Farming, Saturday, February 20, 1960 6 Looking Back Garden Spot FFA Made History E LESLIE RISSER By Tho Garden Spot FFA, at Lampeter - Strasburg High School was organized in 1930. Landis Heller, Jr., the first president, had many difficulties, such a& conduct ing meetings and organizing the different activities. The things done then, were not run as smoothly as they are today. Even though it was the first year, with the help of the able president, diffe rent activities and tours we re hold A’iso that year the National FFA adopted the emblem which we still use today.

As I looked over the sec retary’s books, of the prev ious yars, I could picture in my mind how differently the things were done The way the meetings were conducted also seemed different. Of course thier first officers did not have anything to pattern their activities after as we have today. This chapter, each year be comes more thriving and the presidents have quite a bit to do with this. Each year it seems they are more cap ably of handling their job As long as this chapter has A. ♦ .

Through the years, more activities were added and some qf .the older ones were dropped. At the pres ent time the activities of the chapter seem to suit the members very well because they pick them. Our chapter has a variety of activities. In the summer we go to the beach, for- a swimming par ty and also conduct an edu cational trip. In the fall our chapter has what we all think is a very important activity. This is participat ing in the local Lampeter Fair. The members have jobs from entering crops and animals to selling soft drink. In the winter we always take a trip to Hershey to see the “Bears” try to win an ice hockey game. Also in the winter we name an FFA Sweetheart Before or after each meeting we have a game of baseball or bas ketball or go bowling In the state of Pennsyl vania only one boy in fifty can receive the Keystone Farmer Degree, and only one in a thousand can re ceive the American Farmer Degree Last year we had two American Farmers and this year we had five Key stone Farmers We are proud of the fact, that seventy six oi our members have at tained the Keystone Fann er Degree and fourteen of them have become Ameri can Farmers.
