A double wish is sent to Mrs. Robert Vanzevern, who celebrated her birthday on Valentine's ilay, ajid last but not least, a birthday wish is sent to Judy Zetterberg, who was 6 on the seventeenth of February. sorry for the mistake, however, I do believe that Mrs.!

Through training, through study and through application of facts learned in the classroom, on the farm and in the shop, these boys are becoming more and more proficient at this ancient calling. With training through actual farm projects, each year more and more boys are coming out of schools with the "know-how" of farming on a modern scientific basis. It is through these boys that the future of our nation will depend, for only through a strong agriculture can this nation hope to survive. We believe in the future of farming as practiced by the vocational students of the high school. The Following Business Firms Sponsor This Ad In The Interest Of FJF.A.
