F. F. A. CLUB Vocational Agriculture was introduced in Plains High School in 1939, for which many boys have been very grateful. In 1941 the new agriculture building was completed in which a well-equiped class room and shop were completed. This is appreciated by the boys as shown by their work and accomplishments, such as helping the people with culling, running contour lines, butchering, pruning, cleaning up the town, entertain- ing and in many other ways. - The boys have produced many pounds of food and fiber and have demonstrated much leadership, for which they have received many awards. Some,of them who are outstanding are three continuous first place banners in chapter conducting, and many other first, second, and third place banners. he have received fourteen Lone Star Farmer Awards and two American Farmer awards, an outstanding achievement for such a young chapter. This year's work started with twenty-eight active members. The boys have their meetings every first Mon- day night so that they carry on their chapter business in a good style. The business is followed by an en- tertainment with the F. H. T. girls. The boys have made many contest trips which have been valuable in training. One of the highlights of the year and one which will not be forgotten was the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show trip. In these activities boys have learned to a- ssociate with other people. In the agriculture classes the boys learn to do things by approved methods and put many of them into practice on their home projects., They also learn to do many repair and construction jobs that are needed on the farm and ranch. The boys like this kind of thing to do, because it required use of the hands. Therefore boys who get interested in the course can make it an in- teresting subject. N.
