F.F.A. The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of agricultural students. The local chapter, with Mr. Bateman as advisor, had many activities this year. The Garrett chapter earned money by selling fire extinguishers and garden seeds. The chapter also sponsored, as a service project, a contest for ridding crops and buildings of harmful pests. The losers of this contest held a basketball party for the winner. One member, with Mr. Bateman, attended the FFA convention. Representatives of the local chapter participated in many district contests including Public Speaking, Chapter, and Chapter-Meeting Contests. The FFA is a club dedicated to the forthcoming farmers of America and year after year has taken an important place in the life of almost every farm boy.
