JOHN YOUNG ATTENDS F. F. A. CONVENTION John Young was chosen as one of the mem- bers of the 100 piece F. F. A. National Band which played at the National Convention held at Kansas City from November 14 to 18. Only two boys from each state were chosen, so the local chapter and all of us at school felt highly honored that John was selected. They prac- ticed almost eight hours a day, he said, for four days, and then played for all the sessions of the convention, where 15,000 boys were in attend- ance, from all forty-eight states and many out- lying possessions. Part of the affair was broad- cast and some of us tuned in.
