FFA members were required to complete projects as well as work on club projects. To raise money for the various shows and banquet, the group and parent organizations sold fruit, sausage and had a tractor pull. Probably the most important part of the FFA program was the various livestock shows. Students took their projects to the three major livestock shows: Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Houston. At each show, members brought home ribbons and trophies. In addition, the club also attended several small week-end shows such as Frisco and Collin Coun- ty. Of course, the highlight of the year was the local project show held on the school parking lot. Students showed their projects, then sold them, usually for a profit, to townspeople. The money made the whole thing more fun and worthwhile. A new, exciting note was the opening of the new project center. Built last year with funds raised by the parent supporter group, the barn houses students' projects. In return, the members pay rent and are totally responsible for the care and uptake. FFA 4 35

Language with a flair A Learning the language was not enough in the foreign language classes. You needed to be aware of the par- ticular countries, customs, food, and lifestyles. The best way to become acquainted with these was to join the foreign language club.

By selling spirit hands, the group made money to donate to Pesos for Braces, and Amigos de las Americas. The members varied the routine of class by attending an exhibition of Flamenco Dancers from Spain, and then picnicking in Old City Park. Highlighting the monthly meetings were a talk by Rhadames Salino, from the Dominican Republic, and a Christmas party at the McCasland's. Finally, to top off the year, delegates attended the annual con- vention in San Antonio. After attending workshops, lectures, and the Grande Baile, delegates stayed on an extra day to tour the sights of San Antonio. W 'f.t 5 Q-1 -. European flavor came to Wylie as the French Club sold exotic candies to raise money for their various activities. Gummy bears were by far the favorites. The group began their year by going to the Magic Pan to announce newly-elected officers. Fun times for the group included the all time favorite, eating out, participating in skits, and having an Easter Egg Hunt. .t ami. W A7 A Cheryl Cranford and Esther Schneller counted candy.
