FFA Teams Compete on National Level Above, William Leach delivers his speech on behalf of the FFA for Leadership Day. The Enosburg Falls Chapter of the Future Farmers of America and Mr. Daigle's Agricultural classes were involved in various contests throughout the year. Last year's Milk Judging team of John Ovitt, George Hayes, Anne Gervais, and Val Garrow, won first place in the state contest. This enabled the school to compete on a national level. The Eastern States Contest was held in Springfield, Mass. in October. Our competing teams didn't place very well. The Milk Juding team went to Kansas City, Missouri in November. The team ranked 20th in the nation, an improvement from 27th place acquired by a previous Ver- mont team. The FFA Fruit Sale, a major fund-raiser for the organi- zation, was held during November. The sale made about 5300. The seller of the most fruit, with about 25 boxes, was Bill Barnes. The next set of contests entered was the Barre Farm Show, in January. The three Enosburg teams that com- peted areg Milk Judging, Forestry and Conservation, and Farm Management. The Milk Judging team ranked fourth in the state, with Larry Gervais sixth highest individual. The Forestry and Conservation team tied for fifth in the state, with Louis Russell the fifth highest individual.
