Farmers Plow Their Way To The Top Anthony DeLala Rides again. Among the variety of subjects offered at Pompano Beach High School, students have an opportunity to learn agriculture in Future Farm- ers Of America (FFA). Mr. Bretz, a teacher with 21 years of teaching experience behind him, teaches agricultural mechanics and farm. In ag- ricultural mechanics students learn to work with tractors and other farm equipment while in farm, they learn to raise livestock. Each student is responsible for his or her own animal project. It can range from intermating breeds of animals to disease management, both which involve the care and maintainance of the livestock. Mr. Mattingly, who’s taught for five years, teaches horticulture. This subject involves landscaping, care and maintenance of plants, and plant diseases. Students learn from Mr. Mattingly how to correctly plant and raise plants as well as helpful landscaping tech- niques. By the time the end of the year rolls around, FFA has given students the advantage of preparing them for a prosperous career after graduation. Show him who’s boss Doug.

Under the | direction of Ms. Andria, and the leadership of Melinda Nosifora, Tiziana | Cerri, Donna Petritis, and Donna Russo, the club has made a lot of i|progress. During the first semester, they participated in a service project to help beautify the school’s campus. They also served | sandwiches to the teachers. } The club was originally named the Italian Club in 1981, but || because the Italian class was dropped in 1983,the members felt ijthat they should change the club’s name to Italian International.
