ber and Manheim Central senior

experience with public speaking as
essential to his career decision.
Jason Wivell credits his many
years of working with dairy cattle
in his decision to major in ag sci
ence at Penn State. Jason, 18, son
of Rebecca Wivell, Elizabethtown,
has worked the past five years for
the Ken Myer dairy in Elizabeth
town, taking care of the Red and
White herd.
A 10-year 4-H member, as an
Elizabethtown FFA’er Jason gar
nered much work experience in
raising and showing cattle. He said
he is considering a career in some
aspect of dairy nutrition, perhaps
in ag sales. He believes, that col

take with him from a college with a
“great reputation in agricultural
education.’’
Eugene Barton, Jr., 17-year
old son of Earl Ruhl, Lititz, has
plans to study ag engineering at
Penn State.

Andy Bollinger plans to attend
a college that specializes in train
ing dairy specialists at Hutchison
Technical College in Minnesota.
Andy said he made the decision to
attend the technical college by
information obtained from an
uncle who lives there and works
with an accountant
The college provides
a one-year certificate in
dairy management with
an emphasis on
business.
“I grew up on a dairy
and I like it a lot,” said
Andy.
What makes the study
at Hutchison so impor
tant is the emphasis on
veterinary experiences
and livestock manage
ment aspects, such as
hoof trimming.
“They explain those
types of things and ways
to build your own dairy
setup and obtain the
proper training,” he
said.
Andy, 18, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Bol
linger, Lititz, is a senior
at Ephrata. As part of his
four-year FFA experi
ence, he was worked
with his father on the
dairy. Andy has also
served as county officer
and obtained a great
deal of leadership train
ing through FFA.
Karen Greineder,
18, Lancaster, has used
her experience in educa
tion and teaching for a
career as a dietician.
Karen will study in the
fall at the University of
Pittsburgh, which pro
vides internships for
those to obtain the
necessary “hands-on”
training in dietary
nutrition.
Karen said she visited the Pitts
burgh area twice. A friend of the
family mentioned some of the
opportunities available, which
appealed to Karen. Karen said she
“really, really liked” what she
heard and saw. “There are many
demands growing through
chemistry.”
Karen, 18, is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Greineder, Lan
caster. A chemistry honors stu
dent, Karen also credits her chemi
stry teacher at Lancaster Catholic,
Mr. Scott Bailer, “a really excel
lent teacher,” she said, for her
career decision.
Laura Watson has made plans
to attend the Philadelphia College
of Textiles and Science to study
fashion design.
Laura, 17, daughter of John and
Kay Watson, Lititz, enjoyed much
of the work she did in sewing and
art as a youngster and also took
several courses through Warwick
High School. She said the Held is
“very competitive” and consid
ered other schools, such as the
University of Delaware, as
possibilities.
The work of her home econom
