Safety Program Receives Much Recognition. While celebrating its 40th anniversary, the 1980 Monroe FFA Chapter's year was filled with awards and individual achievements. Among top awards were the National Gold Emblem Award, which recognizes a chapter for its program of work at a national level; the Governor’s Citation, recognizing the top chapter in the state; a Gold Emblem in the National Safety Award Program; and a Silver Emblem in the National Building Our American Communities (BOAC) Award; an award earned by chapters which conduct programs to make better communities. These awards were achieved at the 1980 National FFA Convention which was attended by the FFA senior class. Other awards and individual or team placements included the State Proficiency Award given to seven members, the chapter’s meat judging team won the 1980 State meats contest, the chapter’s land judging team placed second in the State contest, the 1980 Chapter Parliamentary procedure team placed second and received a gold rating at the district contest, and the “Safe Corn Harvest Campaign, the major project in the chapter’s safety program received much national recognition. The annual Spring Banquet, held in April, also honored members’ achievements. FFA Chapter President Jim Rufer, was chosen as the 1981 Star Farmer of the local chapter, Randy Eberle received the Creed Trophy, and Larry Fryer was chosen Star Greenhand. New officers were also installed at the banquet. Throughout the year, members sold nuts and bolts, pork, and citrus fruit to finance the program. The proceeds enable the Monroe FFA Chapter to operate an extensive program which is nationally recognized. 16

Service is Their Name and Game While continuing to be a service organization, the Future Homemakers of America Chapter placed major emphasis on two community service projects. The club’s Toy Safety Project received much recognition this year. Members were kept busy making special toy safety displays, holding workshops, hosting a radio program, and sponsoring a babysitters clinic. For the second consecutive year the group’s Toy Safety Project received first place at the State Conference in Lacrosse. Another of FHA’s major services was their participation in the March of Dimes heart cookie sale and participation in the MOD Walkathon. At the annual Spring Recognition Banquet graduating seniors were honored, gifts and certificates were awarded, and new officers were installed. A plaque was presented to the club from the March of Dimes for FHA's work in the MOD organization. Advisor Carol DeMik was recognized for being named as the State Advisor of the Year at the State Conference, and praise and appreciation were given to both advisors, DeMik and Alice Kranig. from all members of the FHA Chapter. 1 FHA Chapter, FIRST ROW: Pres T.
