VO-AG, DR FTING EXPERIENCES Vocational agriculture has helped me decide to go into agri-business as a career and then I plan to go to law school and become a lawyer to represent the farmers, stated leff Whisler, senior, Vocational Agriculture was verv important to many people at Washburn Rural, as it provided a way for students to learn what the agriculture industry is about, The class covered three main areas of study, including animal science, obtaining agriculture mechanics skills, and de- veloping leadership qualities through Future Farmers of America activities. Some of the vo-ag activities included a contest at the Sunflower State Fxpo Fair, in which several people received awards for their accomplishments. The highlight of the event for Rural was winning the Grand Champ- ion Chapter Crop Exhibit prize. This year's drafting students learned everything from basic fundamentals to the study of special architectural and en- gineering problems. The courses were designed to give class members a basic understanding of drafting tech- niques and other areas of drawing and designing. syn, Q f Qvmtvffg' E f 1 A I .. 20 CHIM ES '81
