Modern Agriculture Asset to Advisor Bill Stevenson, President Stan Stanley, and Vice-President Thomas Rushing confer with Mr. R. VV. Colvert about the FFA Week advertisement that appeared on Colvert milk cartons. The Madill Chapter of the Future Farmers of America was recognized this year as one of the more dynamic organi- zations at MHS. Under the guidance of the chapter’s advisor, Mr. Bill Stevenson, many educational activities were offered to the membership. Trips to Kansas City, Stillwater, Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Fort Worth highlighted the year’s events. The FFA members also participated in the annual FFA Rodeo, Fort Worth Fat Stock Show, and the Marshall County Fair. As can be seen on these pages, the organization’s philosophy suggests that students learn by doing. Whether the ac- tivity takes place in the welding shop, on the farm, or in the regular classroom, students work both physically and in- tellectually at the endeavor. Mr. Steven- son knows that only through this type ot discipline can the Space Age agriculture student meet the demands and responsi- bilities thrust upon him.
