90U A.iMm (AkiU FFA members were Cliff Stetson, Marty Golby, Mike Heise, Jeff Hoogerwerf, Mark Cunningham, Clint Block, David Kaiser, Dwayne Jackson, Ronnie Ouart, Larry Mueller, Arlene Claeys, Steve Adams, Tony Kares, David Duff, Walter Claeys, Julius Maes, Jeff Chadd, John Wall, Jim Heiser, Dave Mueller, Fred Kopp, Chuck Thumma, and Gregg Pickering. Because of no junior or senior level ag courses being taught at N.H.S. this year, the FFA activities were diminished somewhat. FFA was sponsored by Mr. Hoarsley the first semester and Mr. Kime the second semester, each teaching at Neponset the last two periods of the day. Among this year's social activities of FFA were the FFA Banquet, co-sponsoring Snowball with FHA, and helping with the Homecoming bonfire. Again this year, the organization farmed the reclaimed stripmine land between Neponset and Sheffield under the supervision of Mr. Kime. In class, the Sophomores could be found repairing the tractor, working on different implements and learning to survey. Freshman ag students spent much of their time learning the different breeds of hogs, cattle, and sheep as well as working some on welding and surveying. 24 Not only the students enjoyed the Snowball Dance which FFA helped co-sponsor, but the teachers also enjoyed the evening.
