Our FFA initiation was much the same......in 1958. Last thing they did was to blindfold us, load us up in a school bus and drive us around for the better part of an hour. We were put off the bus about 10:00 P.M. and told we could remove our blindfolds and find our way back to the AG building on campus. We were all country boys; it was a blacktop road with no streetlights, there were no radio station or cell phone towers, no traffic.......nothing to tell where we were.
