Our FFA members head to Lawrence today for Horse Judging. Good luck to our competitors!

The horse evaluation event fosters interest in equine science through experiential learning and practical application. It recognizes participants for their skills in horse evaluation, instilling leadership, critical thinking, and communication. By participating, students develop a competitive spirit, build career foundations in the equine industry, and advance their knowledge in horse care, selection, and management. This event offers both individual and team activities, including knowledge tests, selection classes, oral reasons, and practical scenarios, all designed to enhance equine science education and prepare students for future opportunities in the field.

Quill and Scroll members of the journalism department are in Nashville for the fall Journalism Education Association/National Scholastic Press Association convention. Today, they visited the Country Music Hall of Fame and toured Studio B where Elvis recorded over 200 songs. The x on the floor is where Elvis and other artists stood during recording sessions. On that spot, he recorded “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” It was at 4 a.m. on April 4, 1960, and he recorded the song in one take in near darkness, which was requested by Elvis to set the tone of the song. The instruments were used by Roy Orison and Elvis. The convention begins this afternoon with a trade show and opening address.
