In May was the State FFA Convention. It was conducted as a business meeting and for the electing of new officers. Also, it was used to present the awards to the members who were honored. In September, we had our annual Garland County Fair. Our FFA entered several contests and came out with several winners.

They were Lee Davis, Robert Wright, Todd Sturgill, Carolyn Eudy, Nancy Gray, Susan Easton, and Leslie Brown. These members listened to speakers, attended ban- quets, looked on at contests, saw slides and listened to tapes at workshops, and also looked on at the awards ceremonies. Preston Smith, a graduate of Lake Hamilton, ran for national office this year. Only one person from each state can run for this office.
