FFA I The sponsors of the FFA, Mr. Nick Paul and Mr. Billy Revels, plan an outing of the club. The Future Farmers of America was organ- ized to develop agricultural leadership, co- operation, and citizenship. The purposes of the FFA range from the development of competent, aggressive, rural, and agricultural leadership, to the encouragement of improved thrift, scholar- ship, and organized rural recreational activities. Team contests such as parliamentary pro- cedure and land judging, individual forestry, and chapter contests in chapter safety and co- operative activities play an important roll in the club life. For social enjoyment, the members engage in an FHA-FFA dance, a Father- Son Banquet, and FFA summer camp. FFA president, Keith Radford, presides over a meeting of the officers of the club. 30
