Rodeo Allen Gill and Louie Elwood finish big in rodeo. Allen Gill and Louie Elwood stood a good chance of making the finals at Quincy, California. In January, Allen Gill had finished 2nd in team roping and 1st in calf roping. Oth- er good prospects were Jerry Hill, Richard Blackford, and Dale Ellis. Jerry finished 5th, in bareback competing against 28 riders and 11th. in bull riding out of 40 rid- ers. Richard and Dale didn't make it into the standings but did very well for their very first year. District 431, comprised of 9 coun- ties, is the largest district in Cali- fornia. There are 9 rodeos: 3 in Redbluff, 1 each in Redding, Cot- tonwood, McArthur, and Monta- gue. After the 5th, rodeo, which was the Redding rodeo this year, the top three winners in each event went to the Grand National Junior Livestock Show at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. After that the district hosts 4 more rodeos. When the 9th. rodeo was over, the 5 top point winners went to Quin- cy, the state final in California from which the top riders go to the nationals in June. To participate in a rodeo, you must pay 20 dollars to enter of which 10 dollars go to the pot, and 10 dollars to cover costs. The win- ners split the pot. Advisor, Vice Principal McMullen helped with fundraising ideas. The club tried to sponsor a dance but lost in compe- tition with other clubs, and prob- lems over insurance coverage. During homecoming, the Rodeo club wanted to put a mechanical bull in the gym. They also asked to host donkey basketball, both were refused because of possible injur- ies. 1.

F.F.A. Farmers: Tribute to the world Future Farmers of America worked hard to learn about the oldest job in man's history. At the district farm, students learned maintenance and safe operation of heavy equipment, supervised by Mr. Hamilton. The stu- dents also learned how to operate watertrucks, dump trucks, forklifts, graders cats and backhoes. In class if2, care of livestock and the basic operation of farm equipment were studied. This class was supervised by Paddy Shaunsby. Landscaping, was supervised by Keith Meng. The three classes were hard to get into, be- cause so many people signed up for them.
