Future Farmers

The Neillsville Chapter of the Future Farmers of America held its first meeting of the school year during the second week in September. At that meeting the following officers were elected: President, Archie Stockwell; vice-president, Robert Gerhardt; and secretary, Donald Braatz.

The first undertaking of the chapter was to send two judging teams to the state contest at Madison, October 5th and 6th. The following team members were sent: grain judging, Carl Drasso, Everette McKenzie, and Archie Stockwell; stock judging, Lowell Huckstead, Clinton Phelps, and George Pagenkopf. Each team won fourth place in its judging in the state event in which over one hundred high schools took part.

The Chapter again sponsored the Clark County Rural School Crop Judging Contest on April 14-15. Over 400 rural school students attended the event.

A Future Farmer radio broadcast was presented from station WTAQ at Eau Claire on March 6th. Roy Feutz, Lowell Huckstead, Gale Vandeberg, Donald Braatz, William Noel, Carl Dasso, Harold Palzin*, Archie Stockwell, and Donald Vine took part in the broadcast.

The Future Farmer basketball team played seven games, winning five and losing two. The first team was composted by Roy Feutz, Glenn Gerhardt, David Krutsch, and Frederick McIntyre.

A checker tournament was conducted for the first time this year. Thirty-eight boys played each Wednesday noon for eighteen weeks. Harold Palzin* was the winner of the tournament with eighteen wins and no defeats.

The Chapter will be represented in the district Future Farmers Speaking Contest at Marshfield April 12. Lowell Huckstead, who reached the state finals at Madison last year, will again represent Neillsville.

*Transcribers note - Harold's last name should be spelled Polzin.
