FFA ski Trip After being rescheduled due to bad weather conditions, the annual FFA ski trip was held Febru- ary 9-IO at Sundown in Dubuque. Nine members went with Ag Advisor Tom Weston. Weston at- tempted the expert hill, failed, and lost a ski pole which tackled Jeff Padgett. After that, the FFA group earned the nickname of The No Skill Ski Team. The chaperones for the trip were Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Padgett, Mr. and Mrs. Ron Volk, and Diane Behn. Besides the ski trip, the FFA was involved in other events including dairy judging, land use judging, crop judging, livestock judging, parlia- mentary procedure, the spring banquet, public speaking, a safety seminar, conventions, founda- tion interviews, a barnyard zoo, and building a weight sled for the track teams. ln regard to their participation in many events this year, Ag Advisor Weston commented, The FFA has made numerous achievements which were well deserved.
