FFA Unites Youth With Opportunities The Future Farmers of America is a national orga- nization with a membership that includes young people in all the states of the Union. The organization is composed of chartered State associations which, in turn, are made up of local chapters situated in high schools having departments of vocational agriculture. The students enrolled in such courses constitute its active membership but provision is also made for as- sociate and honorary membership. Being a self-supporting organization, the members of the chapter strived to increase their financial standing by operating a concession stand at basketball games, selling crates of grapefruit and oranges, and the annual pancake and sausage supper. Another an- nual event, the Barnwarming, sponsored by the FFA, occured October 20, 1972. Cindy Hunziker, was crowned FFA sweet heart by the retiring queen, Sherry Flesch. The organization was comprised of members in- cluding six officers. The officers were: president; Mike Miller, vice-pres. ; Dennis Meyer, secretary, Jack Jaspering, treasurer; Gary Krueger, reporter; Tyrone Woolfolk, and sentinel; Kenny Stanek. The advisor, Dale Hackmann, did a fine job in his first year at Wright City.
