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
