Students and advisors alike felt great enthusiasm and pride for the newly founded organization. By the second convention 156 more chapters had been established, and 3,014 joined FFA for the first time. During the first years of the FFA, students competed in many activities. Because travel was not easy, many of the contests were held in conjunction with the state convention. The FFA made many advances during the 1930s and 1940s. At the 1933 national FFA convention the now-common FFA jacket was introduced. The jacket not only symbolized the pride and dedication of the organization, but it also served as a bond between members.
