The boys are taught about dairying and dairy iudging and are taught about the care and value of all livestock and meat processing. These boys also study soil, how to use power tools and learn how to manage money and parliamentary procedure. The Vocational Agriculture boys learn through field trips, class work, and proiects. They show their talents and how much they have learned by entering contests. At Aldine High School, boys are able to take three years of Vo- cational Agriculture. Mr. Donald Parker teaches the first year boys while Mr. Jack Wilson teaches the second and third year boys. Mr. Wilson shows his class a needle and demonstrates the way to use it.
