R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The members of the Stephenville High School FFA
chapter won sweepstakes honors at the FFA Invitational Career
Development Event Judging Contest held at Tarleton State University
on March 21, 2013; and
WHEREAS, Dubbed the world's largest FFA contest, the Tarleton
event drew more than 7,000 FFA students from 400 Texas high schools;
competing in 17 career development events, the Stephenville team
captured the sweepstakes prize and earned a $2,000 scholarship by
accumulating points in eight categories with an admirable
demonstration of knowledge regarding a range of agricultural
topics; and

comprehension of subject matter as well as test technical,
leadership, and interpersonal and teamwork skills; in claiming the

second in both Milk Quality and Wildlife, and scored critical
points in Meats, Livestock, Nursery and Landscape, Dairy, and
Entomology; and
WHEREAS, Presenting the award was Dr. Don Cawthon, dean of
the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at TSU,
which has hosted this event for the last 41 years; chapter president
Whitney Green accepted the scholarship on behalf of the team, which
is preparing for the area FFA contest; and
WHEREAS, These young Texans have demonstrated an impressive
understanding of farm and ranch operations and a firm commitment to
achieving their goals, and they are a source of tremendous pride to
their school and their community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the members of the Stephenville
High School FFA chapter on winning the sweepstakes prize at the 41st
annual Tarleton FFA Invitational Career Development Event Judging
Contest and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued
success in their endeavors; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be

Texas House of Representatives.
