Vo-ag student Jim Allen often got out of the classroom to get involved in related activities like Rodeo. The sparks were flying as the sophomore Vo-ag II students learned to weld for the first time. A change of pace, a new attitude for those who have never welded and a chance for the veteran welders to strut their stuff. Sophomore Shone Nelson said, I already know how to weld and I think its neat to think of as a career. It started when incoming fresh- men decided to take Vocational Agriculture. Many who signed up either had experience on farms or ranches. Some want to be in- volved in agriculture when they get older. Judging animals and managing money on the farm was exper- ienced by the first year ag stu- dents. Freshman Alan Holt said, I like Vo-ag because we get to go on trips. Most of the freshmen and sophomores go on trips to- gether to places like Sheridan for a judging invitational and Idaho Falls for a lecture on sheep pro- duction. Going to FFA State Con- vention in Great Falls and Nation- al Convention in Kansas City are a few off the high points for those who have money. Junior Jeff Maki said, The trip to Kansas City was a memorable one. As the students get older the classes get better for the junior and senior ag students. Vo-ag III begins with small engines. They also cover aspects of building, such as foundations and roofing. Senior students go back to the farm for their last year. More farm management is their main objec- tive. Building personal items is also a perogative of the four year students. Reporter: Nick Miller. Lay- out: Reed Pebbles. Photos: Ja- son Rorabaugh, Melissa McCollum, Greg Maki. Vo-Ag
