As the school year comes to a close, the Future Farmers can look back at their accomplished goals and feel secure in the knowledge that their work was not in vain. The freshmen found their tasks grueling and tiring but to the more Seasoned SODh0m0reS, Juniors and seniors, it was all in a day's work of preparing themselves for the future. In the last four months of 1953, the Future Farmers' Calendar was well-rounded with events. The club ex- hibited at the Tulare County Fair 111 September with each member contributing either food or livestock as entries. Their booth took fourth in its class. Johnny Sola and Joe Cadell were awarded a choice ribbon for their steers entered in the livestock exhibition. Abellt the middle Of October the freshmen green hands were initiated into the local chapter. On October 13, the Strathmore officers were invited to install the officers of the new Exeter chapter. Two days later, Johnny Sola, Joe Cadell, and Harold Spuhler were elected to the F, F, A. sectional executive committee. At the beginning of the new year, the Chapter participated in two events. First the Co-operative Quiz with Cody Noel and Johnny Sola as contestants, and secondly, the snow trip to Lodge Pole. The Cal Poly band and glee club provided the entertainment for the F. F. A. Assembly in March. That same night, the Chapter sponsored the annual livestock show. Immediately following the show many of the members loaded their steers and hogs on trucks and set out for the Cow Palace where our Chapter won many ribbons.
