The chapter was honored by having three members, Loren Powell, Ronny Winterland and Ronnie Pulliam receive the State Farmer Degree. Special honor came to our group when it was judged one of the top chapters of the nation. Nine members attended the national convention at Kansas City to receive the National Gold Emblem award. During the past gear our chapter was ably advised by Mr. Kesler, who resigned, and by Mr. Busch who replaced im. FFA members held two scrap drives to help finance activities. Projects sponsored by the chapter were posting of welcome signs outside Lexington, planting of windbreaks, holding a local fair sponsored by FFA and the annual Grain and Home Economics show.
