FUTURE FAR ER OF MERI A Close to the sod there can be seen a tho't of God in white and green. Early this year we attended the York County Fair. We were repre- sented by an FFA Educational Ex- hibit and individual livestock and crop exhibits. Soon, with a successful County Fair behind us and over a hundred dollars in our pockets to bols- ter our spirits, we held a stunt night and initiation for those hopeless freshmen, the Greenhands. We elected Sue Dabney as our Chapter Sweetheart this year. Many hours went into work on our shrubbery rooting bed, growing to- mato plants for members' use and for sale, pruning shrubbery on the high school grounds, setting out pine seed- lings, putting a Chapter and individ- ual exhibits in the Nature Museum Science Fair.
