INSPIRATION Dean Lehr, Section 22 Reporter, instructs Brian Mahan in the proper way to prepare news articles. Inspired leadership promoted cooperation among the Future Farmers of America, prompting them to attainl many achievements. Highlights of the year ’65-’66 were the annual fall j Sweetheart Dance and the Parent-Son Banquet in the spring. Members also toured the Case tractor plant in ■ Bettendorf, Iowa, the John Deere plant in Moline, Illi- ji nois, and the Allis-Chalmers Caterpillar plant at Spring-field, Illinois. The New Athens FFA Chapter is known for its sincere interest and active participation in the livestock judging contest, soil judging contest, and poultry and grain shows. The annual Section 22 Parliamentary Procedure Contest was held at New Athens this year. The alertness and outstanding competitive procedures won for the local chapter a first-place plaque. Each year the FFA initiates several money-making projects to finance its activities. These included: a barbecue, an annual seed sale, sponsorship of a movie at Town Theater, and the raffling of a market hog at the New Athens Homecoming.
