THE CATLINEAN FUTURE FARMERS Catlin High School had one of its largest agriculture classes this year, the largest of the three divisions being the Freshmen. The Juniors and Seniors were put into one class and a new Agriculture shop added to the department. The junior and Senior boys built the shop, including benches and cabinets. The following is a list of achievements of the F.F.A. Chapter of Catlin High. The boys had eight entries in Oakwood Sectional Grain and Poultry show. They won a grand championship, five first prizes, two seconds, and a third prize. Among the numerous field trips were one to DeKalb Hybrid Corn Co., to the Sectional Grain and Poultry show at Oakwood, and another trip to the Indianapolis stock- yards. The boys raised thirty-two chicks and sold seventy-live dollars' worth of seeds, entered the volley ball tournament at Oakwood, publicized evening school, sponsored grain, fat stock, dairy, and poultry teams.
