Fife...
Dr.
Ray Fife, State Supervisor for Ohio was
unable to attend the organization meeting
and appointed R. B. Warner Vocational Agriculture
teacher at Ashley, to represent Ohio.
"In
reality the FFA movement started a year
earlier, at the second national congress
of vocational agriculture students, when
a resolution was passed to investigate
a comprehensive new national organization."

The
First National FFA Officer Team..
"There was a lot of excitement about
starting a new organization and we worked
together as a team to get the job done. It
has surely done well over the years."
"We
met in the Baltimore Hotel in Kansas City
on November 17th, 1928. We were there with
a positive goal. We were determined to do
the job!"

for adopting the name, emblem, and constitution
were presented and approved."
