F. F. A. - J' -'L K A 1 L., 1 i -in-4 'df A 54 'A fm f ss 'Lf U a K ,-. - I-Q--gr' 3 1?-.. The Walkerton Chapter of F.F.A. is one of over 8,000 chapters in the United States. Five hundred thousand high school boys enrolled in Vocational Agriculture are members of these chapters. FFA activities include regular Vo-Ag class work in which crops and livestock production, soils, farm management, and shopwork are studied. Judging teams represented the chapter at the state level in three contests this year. The vegetable judging team won an all- expense paid trip to Washington, D. C. in December, where they participated in the National Contest. Three fund-raising drives are conducted. They are candy sales, seed sales, and the FFA slave auction. Funds from these sources are used to finance the expenses of sending a delegation to the annual FFA convention at Purdue and the Annual three-day FFA trip to a city within a three-hundred mile radius of Walkerton. Last year's trip was to St. Louis. The Chapter is proud of its efforts in community service. Repre- sentative of this area are the daily color guard 'Assembly' and 'Retreat' ceremonies, and presentation of the national and state colors at all home basketball games. This year chapter members plan to produce for market over 320,000 worth of Agricultural Products. 111 c 5 41 ' , an av' '55 46
