Agriculture is a vast vocation. Many people think of agriculture as growing plants and raising animals, but it also includes agricultural mechanics, proces- sing, and services. In the course of Vocational Agriculture, Pennridge attempts to provide as much training and experience as possible in this broad field. Approximately one-third of the time in school is spent in the agricul- ture shop. Study and theory in the class- room is an essential part of the course. The home project program gives the student an opportunity to practice and specialize in the phase in which he is most interested. girl 44 We'll hitch this wagon to a star.
