Students helped organize many new and extraor- dinary projects. Club members attended the Pum- pkin Card Contest in October. This was an unusual, but very instruc- tional event, stated Lana Smith. Most exciting of all were the singing telegrams in November. Humor and laughter were all around when someone found out they were going to be serenaded. Members were very successful at the National Scholastic Art Awards in January. They also participated in the Youth Art Month exhibit in March. Carlos Ruiz and Lana Smith were outstanding through the year. These two and the rest of the members displayed exceptional talent through the year, said Mr. Conley. The Art Honor Society existed to let the rest of the school see our talent, explained Mr. Conley. Try- ing to get more of our art into display was what we were striving for.

In February they judged the dairy contest at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo at the Astrodome. Money earned went toward a fish fry at Lake Conroe and entry fees in the Aldine Livestock Show in March. Wayne Rodriquez and Jeff Parker showed their hogs. FFA isn't all fun. Keith Bates works diligently on an agricultural map of the United States. Learning about agriculture includes cattle, hogs, and poultry. Scott Martin sits dreaming of his future on the ranch. The success of their year was due, in large part, to the help of new sponsor Mr. Michael Johnson, and officers Jeff Parker, president, Tam- my Smith, vice presidentg Eric Robert, secretary: Kimberly Gibbon, treasurer, and Brian Coleman, senator. Their success will continue into the future because many of the members plan to pursue agriculturally related careers.
