FA Teaching tools for practical technical skills Future Farmers of America offers a lot of op- portunities for agrilculture students, it encourages practical application of technicals skills and leader- ship, all vital to successful employment in modern agriculture, according to Les Deuel and Bernard Zarosky, sponsors. Being an FFA member, I get hands on experience at a lot of things concerning agriculture, said Mary Hagel, senior. Most of the members enter animals in the annual stock show. Not only do they get experience in the agriculture field, they often earn enough money from the sale of the animal to start college. Several students are chosen to compete in the Houston Live Stock show and receive scholarships. Being a FFA member gives me the opportunities to become involved in one of the largest industries in America, said Rhonda Broz, president.

oe Pre-Lab building self-confidence while learning skills Voe Pre-lab is slowly decreasing in size, but getting better than ever! Although Pre- lab has only eleven members, the club has stayed very active. Even though we have a small group of people, we still have various service projects, said Sherri Mike, junior. I find that being in a smaller group, we are able to become a more united club, she added. The purpose of this club is to build self-confidence in Professional make-overs were provided by Looking Great of Victoria. Pre-lab member. Leticia Prado, learns how to apply make-up, as well as flow to dress for success. Visiting cfiildren at the Tender Loving Care day care center proved to be a big success among Pre-lab members. Leticia Prado and Sally Sierra made a couple of friends real fast. yourself, to become a better person and learn worthwhile skills in business. When I first got into Pre-lab, I wasn ' t real sure of what I was getting into, said Stephanie Guerra. Now I am glad that I joined because I have really learned a lot about myself, she added. Service projects included visiting the Tender Loving Care day care center and distributing candy for Halloween. The fund-raisers included many bake sales at school and the malls. In describing what Pre-lab means to me, I would have to tell you that it is a worthwhile club because I have learned to become a better person. I can be more attentive to other people besides myself and I can now take respon- sibility for my own actions. I now have self confidence that I have never had before.
