Holbrooks said that the an-

would be 91 boys- enough to

ever, in order to qualify for a

to be inaugurated.
The department la well

a feeding pen with three large
sheds so that boys can carry
out projects without having
the animals at home.

“It is always.a challenge to
work with young people. I
believe last year was the most
challenging of my 17 years

brooks said, then he went on
to point out a few problems.
He said it was difficult to
understand how a boy could
