The Future Farmers of America have again had a very eventful year and have brought more honors to our school. The livestock judging team deserves a great deal of recognition for its outstanding achievements this past year. Winning first in the county contest, they went to the dis- trict, placing second. It seems that they were due for a drop, because they fell to thirteenth at the Purdue Round-up. The real thrill came when the team went to Indianapolis and placed first in the state contest. The boys and coach were all smiles as they came home with their electric clocks and fountain pens. The team then ended its livestock judging career by plac- ing fifth in the national contest at Chicago. The FFA boys again sold pop at all home basketball games. Also they increased their treasury considerably by selling subscriptions to THE FARM QUARTERLY. Too, the chapter div- ided itself into two teams for a pest contest. The winning team enjoyed a fish dinner at the expense of the losing one. Bottom row, L. to R.: Julian Bell, vice pres.; Rolland Crow, pres.; Dale Long, sec. Second row: Mr. Acord, Adviser; Maurice Oglesby, treas.; Duane Royer, sentinel; Earl Unger, reporter.
