Grade 9 Agriculture Class was a Rite of Passage at NDSS
By John McCarney
In 1965, my Grade 9 Agriculture class, with Mr. Klinck, incubated a few dozen fertilized chicken eggs. Each class we would open an egg to study the development of the chick. We only did this for a little while because Mr. Klinck said to continue would be cruel.
The first time my mom heard about these chicks was when I brought these little guys home in a box. To say she wasn’t pleased would be an understatement. I gave the chicks to a friend who lived on a farm.
The things that Mr. Klinck taught us about where our food comes from was amazing.
