Jeremy Wright (left) accepts award from Vo-Ag teacher Bill
Umbaraer
Fourteen-year-old Jeremy Wright
of Heppner has won second place in
the Future Farmers of America
Creed Speaking sectional contest
held Feb. 26.
Wright, a freshman at Heppner
High School, is one of eight finalists
in the State FFA contest. He will
travel to Corvallis the week of
March 15 to compete in the state
FFA convention. This is Wright’s
first year of FFA. He is the son of
David Wright, Heppner and Linda
Stubenrauch, Hermiston.
According to Heppner High
School vo-ag teacher and FFA ad­
visor, Bill Umbarger, Wright com­
peted against six other FFA’ers at
the sectional contest, made up of
three districts—Blue Mountain
District, Eastern Oregon District and
the Snake River District.
Umbarger said that students are
judged on delivery and their
response to a question asked each of
them. The same question is asked
each student, but the question varies
from contest to contest.
Umbarger, who taught three years
in Pendleton before coming to Hepp­
ner, has taken other FFA students to
state—a fourth place team in
parliamentary procedure, a third
place in public speaking, a first in
talent and many proficiency award
winners. He said that a number of
his students have gained the state
Farmer degree and some became
state officers. One student earned the
American Farmer degree, the
highest degree attainable in FFA.
