Today, these 6 boys conquered nerves and fears as they participated in the Jack Charles Schneider Foundation Camp and Contest at the winter Missouri Professional Auctioneers Association conference. They spent 6.5 hours learning and practicing the art of auctioneering before getting the opportunity to auction off 2 items to a live crowd. All of these boys did a great job. Peyson and Garrett placed in the top 10 of all the contestants and earned the opportunity to compete at the state contest this summer at the Missouri State Fair. If you see these boys, tell them congrats and ask them to share their new talent with you! Also, if you need a good group of ringmen or help at an upcoming auction, find one of these 6!

Parent's Name: Philip and Janice Magruder
What are your plans for next year?
The spring semester of my senior year I will apply for a state FFA office! If I obtain an office I will attend Missouri State for a year and then transfer to The University of Georgia. If being a state FFA officer isn’t Gods intended path for me I will take a semester of classes online through MACC and transfer to a the University of Georgia. I will continue my walk in agriculture by studying ag communications and journalism!
What School Activities are you involved in?
FFA President, Area III 1st Vice President, NHS, Environmental Club Vice President of Education, Student Council, and Hawkins Drama Club
What is your favorite High School Memory?
My favorite high school memory is being on the Soils team with my best friend and having Brady Schmidt as our coach! We all made matching bracelets that said “dirtbags.”
What class in High School do you/did you enjoy the most?
My favorite class would be anything to do with agriculture but ceramics is a close second!
Who do you admire the most and why?
The person I admire most would have to be Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. The way he loved with humility, compassion, and forgiveness is truly inspiring. I can only hope to strive to be a better person and love like him!
What teacher had the biggest influence on you and why?
The teacher that had the biggest influence on me would have to be Mr. Schmidt. He continually believed in me through every speech, office, and contest. He pushed me to be the best I can be and always had confidence for me when I didn’t have it myself. I wouldn’t be where I am today whether that be in life or FFA without him! Oh and he has the BEST wife and kids! And I have to mention Mrs. Parman, she may be new here but she’s already made such an impact and South is lucky to have her!
What is the one thing you will miss most about South Shelby?
Honestly, nothing. I am excited to see what other places have to offer!
