Students are first taught in the classroom the methods and skills of agriculture. Then they are given an opportunity to apply these methods at the agriculture plot behind Bayshore Junior High. The plot consists of ten acres of land with a modern greenhouse and an elabor- ate irrigation system. Grown on the plot this year are cabbage, tomatoes, Easter lilies, strawberries, squash, beans, peas, and caladiums. The main event of the year is the annual Sweet- heart Contest. Judging of the contestants is based on beauty, talent, and performance. Janet Diemer is the reigning sweetheart.

The Future Business Leaders of America was organiz- ed to create an interest and understanding of busi- ness occupations. lt accomplishes this by having guest speakers and by taking a trip to Tampa Business College at the end of the year. During football season members could be seen on the walk way to lunch selling pixie dolls and they sent out heart-o-grams on Valentine's Day. From the money they received, they gave S25 to the American Field Service and S25 to the March of Dimes. They also gave Christmas stockings and gifts to two families.
