Q An l-ndangered Species . f.?,5.F1' ' 0 i- I X3 At the top of the endangered species list was placed one of our school's clubs. The students were in an uproar. They provided petitions signed by parents, and also by past end present members. The stu- dents even went so far as to write to Assemblyman Gary Condit. This year the school district thought that Future Farmers of America was an unnecessary program. As a result of the students' prompt action, Assemblyman Gary Con- dit telephoned the school, stating that he was in favor of the F.F.A. program. The school finally succumed to the pressure from both stu- dents and Gary Condit by allowing lvlr. l-leintz, F.A.A's instructor, to add on an additional class to his teaching curriculum and to drop his preparatory period. The F. F. A. curriculum consists of many projects which involve differ- ent categories, mainly: sheep, dairy cows, beef, swine, rabbits, horti- culture, agriculture, mechanics, and welding. Each of these projects takes up many hours of practice and hard work. When any project is completed, it is taken to a competition during the summer. The students were able to compete in: Stanislaus County Fair, the State Fair, and at the Cow Palace in Oakland. Those students who place animals in competition always make sure the animals are constantly cared for. On an average, 'l B hours a week are spent with each animal. The club, with a membership of B5 strong, sponsored such fund- raisers as: The l-larvest Dinner, the F'ancake Breakfast, and the Par- ent lvlember Banquet. During the F'arent lvlember Banquet annual awards were presented for outstanding achievements and new offi- cers were installed. W 'l. Donna lvlutchler and .John get ready to spray: B.

Mark Galli was President. .John Mackenzie Vice President, Pichard De Signori Secretary, and .Jim Kulina Treasurer. The Graphic's Club was basically set on, Providing a strong founda- tion financially and through precedence for next year's club, as viewed by President Mark Galli. The club was set back with the loss of Mr. .John Wong, who left because of personal problems. Mr. Glen Streeter, a graphic art- ist, joined the teacheing staff and was able to remotivate the clubs activities and leadership. Due to the club's late start in the year. and the fact that almost all of the members were first year members. these advanced students put a new aspect in all the club's meetings. The club's meetings were approached in a more formal manner, somewhat Parliamentary Procedure, and defi- nitely more organized. Graphic's Club usually held meetings once a week, building up ideas for fund raisers and activities that would involve the club as a group and help to benefit othersfff? W 4., ,J 1 , 54' 6 if . .
