Chapter Farmers were Jimmy Carroll, Harry Lankford, George Lucy, James McMichacI, Alfred Mesa. Claude May. Jimmy Cruickshank, Arthur Meyer, and Jimmy Morris, Ted Barr)- and Richard Strom were can- didates for the State Farmer Degree. One of the big school activities of the Chapter for the year was the war bond and stamp contest between thc F. F. A. Chapter and Hoti’s Harem: in this the F. F. A. sold over $38,000 in war l onds and stamps. Incidentally, Hoti’s Harem sold about $3,000 more than that thus winning the contest. The Chapter has purchased a $100 war bond. Mr. Ireland, instructor, and ten members at- tended the Denver Livestock Show. Representing the Snowy Range Chapter at the State F. F. A. convention held at Casper. March 30 to April 1, were Alfred Mesa and Richard Strom as delegates, Jimmy Carroll as public speaker, Don Xottage and Claude May as guests, and of course Mr. Ireland as advisor. Jimmy placed fourth in the State F. F. A. Public Shaking Contest and Richard was awarded the State Farmer Degree, and was elected delegate-at-large for the state. The Lions Club furnished an F. F. A. jacket for each delegate to the convention.
