February 17 through the 24ith te National FFA week. We are just closing National Vocational Educa- tk)n We^. Vocatk)oal Agriculture is represented by both. First, traia- ins in agriculture is largely vocatio»- al at the hi^ sohool level. Second, FFA is the national organization for yourth involved in vocational ag¬ riculture. 1 feel youth organizations are extremely important at thia level. Enthusiasm runs high, and young people have the energy to do SOMETHING. Extracurricular ac¬ tivities inchiding athleiis ande school and church orgianizaitiotK can harness this zest and «iergy to build better dtizOK.
These ^iMitti orgemizations can be much nudre than just efforts to get young pdopte off the streets, how¬ ever they are effective in this re¬ spect. Young people want to beoome lespoiKlble citizens, and Ihey recognize tiieh- need for guidance. FFA helped me when I was a teeo- ager. It can do lhe same for others in Huntley, too.
By the time tiifis article is pub¬ lished, two Agriculture Update Meetings will have been heW. The three remaining (are: "New Govern¬ ment Programv, February 20; "How to Keep McHenry County Land In Agriculture, Februaty 27; and '<Con- servation Tillage, March 6."
I hope to see evety person in¬ terested in local agricidture present at least art one meeting of interest to them.

2 Years of College in
When Glen Borhart. entered test fan at McHenry Oomty College, he was a freshman. When he leaves in June, he will transfer to Con¬ cordia Teacher's CoBege in River Forest as a junior. The college is sorry to see him go — but is happy to see ttiat, through regular college classes and proficiency tests. Glen has finished two yearns of college in one year.
Glen graduated from Hmi*iey High School last June and ranked number two in his class. He had active in Future Farmers of Amer¬ ica, and the Natwnal Honor Society, along wilth being a member of tihe football and basketball teams.
Like many other students. Glen didn't know exactly what he wanted to do in Kfe, so he decided to try McHenry Oounty Co«ege for rea¬ sons of pnndiAlty and economy.
In additkm to artAending regular cUisses, Glen si9Kd up for the CLEP (College Level Examination Prognam) tesibs. These natwnwkie standardized enutfnatiMU M«re ^ven to test proftoieocy in both specific subjeota aod general sub¬ ject artes. llttnigh tbne tests, he has received 30 semester hours of credit — the equival^^ of one yew's worth e€ work. Although he wAnaay passflA'tMa Idr 3» iKwn of ageO., the ffiaxiMBm niup^r that one ptnotf nagr ie«^tve crellt.lor i& 30.
Don Barrett, MOC agriculture in¬ structor, and one of Glen's teticheis says that Glen ig tfie kind of stu¬ dent that teachers like to have in class. "Glen is an outstanding stu¬ dent He has a sharp mind, and is a hard worker — a combinatioa that nuikes a good student Glen is also an all-around nice guy, too," says Mr. Barrett.
Glen is also a member of ttie college basketball team, "The Rght- uig Scots." He is the second lead¬ ing rebounder and scorer.
"He is probably the best defen¬ sive baH ^iiayer on the team. The oniy bad thong- about Glen is that he won't be back to play next year," says Bob Matte, MCC basketball Contlnaed on Page Two BORHART
