Winners at the FFA Crop Show this year were Dennis Meier, Reserve Champion and Tom Posch, Grand Champion. Members of the FFA held a business meeting on the third Monday of each month.

The officers elected for the '64-'65 season were: Delroy West- man, pres.; Gary Miest, v. pres.; Wayne Anderson, sec.; Jim Wettestad, treas.; Tom Posch, reporter; Gerry Linn, sentinel; and Larry Wolle, supply. The year's activities included a Crop Show, held on November 21, and the State Judging contests and State FFA convention, both May 3-4. To raise sufficient funds, the profits from the corn plot and magazine sales were put into the treasury. Of this, $100 was given, as a donation, to Camp Courage for a speech-clinic. Advisers for our very ac- tive FFA group were Emery Krech and Odell Bardu- son. The boys who lead the FFA this year were (front row, second from the left) J. Wettestad, Treas.; D. Westman, Pres.; W.

REWARDING OCCUPATION FOR MANY Caught swinging through one of the dances at the FFA-FHA Party were Mr. Barduson and Donna Bayer- kohler. After at least two months of work, six FFA judging teams, a record number, entered the stiff competition at the State FFA Convention held in St. Paul on May 3-4. Ours was the only school to have two state champions, the Poultry Judging Team and Farm Mechanics Team, which had won first places at the district and regional contests. The Poultry Team will go on to the national con- test. Other gold winners were Meat Judging Team as third in state, and the Crops Judging Team as fourth. The Soil Judging Team was a silver win- ner. These groups all received high ratings pre- viously at the district and region. Outstanding in- dividuals at the state were Randy Siem, Dan Olson Lyle Anderson, Terry Sturm, Delroy Westman, Randy Siem, and Gary Miest. Daniel Olson and Lyle Anderson made up the Mechanics Team. FFA Sweetheart, Monica Burke, paused a moment with Dennis Meier, Gary Miest, and Larry Wolle were the her escorts; Tom Posch, Joel Vogt, Gary Miest, and members of the Crops Team. Ev Wright.
