P-ville FFA Has Another Outstanding Year The Pflugerville FFA has once again proved itself to be a strong and respectable chapter. In the fall of '84 Pflugerville Junior Chapter Conducting team did the same. Then in the spring of '85 the land judging team advanced to Regional and finally State Competition. The FFA sent the Chapter sweetheart to District Competition in Taylor. We accepted banners for the Jr. Chapter conducting and land at the conven- tion also. The highlight of the year was the Austin-Travis County Livestock Show and Rodeo. Pflugerville, despite House Bill 72. dominated the whole show. Our Chapter claims 156 out of 300 animals in the sale ring along with 13 of the 20 champions, which equals 65% of the show. The Youth Fair was a large success. Everyone was pleased with the students participation. Sophomore Gregory Jett shows off trophy after win- ning Grand Champion pig at Pflugerville Livestock Show.

The students are required to obtain 20 signatures from up perclassmen and perform stunts as laying eggs, air raids, pushing pennies and dimes, and painting their hands green. The school year concluded with a childrens barnyard sponsored by the FFA. Children from both Pflugerville Elementary Schools are brought to the Ag. farm and experience thrills with various farm animals which are supplied by different Ag. students. Our Chapter is very proud of the program and activities and is very thankful to Mr. Wilke and Mr. Vrabil for their continuing support.

Most of the FFA students will agree when you say that the funniest day of the year in Ag. is greenhand initiation day. This is when the first year Ag. students wear their clothes inside out and have to do things for the veteran Ag. students all day. For example, they have to run through the halls screaming air raid and falling on the floor shooting at the air. Some have to entertain the students at lunch by singing old hits like I'm a Little Tea Pot. For each stunt the greenhands receive a signature by veteran Ag. students. At the end of the day they must have received at least 20 signatures. Greenhands. freshman West Young. Shannon Lmdcrgen. Gregory Fors. Kevin Terry. Grant Henning. D Lisa Schlab.
