Jack Sisk, son of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Sisk of Sperryville, and Glen and Randall Updike, sons of Mr. and Mrs. John Updike, Washington, along with four other Virginia boys, make up the team.

The V.P.I. group has been winning honors in east coast competition this season. At the Pennsylvania Livestock Exposition in Harrisburg the Virginia Tech team placed 8th in colleg iate judging. Randall Updike placed first in sheep judging at this show.

At the Eastern National Livestock Exhibition in Baltimore, the team placed 4th in overall competition and Randall Uudike was high man in the overall contest. He was top in cattle and second in swine judging and received a gold Hamilton watch in addition to the Shorthorn trophy.

Jack Sisk did not judge in the eastern competition, but joined the group for the trip to Chicago.
