Jeffrey Kerr, State FFA
Sentinel, in a brief speech

special guests in attendance
not to “shake the ladder of
success.”
“The ladder of success is
the bard work in achieving

first rung.

“Trophies and plaques
should play no part. They
tarnish and fade. If we
achieve one rung we can
tackle the rest of the ladder
one step at a time.
“Persistance keeps us
climbing. As we climb the
ladder of success co
operation with others keeps
us together.
“Through the desire to
achieve confidence, per
sistance and cooperation are
obtained we have
achieved the ladder of
success.
“Don’t shake the ladder”
Kerr stressed in closing.
