The Nokomis Chapter F. F. A. is a member of Illinois Section Ten which consists of eighteen Central Illinois Schools. This Chapter was organized the first Monday in October and meetings have been held the first Monday in each month since that time. Our local chapter of Future Farmers is one of a Nation-wide organization, the purpose of which is to promote vocational education, fellowship, and organization among the farm boys of today who are the farmers of tomorrow. Fourteen of our boys made entries at Athens in the poultry and grain show, the results of which were both educational and economical. The boys are all looking forward to the big shows next year. Six boys judged poultry and grain at Springfield, February 13 and we are looking forward to the fat stock and dairy contests which will also be held at Springfield, May 2. Following that, the two boys having the highest scores on each team will be entered in the state contest at Champaign in June. Twentv- ix
