If you have ever wondered why Blanchard turns out such good farmers, it is because of Blanchard's chapter of FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA. The boys learn all aspects of farming from soil conservation to cattle judging. The boys participate in the local Blanchard Show, the County Livestock Show, the Oklahoma City Show, and the Tulsa Livestock Show each fall and spring. Each year is highlighted by the Parent-Son Banquet held to honor the members that have shown improvement and outstanding achievement. F.F.A. OFFICERS: J. Sill-President; M. Starr-Reporter; R.

 LIONS Win Homecoming, 9-6 HOMECOMING ACTIVITIES began with a parade this year sponsored by the LION PEP CLUB. Enthusiasm filled the air as the Blanchard LIONS rallied together to defeat the Newcastle Racers with a 9-6 win. Despite the rain and horrid weather the half time activities were not halted. During the half time Freeda Foster, the junior class candidate, was crowned as the 1974 Football Queen. A Victory Dance was held following the game to honor the team for their successful win. 22
