FF picks junior as president It was a year for making history for the Red Oak chapter of the Future Farmers of America. A junior, Gary Carroll, was elected chapter president. Rick Hennings, a senior, went through greenhand initiation and a girl, Cindy Teer, became the first female to enroll in agriculture at ROHS. Greenhand initiation started off the year with 30 new members, a bucket of green dye and a mouthful of barnyard pudding. Each of the greenhands was required to have his own individual project that included calves, barrows, poultry and crops. After the initiation, Stacie Redd, ajunior, was elected FFA Sweetheart. She presented ribbons to the winners of the local project show and participated in the Area Sweet- heart Contest. As usual, the chapter built trailers, ran the concession stand at junior varsity-junior high football games and exhibited livestock at the Fort Worth Stock Show. They also entered stock at the Texas State Fair in Dallas and the Ellis County Livestock Show. The livestock project center was repaired and used for the eleventh year. An experimental plot of McNair wheat was planted on FFA land along with a potato patch where would-be farmers plowed the ground, planted and harvested the crop. Animal sci- ence, plant science, leadership, soil science, and shop were studied during the year. Iwiii 'Y ,,,4 ' Gary Carroll, junior, presides over a meeting of the Red Oak chapter.
