Vocational Agriculture Filling Another Need

By ED WASHLER Vocational agriculture has long been a part of our educational system and is still an active part of it. In the past vo. ag. classes were concerned only with the education of farm people and was designed to educate those people planning to farm. However, in the last few years, the changing trends and times and consequent movement of farm people to the urban areas have created changes in vo. ag. classes. Production agriculture is still the core curriculum, but added are alternate curriculum of: Ag. mechanics (operational at Wawasee H. S 3, horticulture (proposed for Wawasee H. S. next year) and agri-sales and service (proposed for Wawasee H. S. in the future). Production agriculture is still taught because many agricultural-ly-related jobs require a background of the production sciences.

Wawasee FFA Chapter Is Active One

By Jerry Myers | The Wawasee Future Farmers of America chapter recently met in the wooded lots owned by Mr. Henry Smith, principal of Wawasee high school, and while there they cleaned the woods of underbrush and small trees. It seems that Mr. Smith had contacted the boys about doing the job for him and after negotiations between him and and boys, the job was undertaken by the chapter as a money-making project. With corn and bean harvesting going on at the same time, it was a little rough making it to the work days, but the job is now completed and the money from the project will be used by the boys to pay their way to the International Livestock Exposition held in Chicago. All vocational agriculture and FFA chapter members will go on a bus to Chicago today (Wednesday) to view the proceedings. Christmas Day is begun with a church service in Bulgaria.

Agri-mechanics is taught (available to any senior boy at W. H. S.) to fulfill the need for trained people specializing in agri-mechanics. Many businesses have a crying need for people trained in one or more of the horticultural areas of agriculture. For example, our state needs people trained for road-side beautification projects, local nurserymen need help in all phases of their production operations, plus they need people for design and sales positions and due to the fact that we do live in a summer recreation area, our golf course people have a need for trained turf managers. Because of the jobs available in the horticulture area, this course will be open to any boy or girl desiring to enroll in it next year at Wawasee. Vocational agriculture is teaching students to apply scientific information to profuce more food, fiber and services where these things are needed.

Lakeland Youth News By Terry Auker

The Lost Souls put on a very unusual show last Wednesday night that seemed to go over very big. They had three-45 minute sessions in which there was no pause. They just went from song to song. It was really fabulous. Our project dance went real well and we really appreciated the boys who donated their time and the kids who came out and supported the dance. We should have the new dance lights in about two weeks. Good luck Warriors in your game against Concord Friday night. Let’s break that losing streak with a big victory. We have been having some personal items come up missing at dance night recently and though the center is not responsible for lost or stolen items, if you have anything of value, please give it to me to hold for you during the dance or leave the item at home. We are collecting articles for a needy family, so if you have clothes, canned goods or toys, bring them to the Youth Center before December 22. Remember seme aren’t as lucky as others, but still deserve a happy holiday. We will soon be putting up our Christmas tree and we need decorations, so if you have a few to spare we sure would appreciate them.

1 James Rummel i Graduates From Recruit Training SAN DIEGO — Marine private James I. Rummel, Jr., son of Mrs. Betty Himes of Milford, Ind., was graduated from eight weeks of recruit training at the marine corps recruit depot here. He will now undergo from two to four weeks of individual combat training and then, after leave at home, will report to his first marine corps assignment. The intensified marine recruit training emphasizes rigid physical conditioning and survival techniques, both at sea and ashore, to develop self-confidence and endurance. Marksmanship with the M-14 rifle and 45-caliber pistol are equally stressed, and close order drill instills the traditions of marine corps teamwork. A thorough study of basic military subjects, hygiene, first aid and sanitation, and the customs, courtesies, history and mission of the marine corps serve to polish the new marine’s recruit education and prepare him to join the marine combat forces.
