In its 14th year as a course at EHS, the curriculum also involved several trips to local farms to do veterinary work and to judge cattle. Under the instructor- ship of Powell Heide, the 39 members enrolled in agriculture studied farm procedures and then learned the proper application of them. Stu- dents also journeyed to other areas in Kansas to attend schools for judging cattle, poultry, swine, and sheep and farm mechanics. Vo- Ag boys were expected to wori on a personal project throughout the year. (TOP LEFT) Jerry Reames puts knowledge of the metal lathe to work while helping Bill Ahlgrim build a tractor.
