The 1954-55 Cobb Chapter of Future Farmers of America was made up of twenty-seven members. The officers for the year were Larry Novotny, Presidentg Roger Trankle, Vice President, Roger Kingery, Treasurer, Alan Flesch, Secretary, Eugene Yerke, Reporterg and Larry Lindauer, Sentinel. The Chapter started the year by attending the Fat Stock Show at Mad- ison. This trip was followed by a trip to the Southern Breeders Bull Farm, and a tour through the University of Wisconsin's Dairy Barns at Madison, the soil experiment station at LaCrosse, and Oscar Mayers Packing plant at Madison. Two teams of boys were selected to represent Cobb in the State Judg- ing Contest at Madison. The Dairy Cattle team was made up of Roger Tran- kle, Jim Kiley, and Ronnie Rule, and the Fat Stock team was composed of Russel Nelson, Larry Novotny, and Alan Flesch. We hope these boys do as well as our last year's team. The dairy Cattle team placed in the top twenty out of 175, and Roger Trankle placed eighth in the individual fat stock judg- ing. This would be in a field of approximately 300 boys. The Chapter sponsored a Variety Show on December 15. Prizes were awarded to the highest ticket sellers. Roger Kingery was given a FFA jacket, Larry Lindauer and Ronnie James were given name bracelets. The FFA had several means of raising money. They sold Christmas Cards, made and sold cement hog troughs, and held the Variety Show. The profits were used to buy something new for the Ag Shop and send two dele- gates to the State FFA Convention. Roger Trankle and Roger Kingery ap- plied for State Farmer Degrees. The highlight of the year was the annual banquet. This year it was combined with the all-school banquet and was enjoyed by all.
