have commmon intersts so we have been doing things together. Mt. View Advisor Jane Mayfield had been a former advisor at Lyman. Over the years Mayfield's Mt. View group produced several state officers and proved to be one of the largest and most active FHA chapters in southwest Wyoming. By working with Mt. View, Lyman was able to pick up some helpful hints. Other FHA activities were the getting to-know-youl' taco party where members elected officers and Junior Kim Lester's demonstration making monkey bread with all the club members helping. One of the popular activi- ties was making popcom balls, brownies and collecting cans for the senior citizens. My favorite activity was taking goodies to the senior citizens, Sophomore Sharla Williams noted. FHA also made craft projects like pierced earring holders and friendship bracelets. They had three main fundraisers: a cake walk for the Drill Team Halloween Camival, Valentine cookies with messages, and a quilt which they auctioned. It takes some time and some planning to get lessons ready for the students, Peppinger said. lt is worth the planning though. The students are so much fun to work with. My favorite part of being in FHA, Sophomore Cherlyn McDonald said, is just to meet together and do activities with everybody else. Kaelynn Smith

BOAC CBuilding Our American Communitiesj was the major goal instituted this year in FFA. Its main objectives were to tie the town to the FFA chapter, provide community pride through service projects and make the members better citizens, said Vo-ag Instruc- tor Rex Hamner. The BOAC project this year was constructing the Park and Ride shelter by the Baptist Church with plans of adding landscaping in the summer. It earned the chpater a state award. Other major events were safety programs, state judging, state convention and farm day. Judging was enjoyable because it was out in the field, on-hand experience and I learned not only the parts of animals but how to select replacement stock in a herd, said Sophomore Pete Collins. Farm Day involved touring farm animals to the grade schools. Senior Tom Tippets noted, Lyman Elementary and Urie Elementary loved farm day. It was so fun to watch the children as they touched the T animals and listened as they made sounds. The chapter was recog- nized for its excellence at the state convention. President Angie Sawyer said, It was great to win awards at Chey- enne. We won the Bronze Safety Award, Superior Chapter Award and the BOAC Area Award. Another highlight was the trip to Brownie Lake with Uuniorsj Rod Hewitt and Jamie Schmidt and CSophomoreJ Heidi Schell to discuss plans for the year. Sawyer placed second in extemporaneous speaking in Pinedale and went to districts in Riverton. Some of the projects students managed included breeding sheep, market hogs, breeding beef, horses and rabbits. Other projects they constructed included headracks, feeders, barbeques, horse trailers and a horse wash rack. Students also overhauled vehicles in the mechanics class. The school corral gained- power and water. Hamner said, Vo-ag is unique because there is a wide variety of activities available. There are animal projects, shop projects, judg- ings, public speaking and leadership opportunities. Vo-ag and FFA are educational, productive and growing. There are 34 members now and I forsee a time when it is the strongest and most active organization in the school. That is our goal, he added. J ay Buckle 5 Y Y
