Three Sections of Vo Ag This Year Vocational Agriculture under the direc- tion of lVlr. Bruce Thayer included two classes for freshmen and sophomores and one class for juniors and seniors, totaling 37 students. A major unit in classes I 84 ll was the study of livestock and crop production with the judging of animals on area farms as laboratory work. A study of major crop management, fertilizers, seed variety and herbicides was also part of the work. Finally there was a unit in mechanics with- emphasis on welding. Agriculture lll and IV were concerned with farm management. This involved an understanding of crops and rotation, efficiency in space planning for livestock as well as for crops, remodeling of barns, and general farm maintenance. Laboratory work in this class consisted of the students' projects, some of which were raising and marketing livestock or crops and constructing or remodeling buildings for better utilization in farming.
