} } | | i FFA, The Cordell F. F. A. chapter was organized for the school year of 1946-47 with the following offi- cers in charge: Howard Bose, President; Harvey Schmidt, Vice-President; Don Brown, Secretary; Gerald Vanimon, Treasurer, and Eddie KrewaH, Reporter. The week before school started twenty-one members of the chapter led by Howard Bose, the newly elected president, made a tour through, Colorado and spent some time at Creed. . This trip was the long- est one ever taken by members of the Cordell Chapter. Soon after school started came the County Junior Livestock Fair. At this fair Don Brown had the Grand Champion calf which was a Black Angus. Then followed the State Fair at Oklahoma City. Our department exhibited a F. F. A. booth which was put up by Mr. Wyatt with the accompaniment of Her- shell Stafford, Ssmmy Goss, Everett Medlin, and Leonard Samples. This booth won a prize of $50.00. In the livestock show department of the State Fair, Don Brown placed first with his Angus Steer for a total of $25.00 premium money. Don also won sixth place with his Hereford steer and second and third places with Hereford heifers. Following the State Fair at Oklahoma City, Don Brown exhibited an Angus steer at the American Royal Livestock Exposition at Kansas City, Missouri. His calf placed third at this show. Mr. Wyatt drove his car on this trip and Howard Bose, Gerald Vanimon, and Harvey Schmidt accompanied him. Don Brown and Harvey Schmidt were delegates from our chapter to the F. F. A. Convention which was held at Kansas City at the same time. At the Washita County Livestock show which was held in Cordell March 11, Don Brown exhib- ited first place, Champion, Grand Champion Steer. He also exhibited first and second place Hereford heifers, first and second place Lambs and Grand Champion and Reserve Lambs. Harvey Schmidt exhib- ited first and second place Steer and Champion Steer. He also had second place Short Horn. Donald Gray exhibited third place Senior Short Horn and Bobby Miller exhibited fourth place Angus. The fol- lowing boys exhibited Barrows at the show: Everett Medlin, Sammy Goss, Jimmy Goss, Harvey Schmidt, Frank Lowber, Talmage Cain, Donald Cain, and Floyd Creamer. , Donald Stewart, Gene Gammon, and Eddie Krewall also exhibited steers at this show. Don Brown won a total of $74.00 at this show and Harvey Schmidt won a total of $45.00. The Chapter honored Anna Mae Wyatt by electing her queen for the school year. She is the daughter of the Vocational teacher, Mr. Wyatt, and is the first girl in Oklahoma whose father is Voca- tional Agriculture teacher, ever to have this honor. At the time of this writing, an F. F. A. banquet is being planned in connection with the Kiwanis and Rotarians for April 17 in the Dining Hall of the Methodist Church. Harvey Schmidt and Leon Wiest have applied for Junior Master Farmer Degrees and at this time the results are not known; however, it is expected they will win this high honor. Other social events are planned for the chapter as the school year draws to a close. Other winners in the Spring Livestock Show in Oklahoma City are not known at this time. However, Harvey Schmidt and Don Brown are making entries and it is expected they will take their share of honors.
