THE FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Future Farmers of America is an organization of farm boys studying vocational agriculture in high schools throughout the United States. The purposes of this organization are to develop leadership, to teach the value of cooperation, and to create a love for country life. We boys of the 1944 class entered the F. F. A. as green hands. After one year of training in agriculture, we were raised to the degree of Future Farmers. In this organization, we have taken part in providing a booth at the local fairs, in writing essays, and in entering degree team contests, track meets, and other sports. Our organization has sponsored eighteen chapel programs each year in which the problems and business of the F. F. A. have been discussed and disposed of. Each year in high school, the F. F. A. has held a Father and Son Banquet prepared by the Home Economics Club, which our mem- bers, their fathers, and other important guests have attended. We, as young farmers, have been very fortunate in having this agri- cultural high school to fit us in our work for future farmers. We have had throughout the four years, not only classroom training in the science of farming, but also projects at home. Perhaps the greatest experience of the four years has been the enjoyment of our social organization, ' Axton Chapter of Future Farmers of America. As we review our F. F. A. experiences, we thank Mr. H. L. Saville, our advisor, for his work with us. We know we shall make more success- ful farmers and citizens because of our F. F. A. activities. May our motto continue to be “Learning to do Doing to learn Earning to live Living to serve.” -OSBORNE GRANT.
