Junior Dairymen from Granton (Clark Co., Wis.) High School place first in the state this past week for superior achievements accomplished this past year. They were honored at their annual Junior Dairyman's state convention held this past week at Oshkosh. They were awarded a huge trophy, which they have on display in downtown Granton. They were also awarded a check, which they will use to take their members to the World Dairy Exposition this fall in Madison. Bill Dahl, president of the local group, was present to accept the trophy and check.

Granton members were cited for their monthly record keeping, record analysis, and activities of the group which included a trip to the Minnesota State Fair to see the cattle, a parents night they held, newsletters they published, and speaking demonstration, and judging contests they participated in.

Also in attendance at the convention were Dan Sladek, secretary of the local group, and his advisor, Francis Steiner.

Other schools winning in order of their placings were Eau Claire, Menomonie, Berlin, Neillsville, and East Troy.
