Future Farmers Raising Show Animals Brings Many Awards There are many students at Cajon who have hobbies in which they actively participate and enjoy. And then there are those students who have hobbies that bring them recognition and awards. Two such students are seniors Sarah Burton and Tom Gott. Sarah and Toni are both extremely interested in animals and the raising and showing of them. Both girls are ac tive members of the Cajon chapter of FFA of which Toni is president and Sarah, formerly holding the office of secretary and president, now holds the office of sectional president for entire San Bernardino County. Toni has been showing steers and swine for the past four years at fairs throughout Southern California. She is most proud of her steer that won the first place market class showing at last year ' s Orange Show. But her favorite event is showmanship where she is judged as well as the animal. In the showmanship class, says Toni, The competition is tough, but I surprise myself by usually placing. Sarah has been raising animals since she became involved in 4-H in the eighth grade. Sarah raises steers, lambs, swine, and goats, which are her favorite. Sarah has the honor of saying she has placed in every competition she has ever entered. But the two awards she treasures the most are the awards for her seventh place livestock judging at the L.A. County Fair and her Reserved Grand Champion Market Hog at the 1979 Orange Show. Both Sarah and Toni receive much encouragement and support from their families in their hobby, and each intend to follow a study of animal husbandry in college. p4-?S 14 ffa

Rodeo Jenny Proch Wins In Racing Or Roping Junior Jenny Proch somehow finds time from her hectic schedule of studies, cheerleading, and other activities to compete in at least two rodeos a month. Having competed in rodeos since she was eight years old, Jenny is presently a member of the Junior Rodeo Association as well as the vice- president of the Cajon chapter of FFA. Jenny, riding in the senior division for ages 14 to 18, competes in many events including ribbon roping, goat-tying, and the barrel race which is her favorite. She has won numerous awards for her ability in each event but she primarily places best in the goat-tying competition. Jenny is the most proud of her second place senior goat-tying title at the Norco Rodeo last summer and of her fourth place win in the same event at the yearly finals held last October. Jenny, who skated competitively for four years, says she prefers rodeo to any other sport because it is a rather unusual sport where the competition is tough and I can be proud of my accomplishments. She also feels that to be a good rodeo rider, one must have a lot of patience and dedication to master the teamwork needed between the rider and the horse. Jenny goes on to say that she would like to turn professional next year and then continue in rodeo for many more years not only because she enjoys it as a sport, but also because it allows her the opportunity to meet alot of different people from which one can really learn alot about life. rodeo 13
