F.F.A. creates profit through sausage sale and other projects The Future Farmers of America officers were installed at the FFA Banquet in April of 1982. Daron Ruckman was elected President; Martin Ahrens, Vice-President; Andy Ernsting, Secretary; Keith Sauber, Treasurer; Jay Ingalls, Reporter; and Doug Carpenter, Sentinel. The officers, under the direction of Howard Wallace, planned the year’s activities. At each monthly meeting, different speakers were asked to present a program to the future farm- ers. Wallace and the officers also planned the money-making projects for the year. To raise money, the club sponsored a bake sale and a sausage sale. The club also sponsored the FFA auction. The Auction was the outlet for the projects created and produced by the FFA members. It was not intended as a money-making project but any profit made would be used by the club for future activities. IT GOES RIGHT HERE. Vice president Martin Ahrens and sponsor Howard Wallace work together for FFA. The two, along with the other officers, planned the monthly meetings and activities.

National convention benefits Latin Club Seniors Michele Haddon, Debbie Spring, Deanna and Diana Wilson, sponsor Vickie Schroeder and her husband, Terry, attended the National Junior Classical League con- vention in Norman, OK., Aug. 2-7. There they participated in academic tests, athletic competitions, and other activities. They came back from Norman with ideas on how to make their local chapter better. One idea that the club pursued was the completion of the local scrapbook. The scrapbook was declared officially “finished” on the way to state convention in Salina on April 19. There members took academic tests, participated in College Bowl, entered art projects and played volleyball. The club received third in upper-division College Bowl and third in volleyball. Spring served as the Kansas JCL Treasurer during the 1982-83 school year. To raise money, the club helped run the concession stand, served the FFA banquet with the German Club and sold planning calendars. Club officers were Spring, president; Diana Wilson, vice president; Deanna Wil- son, treasurer; Haddon, secretary; and Lori Starnes, historian. 26 THE FINAL MEETING.
