Hard work shown Proven to be most successful and rewarding Out of all the vocational classes offered Agriculture has proved to be one of the most successful and re- warding. Raising animals to be good enough to par- ticipate in a show is harder work than it seems, said Senior Jana Wilson. Students started their freshman year with basic plant and animal science. Once they had mastered all the details and leadership skills, Junior and Senior projects included Agricul- tural mechanics, welding and in depth technical training. Each student has the option of entering an animal for competition in local stock shows. This is both profitable and re- warding. Money is put forth for food and neces- sities for the animal. In re- turn the student has an op- portunity to receive such awards as Grand Cham- pion, Reserve Grand Champion, and various Honorable Mention awards. Under the direction of Mr. Chumbley and Mr. Vasbinder students learned many skills that will help them while seeking careers in fields such as veterinary medicine and mechanical engineering. Also available to students were Horticul- ture classes. Students par- ticipating in these classes held various plant sells throughout the year to raise needed funds.
