Vocational students combine pleasure with experience Future Farmers and Homemakers finished many proiects this year by using their experience and knowledge to complete them. Encouraging them were contests to test their skills in projects completed during and after school hours. Welding, taught to agriculture students, comes in handy when repairing farm machinery. Contests available for entry include grain, livestock, land, dairy, pasture grazing, and cotton iudging and classification. Students may also enter contests dealing with concrete mixing, welding, chapter con- ducting, radio programming, and public speaking. Sewing, one of the many subiects taken up duringthe year by home- making students, is learned on a trial-by-error basis. Pattern books available in class give each girl the opportunity to select the pattern of her choice. Sewing begins with making an apron, followed by a skirt and then a blouse. After gaining enough experience, a student may enter the Make- It-With-Wool Contest. Homemaking and agriculture students may participate in contests on dis- trict, state, area, and national levels. 3 John Stinnett and Danny Drake demonstrate welding skills learned during class hours. it is if Y, if A i Mixing concrete are Richard Marquez, Jimmy Jarrell, Harry Barren, and Randy Burt.
