The efforts of those who have
been most closely identified with
the building up of the Rusk depart
ment have not gone unrecognized.
This year Supt Chapman was given
I an award by the Area IX vocation
al agriculture teachers from 29
counties of East Texas. He was

contributed most to vocational
agriculture during the year
Duncan was declared the out-
standing vocational agriculture
i teacher in the East Texas district
this year.
It's the contention of roost that
Duncan did a fine job—even from
his chair, and they look for even
more accomplishments under his
on-the-spot supervision.
