At Haltom High School, Future Farmers of America have a new chapter this year. Headed by Mr. Robert Anderson (who also teaches at Richland the second half of the day), members go to school half the day and work at nurseries the remainder of the day. They learn the technical aspects of cattle, horses, crops, and other phases of agriculture. They have been on field trips to the State Fair, the Stock Show, the Van Rose Cattle Company, and to Texas A and M. Members have also competed in the District Competition for Leadership. And have you noticed the greenhouse lately? FFA and Mr. Hunter ' s biology class have it completely rejuvenated and even have plants growing in it. Digging for fishing worms? No, Tommy Owens is planting for Future Farmers of America. 1 1 6 Organizations

At the Chess Club Christmas Party at Mr. Don Stephen ' s pad, Steve Wolff, Lee Burns, Katrina Woods, and Doug Betts try their hands at a little yuletide checkmate. Seated: Tom Hatfield (President). Standing: Doug Betts (Vice-Presi- dent), Barbara Box (Secretary), Steve Wolff (Treasurer). We played our moves well in the Chess Club - we had to or we wouldn ' t have been able to de- feat Lake Worth, Bell, Trinity, and Richland in our tournmanets. We were not only successful in the game of chess but in the game of food as well. The spaghetti supper we sponsored with the band on No- vember 18 was really a hit. After Mr. Don Stephens poured his secret recipe spaghetti sauce on the guests ' plates, everyone ate to his fill and then retired to the audito- rium for a great band concert. What a night!

Clean air, water, and land for ourselves and future generations was the whole reason for CUPP. The club started when a group of students doing a project on pollution for Mr. Hunter ' s biology class discovered how dirty our environment really is. They got the idea of organizing a club and started with a clean-up cam- paign. Papers, cans, glass, and cardboard were redeemed. Part of the money was used to buy trees for our campus, with the rest of the money donated to the Humane Society, This donation was requested by North Oaks Junior High, which worked in conjunction with Haltom on this project. Displaying their desire to improve Haltom , Robert Ghent and Roy Do- zier prepare a tree for more effi- cient watering. With papers papers everywhere, Steve Young, Bill Tye, and David Schleeter tackle a heap of papers to be stacked and tied for the project. Organizations ii7
