Working for tomorrow Deckerville FFA has kept quite busy this year. The chapter held its annual awards banquet in May 1985. The chapter was asked by the Deckerville Business Men’s Association to manage Pete’s Park in the center of town. Chapter members planted several thou- sand plants, flowers, and yearling trees in the spring. During the summer of ’85, members took part in several activities. They carried out Supervised Occupational Ex- perience Programs to gain practical ex- perience in the field of agriculture. Chapter officers Brad Klaus, David Twiss, Kristine Abend, Chuck Dumaw, Jeff Harter, David Varosi, and Dan Gibbs attended a two-day leadership training program in Sarnia to receive training for their new offices. The Sanilac County Fair was an excit- ing activity for the Deckerville Chapter. Members exhibited 28 animals in the market show and sale. Fall began with plans for the annual tractor field day which was held the sec- ond week in October. Other activities sponsored during the winter were fruit, garden seed, and seedling tree sales. The first week of February was spent taking part in their leadership contest. At the 1985-86 State FFA Conven- tion, the chapter received a gold out- standing chapter award. Chuck Dumaw, Brad Klaus, and David Twiss received State FFA Degrees. In April the chapter members held the state agriculture skills contest and planted 5,000 seedling trees. WHAT I DIDN'T DO was sung by junior Ron Zdrojewski at the State FFA Convention held in Kansas City. JR. FFA 1st Row: Mike Ridley, Marcell Daghuer, Robert Varosi.

PLAYING IN HARMONY are sr. Anne Lawler and jr. Janet Clor. They’re both working hard to make our high school band successful. IT S COLD OUTSIDE! At least that's what sr. Matt Miller and soph. Tina Rudduck thought as they were waiting for halftime to come and their performance to begin. GETTING THE BEAT is our senior high band. They’re all working hard for another super halftime performance. 22
