-,-.Y UNIVERSITY OF MAINE TRIP Last June our F,F,A, judging team was outstanding by winning the Grand Champion- ship at the University of Maine. The boys that represented our chapter and the contests they were in are as follows: Roland Foster--rope work, crop and weed identificadon, and potato diseases, Vaughn Bridges--rafter cutting. Ervin Smith--poultry judging, crop and weed identification, and potato diseases. Vernon Delong--cattle judging. Gary Allen--cattle judging. At 7:30, the morning of June 29, five A.C.l, Future Farmers who were picked from our chapter by holding chapter contests left to represent us at the U. of M. for the State F, F,A, convention. We arrived there about 10:30, registered and went to our rooms. By that time dinner was ready in the cafeteria. After dinner the first state meeting was held. It seemed good to see two of our graduates seated in the officers chairs. Gary Bell State Reporter and Gary McCrurn, State Treasurer. After the first meeting the contests started and continued for the next day and a half. The F, F,A. Speaking Contest was held the evening of the first day. After the speaking contest all of the Future Farmers were given all the ice cream they could eat. After all the ice cream was stowed away, Mr. Whitaker took us to Bangor for a while, then we went back to the U. of M. and went to bed as the next day was to be a hard one. After the contests were all over we all gathered at the cafeteria for the annual F,F,A, banquet and were welcomed by President Hauck and Dean Deering after which Governor Muskie addressed us. After the eating and speaking was over, the awards were presented. Our chapter won S100 for farm safety, Vernon Delong and Gary Allen took top honors and brought home the cup in cattle judging, When Dean Libby arouse to present the grand championship. To our surprise and pleasure, we were awarded a large plaque. After the applause and con- gratulations were over we were just about to leave when a representative from the Wirthmore Feeds Company came up to us, congratulated us and announced that we had just won a trip to Boston to see a big league ball game, It was a happy bunch of boys that arrived home about 11:30 that night. It's a grand feeling to be on top when you have done something worth while and through your own efforts and the efforts of the teams. DEEP SEA FISHING TRIP Friday night after the Senior Play at 12:00 P,M. , 33 Future Farmers, Mr. Whitaker, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Curtis left Mars Hill for a Deep Sea Fishing Trip in our F.F.A, bus. Our destination was Ionesport where we had three boats chartered to take us out in the ocean to fish. The boats were owned by Ieriah Beals whose boys were such good basketball players from there. We arrived at Jonesport at 6:00 in the morning and woke up the restaurant proprietor who soon had a good breakfast for us. We saw porpoises leaping out of the water and Donnie Marcoux said he saw a whale. Gary Allen seemed to be the productive fisherman catching two fish at one time. Richard Caldwell caught the largest fish. We were successful in keeping our seasickness at the minimum with the aid of plenty of seasick pills for all. Ervin Smith was chief photographer and got some interesting pictures of boys sleeping, fishing, etc, We arrived home at 6 P,M, Every one was tired out but agreed that they had a good time and wanted to go again.
