Future Farmers Have Busy Year The farmers are the founders of civilization. -Webster. Twelve green hands were initiated into the Firelands Chapter of the Future Farmers of America which is under the guidance of Mr. Miller, instructor of vocational agri- culture. To make money the F. F. A. sponsored a scrap drive after Christmas and sold screw driver sets in the spring. During the year the boys parked cars for athletic events, banquets, and other activities which were held at Firelands. They also had a coat check service for the Dairyman's Ban- quet. The boys sponsored a trip to the Sportsman's Show in Cleveland, had a one day trip to Farmer's Week in Colum- bus, and went to Detroit to visit the Ford Tractor Plant and Greenfield Museum. Receives De Kalb Award The DeKalb award to the outstanding senior went to Dale McQueen during the Parents' Night program. Silver awards were presented to Jim Morgan and Lewis for their efforts in the District F. F. A. Public Speaking Contest. Receiving F. F. A. Foundation Awards were Don Lewis, star farmerg Dave Hiscox, farm mechanicsg John Born, dairy farmingg and J im Wood- rum, soil and water management. Instead of first, the boys ranked third in the parlia- mentary procedure contest, but honor came to the organiza- tion through several individual honors. Lewis Meyer won an expensive paid trip to the American Institute of Cooper- ation Convention to be held in Raleigh, N. C., July, which is sponsored by the Ohio Council and Lorain Co. Farm Co-ops. Jim Morgan and George Gvist won a one day field trip on their essays in the Conservation Essay Contest, and Larry Sebolt received a dairy calf award sponsored by the Wellington District Holstein Association.
