FFA Activities The Ruby Valley Chapter of FFA began the 1973-74 year by sending three officers-Jeff Marsh, James Gilman, and Steve Burke and adviser, Dan Lantis to Washington D. C. Summer Conference Program in June. They attended a week of meet- ings and toured the capital city. The chapter had a booth at the Great Falls fair and received $200 for their entry. At the county fair in Twin Bridges, the chapter sold concessions jointly with the Twin Bridges Chapter. During the home foot- ball games, the FFA sponsored a concession stand. In Septem- ber all the officers and the adviser attended an officer train- ing course in Three Forks. The chapter invited chapters of the Southwest District to a livestock judging event at the McGregor Ranch, October 6. Sheridan won the first place team trophy and individual trophies went to Janet and Jeff Marsh, first and second. Dave Hoffman, Mike Stender, Dennis Descheemaeker, Joe Tezak, Dan Dedman, and Mr. Lantis attended the FFA National Convention, October 16-20 in Kansas City, Missouri. October 24-26 Janet Marsh, Jeff Marsh, James Gilman, and Scott Descheemaeker were accompanied by Bob Marsh to Billings where they took part in the NILE livestock judging event. Initiation of greenhands and chapter farmers was No- vember 5 in Twin Bridges, with the Ruby Valley,- Twin Bridges, and Dillon chapters jointly performing the ceremonies. Kelly Elser, Mike Stender, Pete Birrer, and Dennis Descheemaeker attended the Winter Fair in Bozeman January 26. February 16-28 the chapter took part in National FFA Week by putting up posters. The chapter also sponsored a slave auction, where the members worked for a day and gave their earnings to the chapter. Team members from the chap- ter attended the District Convention in Livingston, March 8 and 9. April 5-6 a chapter team took part in the State Convention in Billings where they were involved in various competitive ac- tivities. The year ended with a parent-member banquet where greenhand officers performed the installation of 1974-75 of- ficers.

Front Row: Kim Endy, song leader; Cheri Turney, historian; Diane Hardies, secretary; Mary Ann Birdsill, reporter. The FHA began the 73-74 year with the initiation of new members. Later in the season some of the chapter participated in the District Convention held in Anaconda. Inviting their mothers, the girls held their annual chili supper and flea market auction. This year the FHA girls tried for the Honor Red Rose Chap- ter Degree. The girls went Christmas caroling and for the first time held a Christmas party for a number of pre-schoolers in December, which was happily successful. The Secret Grandmother project seemed to add a little different beginning to 1974. The Father-Daughter banquet created excitement for the second year in a row. The big event, held in March, was the style show. Also in March, the four top officers, with special seniors, attended the State Convention. At the end of the month election of new officers was held, follow- ing a taco supper. A spring clean-up day involved as much of the town as possible, after which a large pot- luck was held, which seemed to be enjoyed by both young and old. Throughout the year die FHA-FFA had many joint adventures. May baskets were made and distributed throughout the town to elderly people. The busy year closed with installation of new officers with Secret Grandmothers as guests. FHA er Cheri Turney, at left, was chosen District Vice President for 1974.
