"Vocational Agriculture was first offered in the Postville High School in the school year 1925-26, and obviously it took some time before FFA was chartered. In the summary of noteworthy news, news of Vocational Agriculture is included back to and including the opening of the department, but the FFA and Vocational Agriculture have been so interdependent that we don't feel this is an injustice. Actually, were it not for the foresighted adminstrators of the beginning stages, we would not now be celebrating our Golden Anniversary" - 50 Years of Progress brochure.
