Wide World of Agriculture Getting involved, leadership activities, community development, self-improve- ment, and progress towards establishment in the agricultural community was what the Agriculture Department was all about. The Vocational Agriculture Depart- ment concerned itself with four areas of instruction. These were: high school day classes, the FFA, and organizations made up of vocational agriculture students who were interested in self improvement on their own. These included the Young Farmers Organization, a group of young farm couples that are part of a state group; and the Adult Farmer Organiza- tion, a group of farmers that hold evening classes for self improvement.

We ' re Proud To Be Farmers 99 The Franklin Chapter of Future Farm- ers of America received a third place award in a local livestock judging contest. Before school opened, the FFA officers attended the State Leadership Camp and the State Convention where they received their Hoosier Farm Degrees. As school began, the club initiated the incoming freshmen at their annual pig roast. The club took trips to the Farm Progress Show in Galesburg, Illinois, and to the Farm Machinery Show in Louis- ville, Kentucky. This year the chapter started a new activity for National FFA Week by serv- ing the faculty a sausage and egg break- fast. At the end of the year the club gath- ered to honor those who deserved recogni- tion at their annual Parent and Son Ban- quet.
