Rex was an outstanding vocational ag instructor and counselor at Denison High School for many years. He encouraged young men from the farm that they needed to pursue their education. Under his direction the FFA flourished. Mr. Ruch organized evening school seminars for farmers. Students, upon graduating, could continue their education at college or they were ready to begin farming by using the latest trends and methods they had learned during four years of vocational ag. Mr. Ruch had a positive influence upon the students at DHS.
