VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE Vocational agriculture began in Bollinger County in 1950. Mr. Wesley Proffer was the first agriculture teacher. The department was located in the building situated just be- low and next to the present Senior Citizen Center in Lutes- ville. Mr. jewel! Mooney came as instructor in July of 1955. The enrollment dropped to 25 students the first year, then gradually built back up to 74 students in 1984 when Mr. Moo- ney retired. All vocational agriculture members were FFA members. Woodland School, or Lutesville High School, as it was called in 1955, was the only agriculture department in the county. Meadow Heights now has a department also. Adult classes dealing with various agricultural topics have al- ways been offered. A veterans class was held at the Lutesville High School vocational agriculture department for several years after World War II. Mr. Gary Lincoln taught agriculture classes for two years after Mr. Mooney’s retirement. Mr. Nick Thiele is the current instructor. Top - Leonard Foster worked on a tractor in the agriculture shop.
