THE PASSING OF A CLASS This school has held within its walls The laughter and the anger of a class nurtured well O'er twelve long and grueling years; A class whose hopes and dreams Far exceed those of others past. Upon their faces are written the tears and smiles That reflect the well sojourned trail Of youth, happiness and maturity. Within their heads seeds of knowledge have been planted; Now has come the time to reap. Though in the future years Numerous others shall pass through these halls. Sit at these desks, and work on these subjects, Full of new hopes and dreams far surpassing ours, Still, within our hearts, this school shall be revered As the keeper of our tender days, And always within its walls shall roam The echoes of a class whose spirit and teamwork lived, caryn bracy 18

Lola Clements, Mark Siple, and Brenda Semrau are the FFA officers. Mr. Keith Greenwald was the advisor for the Maple Valley FFA and when asked if he thought the FFA has come very far, he replied: Since I've been here, it's improved quite a lot. There are 44 members in the FFA. They participate in contests such as leadership conference where there are several different categories, a couple are Public Speak- ing, Job Interview, and AG Forum. For money making projects the FFA sells garden seeds and plants 7 acres of com. This is also for the experience of farming. The FFA is also in a state project known as B.O.A.C. (Building our American Community). Through this pro- ject the FFA has improved the beauty of the community. Like planting shrubs and bushes in the local cemetery. Each year in March the FFA sends delegates to M.S.U. for the state convention. Then in the summer the newly elected officers go to what is called Leadership Camp. In the spring the FFA holds an annual banquet, which presents the awards achieved throughout the year. The member's parents are invited, and the community is welcome. The FFA does quite a bit for our school and commu- nity, that we don't know about. Maybe we should give them our support. 19
