As Turlock High School senior Robert Marchy walked over to the agriculture buildings on the school campus Thursday afternoon he was met with shouts of “turn around, let’s see it!” Just like a boxer proudly wearing their championship belt, Marchy’s new blue corduroy jacket was attracting attention. Marchy was elected to a California FFA state officer position this week — an honor a Bulldog hasn’t held in almost 30 years — and his fellow FFA students were excited to see his FFA jacket embroidered with his new title, State Sentinel.
