Neus Ag Proposal Pianned Fight to nine years is the time prop- osed for completion of the Burns Agri- cultural Lab Proposal. The lab, headed by agricultural direc- tor, Don Elliot plans to use the wooded area on the east side of the school as a small orchard, a vineyard, blueberry patch, and a lot for growing Christmas trees. The total cost of the project is not yet known, but it is estimated to be in the thousands of dollars. Halloween 1980 was very special was very special for the children of North- side Childrens Center. Some FBLA members dressed up in costumes, vis- ited the center, and passed out candy. Senior Johnnette Dellinger commented, “It was a great experience! I have al- ways enjoyed being around kids and this topped it all.” “The children seemed to really enjoy the visit,’ said senior Richard Carson. He added, ‘‘The staff thanked us and welcomed us back in the future.” Johnnette and Richard agreed that it was a heartwarming experience that not many people get to participate in. They will both remember it for a long time. FFA FHA 93

The HOSA members worked hard to prepare for the smokeout. They made bulletin boards and posters to adver- tise. They also sponsored an essay con- test on smoking. On the day of the smokeout, the HOSA members wore T-shirts saying ‘‘Kiss Me, I Don’t Smoke.”’ With the help of Health Coor- dinator Jimmy Hines, the advertising was finished in time for the big day. The HOSA clubs of all the schools in the county conducted a survey to find out how many students smoke. The re- sults of the survey were as follows: Burns — 27% Crest — 16% Shelby — 18% § hows Kings Mtn — 13% This survey shows that Burns has the highest percentage of smokers in the county.
