F. F. A. Learns Farmin Fundamentals The main objective of the F.F.A. is to teach boys the fundamentals of farming. This group, consisting of 68 members, combines classwork with clubwork. The boys learned not only the essential steps in producing crops and caring for livestock, but also they studied many of the latest scientific methods. Rotation of crops and which kinds of products build up the soil and which ones take away from it were all a part of the training which the farmers of tomorrow undertook. One of the major projects of the group was to send four boys to the annual National F.F.A. Convention in Kansas City. Other activities have included a dance, seed sale, pest hunt, and a donkey basketball game. Officers of the club are as follows: president, Wally Cox, vice-president, Roger Sanford, secre- tary, Richard Mathews, treasurer, Gorden Por- ter, sentenial Fred Shiery, and advisor, Mr. Clay- -- ton Wells, Wayne Weaver, Neil Furney Back row, left to right - N.

This year there were a total of 39 students enrolled on the program, thirty-three of which were seniors. These students worked for 27 differents employers. Sixteen of these students were retail trainers, 18 were otifice trainers and five were trade and industrial trainers. Each person on the plan spent one-halt of the school day in classroom work. The other half day was used to do the actual on-the-job work for which each one was apprenticed or quali- fied. Many of the boys and girls took related subiects such as retailing or merchandising. The program was under the direction of Mr. John Bachman, who has been the coordinator for the past two years. The year was climaxed by a banquet with all employers and employees dining together.
