reason of presently known information on head trauma. He believes that will impact both college and professional football. He also believes “club” sports are having a negative impact on high school softball and baseball progams. The club members appreciated Johnston’s visit.

Students in the Roland-Story veterinary science class recently completed an activity in which they learned new skills sets in the area of the animal’s circulatory system. The activity required the students to go around the classroom and to
take measurements of the 2-week-old chicks heart rate, respiratory rate and pulse rate. These were infused within the lesson of learning how to use various pieces of veterinary equipment such as a stethoscope.
According to Brad Taylor, R-S agriculture instructor, “The activity allowed the students the opportunity to put into practice items within our current unit that we have been studying in regards to the circulatory system of animals.”

Nevada agriculture mechanics students build splitting stands Nevada High School agriculture mechanics students needed to split a tractor to service an engine clutch. Problem was they needed more splitting stands as other projects are in repair also. “Well, we have welders, chop saws and steel, go ahead and build one,” said Kevin Cooper, Nevada High School agriculture education instructor and FFA advisor. “And build well enough that
someone would want to buy it!” The students studied different aspects of what was needed and traveled to John Lee’s shop by Maxwell to see how his was constructed. Soon the steel was cut, casters and one-inch threaded stock was purchased at Hokel Machine Supply in Ames, and students then began to measure, mock up, weld, grind and assemble. The fabricated assembly was
put to test when it was bolted to the tractor and had to work. Everything worked, and the students are presently determining repairs that need to be made on the tractor. “I am so impressed with the passion and drive that these young people have to accomplish projects, they came in after school, and at night to work ahead on the project!” Cooper said.
