Future Farmers of America March 31 through April 2 were busy days for the Aldine Future Farmers of America Chapter. The annual Proiect Show climaxed a year of raising and caring for livestock of many varieties. Livestock judging took place March 31. Winners included: Howard Collier, Grand Champion Beef, Norman Roberts, Grand Champion Hog, David Stutes, Grand Champion Lamb, Carl Capers, Cham- pion Pen of Broilers, Jess Phillips, Champion Pen of Rabbits, Ronald Martin, Breeding Beef, Paul Depositario, Champion Breeding Rabbits, Mark Pinter, Breeding Swine, and Carl Capers, Dairy Stock. This year's events included a new event, West- ern Pleasure. This event gave F.F.A. members an opportunity to compete with their horsemanship skills. Norman Roberts took this new event. Following the traditional Barbecue, on April l, the F.F.A. Proiect Show Auction started with Char- lie Harris as auctioneer. The sale of member's livestock by auction is held to help offset the cost of raising some of the animals for the show. Each member with a fat animal entry-steer, bar- row, fryer, rabbit, lamb, or broiler-obtained a commitment from a sponsor for the first bid, thus the assurance of a buyer. Competition is not urged only in fields of their proiects. Trophies were given to the exhibitor who kept the cleanest stall or pen, to the best dairy entry, and to the student who showed his steer the best. The sportsmanship trophy was awarded to the boy who groomed and exhibited his animal the best. in G E N E Mr. Wilson and Linda Cummings watch as Harold Brewton helps Harold Brew- ton, of Houston Lighting and Power, iudge chickens at the annual Proiect Show.
